Solid black circle.
27
A ferrous metal has a high content of ?

28
Which statement describes a non-ferrous metal?
Contains little or no iron and is usually non-magnetic.
29
A metal that is a red or yellow color is most likely what type of metal?
Copper or Brass
30
What is the normal colour for steels and cast irons?
Silvery grey
31
If a metal that has fractured shows a dull grey appearance in its internal structure, with no bending before breaking, it is most likely?
Gray Cast Iron.
32
In using a chip test to identify a metal, what would a smooth continuous chip indicate?
A soft material like aluminum
33
How is cast iron distinguished from low carbon steel in a spark test?
The sparks given off by cast iron are short with red bursts near the grinder.
34
How can using a new hand-held file give you an estimate of a metal's hardness?
If the file bites into the metal easily, it is likely a soft material.
35
Describe the oxyfuel cutting process?
Oxyfuel cutting is a controlled process of rapid oxidation in which steel is heated to its kindling temperature and a high-pressure jet of pure oxygen is directed to the heated area. Metal exposed to the oxygen oxidizes and is blown away by the oxygen jet stream.
36
Which ferrous-based metals cannot be cut satisfactorily with an oxyfuel cutting torch?
Cast irons and Stainless steels
37
The space created when a piece of metal is cut is called the?
Kerf
38
On a combination cutting torch, the oxygen valve on the torch handle must be?
Fully open
39
The larger the orifices of a cutting tip the?
Thicker the plate that you can cut.
40
Which metals can be readily cut using the oxyfuel cutting process?
Mild steels
41
The ability of a metal to permanently deform under lad without breaking is known as?
Ductility
42
The ultimate pull that a material will withstand is called?
Tensile strength
43
Dynamically loaded structures are subject to?
Reversals of stress
44
Which is the best example of a dynamically loaded structure?
The boom on a crane making a lift, and then swinging the load.
45
Electrodes used in a SMAW are often called?
Consumable electrodes
46
Electrode specifications are written by?
CSA and AWS
47
In the AWS classification for SMAW mild steel electrodes, what does the last digit represent?
The major ingredient in the coating and recommended current for the best results.
48
What do the first two digits in the AWS classification for carbon steel SMAW electrodes represent?
As-weld minimum tensile strength
49
In the CSA numbering system for welding electrodes, what does the prefix letter E represent?
Electrode
50
What is one characteristic of an E6010 electrode?
Deep penetration into the base metal.
51
What is one purpose of the flux coating on a welding electrode?
To protect the molten weld puddle from atmospheric contamination.
52
What is one function of the slag produced from electrode coatings?
To prevent the weld from cooling to rapidly
53
What is the main purpose for keeping low hydrogen electrodes dry?
To minimize the possibility of hydrogen-induced cracking
54
To weld thin materials you would likely select an electrode with?
A small diameter core wire.
