Q

What happens if the slag is not
removed between the passes?

A

It invariably leads to the slag being
trapped between the passes.

16
Q

List some nondestructive inspection methods.

A

a. Liquid penetrant
b. Magnetic particle
c. Radiographic
d. Ultrasonic
e. Visual inspection

17
Q

What type of discontinuities can be detected with the liquid penetrant inspection method?

A

Discontinuities, such as surface cracks
and porosity, that are open to the surface
of the material.

18
Q

What type of discontinuities
can be detected with the magnetic particle
inspection method?

A

Discontinuities such as cracks, porosity,
slag inclusions, and incomplete fusion in
magnetic mate rials, that are open to or just
below the surface.

19
Q

Give some causes of incomplete fusion.

A

a. Poor joint design
b. Incorrect size and type of electrode
c. Incorrect voltage and current settings
d. Electrode manipulation
e. Welding on contaminated material

20
Q

Why is it important to have proper fitup of a joint?

A

To reduce the amount of welding that
is required and, therefore, control the cost of
production. Good fit-up will also reduce the
possibility of having certain defects in the weld.

21
Q

List some destructive testing methods.

A

a. Tensile test
b. Bend test
c. Impact test

22
Q

Which discontinuity is considered to be the most serious?

A

A crack is considered to be the most serious defect. It takes very little energy to keep a crack growth until, eventually, the product fails.

23
Q

List some of the problems that can
arise from an arc strike.

A

a. A hardened area at point of contact.
b. Cracking can occur in area of arc strike.

24
Q

Which of the following can cause a
thick or highly restrained plate to crack
when it is welded?
a. inadequate preheat temperature
b. inadequate postheat temperature
c. proper sequence of welding
d. low restrained welds

A

a. inadequate preheat temperature

25
Q

Welds cannot be properly inspected if the slag
is not removed.
a. true
b. false

A

b. false

26
Q

When welding materials prone to hydrogen
cracking visual inspection of the joint should b
repeated. When should this happen?
a. 2 hours
b. 2 days
c. 2 weeks
d. 2 months

A

b. 2 days

27
Q

Which of the following defects can be detected
by the liquid penetrant inspection method?
a. internal undercut
b. incomplete penetration
c. defects that are open to the surface
d. incomplete fusion (internal)

A

c. defects that are open to the surface

28
Q

Which of the following are causes of
incomplete fusion?
a. wrong tungsten electrode
b. excessive shield gas flow
c. low welding current
d. air cooled welding guns

A

c. low welding current

29
Q

Which of the following are destructive
testing methods?
a. (b) and (c)
b. tensile test
c. impact test
d. magnetic particle test

A

a. (b) and (c)
b. tensile test
c. impact test

30
Q

Which is the most serious welding defect?
a. porosity
b. slag inclusion
c. overlap
d. crack

A

d. crack

31
Q

Which of the following are as a result
of an arc strike?
a. brittle area of contact
b. possible cracks in area of contact
c. incomplete penetration
d. (a) and (b)

A

d. (a) and (b)
a. brittle area of contact
b. possible cracks in area of contact

32
Q

Which defects cannot be detected by the
radiographic inspection method?
a. porosity
b. very tight cracks and defects which
do not have any depth in relation to
the x-ray beam
c. slag inclusions
d. incomplete penetration

A

b. very tight cracks and defects which
do not have any depth in relation to
the x-ray beam

33
Q

What corrective action should be taken if the
weld has overlap?
a. reweld with high heat input
b. reduce by removal of excess weld metal
c. weld over to the next size of weld
d. remove the complete weld and reweld at higher welding speeds

A

b. reduce by removal of excess weld metal

34
Q

Which of the following can be classified as a
visual defect?
a. incomplete penetration
b. surface porosity
c. internal undercut
d. incomplete sidewall fusion

A

b. surface porosity
