Welding Flashcards
1
Q
- What type of weld joint must be used to weld magnesium?
A
Butt welds
2
Q
- Why must all flux be removed from the metal after welding magnesium?
A
Flex left will cause severe corrosion
3
Q
- What must be done to successfully weld titanium?
A
Inert gas shield work zone
(Inert gas Helium or Argon)
4
Q
- What is gas shielded arc welding?
A
Gas covers the weld to protect from atmosphere
5
Q
- What are the advantages of gas shielded arc welding?
A
Stronger weld, more ductile, corrosion resistant weld
6
Q
- What shielding gasses are used for gas tungsten arc (TIG) welding?
A
Helium or Argon
7
Q
- What determines the amount of hear that will be applied to the work when welding by the oxyacetylene method?
A
Torch tips orifice size or diameter
8
Q
- What is meant by a soft flame?
A
torch flame is adjusted to make no noise & doesn’t push the weld
9
Q
- When gas welding, what should be turned off first?
A
“A” before “O”
Acetylene before oxygen
10
Q
- What will be the result of using a torch tip that is too large or too small.
A
Too large - heat will be too great
Too small - heat wont penetrate
11
Q
- What is the function of flux when used in soldering?
A
Flux erodes corrosion from surface and creates strong bond
12
Q
- Why must acid core solder never be used on electrical wire?
A
Acid flux causes severe corrosion to the wire
13
Q
- What is the advantages of gas shielded arc welding over gas welding?
A
Less buckling & warping
14
Q
- What is brazing?
A
Material bonding process that uses non ferrous metal (lower temp) to join metal
15
Q
- What is one method of controlling expansion when welding a joint?
A
Tack weld at intervals along the joint
