SAW
A part of the electrical circuit.
Electrode
Metallic wire used to fill the gap between the base metals to be joined. It need not be a part of the electrical circuit.
Filler Metal
A colloquial name of electrodes/filler metal, used in SMAW process.
Welding Rod
A continuously fed tubular electrode. Which method?
FCAW
Welds are either _____ or _____, not good or bad.
acceptable or rejectable
An interruption in the typical structure of a weldment.
Discontinuity
A discontinuity that fails to meet the minimum acceptance level stated in a code or specification.
defect
The melting together of filler metal and base metal, or of base metal only, which results in coalescence.
Fusion
Fusion which is less than complete.
Incomplete fusion
the minimum depth a groove or flange weld extended from its face into a joint exclusive of reinforcement.
penetration
penetration which is less than specified.
incomplete penetration
weld metal in excess of the quantity required to fill a joint.
reinforcement
solid material trapped in the weld metal or between weld metal and base metl
inclusions
A void or cavity formed by gas entrapment during weld solidification
porosity
fracture type discontinuity with a sharp tip and high length-to-width ratio
cracks
The protrusion of weld metal beyond the toe, face, or root of a weld, without fusion.
overlap
A groove melted into the base metal adjacent to the toe or root of a weld and left unfilled by weld metal
undercut
a depression on the face or root surface of a weld extending below the surface of adjacent base metal
underfill
metal particles expelled during welding, which do not form a part of the weld
spatter
a discontinuity consisting of any localized re-melted metal or change in the surface profile of any part of a weld or base metal resulting from an arc.
arc strike
A document providing the required welding variables for a specific application to assure repeat-ability by properly trained welders and welding operators.
welding procedure specification (WPS)
to qualify a WPS a ______ weld is done.
sample
A record of welding variables used to produce an acceptable test weldment and the results of test conducted on the weldment to qualify a welding procedure specification.
Welding procedure qualification record (PQR)
the PQR is ____ that your WPS produces an acceptable weld.
proof
a variable of the welding process that is deemed as important enough by a code committee to require proving. these variables of welding procedure must not change during production welding.
essential variable

fillet
What are the 2 types of fillet welds?
concave and convex
Filled welds can be measured by using a ____ set.
guage
___ welds are designed based on their cross-sectional area, which is calculated by the throat times the length.
fillet
_____ is measured from the surface of the base metal to the deepest point of the ____.
undercut.
_______ is measured from the top of the base metal to the top of the face of the weld.
face reinforcement
a magnetic flux is produced at _____ angles to the flow of current.

UT
When required by contract, CJP groove welds in compression or shear may be tested by either ____ or ___.
RT or UT
it is considered _____ when the reentrant angle (the angle at which the weld face meets the base metal at the weld toe) is greater than 90 degrees.
overlap
