Intro to Welding(SB-3) Flashcards
(True or False) The source of heat for the forge welding process is a flow of electricity
between two contacts.
False
In welding terms, RSW means _____.
resistance spot welding
the source of heat for electric arc welding is
a flow of electricity between 2 contacts
(True or False) The primary advantage of using shielded metal-arc welding is that it
produces high-quality welds rapidly at a low cost.
True
What is the primary purpose of the gas in gas shielded arc welding?
prevent atmospheric contamination
When welding two pieces of metal together, you will often need to leave a space to be filled
in. What material is added during the welding phase?
filler metal
(True or False) The two types of filler metals commonly used in welding are welding rods and welding electrodes.
false
(True or False) A common property of a welding rod and a welding electrode is that both are used to conduct electricity.
false
Into what categories are electrodes classified when they are divided into groups?
consumable/non-consumable
What term refers to materials that are used to dissolve or facilitate the removal of oxides and other undesirable substances formed during welding?
fluxes
A good flux does NOT have to

How large, in degrees, is the groove angle when the edges of each of two joints that are to be joined are beveled to an angle of 45 degrees?
90
Which factors must you consider to determine the bevel angle, groove angle, and root opening for a weld joint?
kind of joint, welding process, thickness of base metal
What term refers to the depth that a groove weld extends into the root of a joint?
root penetration
What type of weld bead is made by using a side-to-side oscillation?
weave
What factor in the welding process does the term “buildup sequence” refer to?
order in which the beads of a multipass weld are deposited
What type of weld has a triangular cross section?
