Q

Brazing sheet metal requires a filler material made from what?

17
Q

What are the purposes of fluxes in braze welding?

A

Clean the oxides
Protect the weld

18
Q

List the two types of joints used for braze welding?

A

Butt joint
Lap joint

19
Q

Oxy acetylene and plasma cutting do not actually cut the metal the metal separates due to?

A

Oxidization of the metal

20
Q

The oxygen torch valve on the handle of a cutting/ welding outfit should be opened how much for cutting?

21
Q

What does a plasma arc use to create heat necessary for cutting?

A

Electric energy

22
Q

What is a backfire?

A

The flame backs up into the tip and re-establishes itself with a bang or pop

23
Q

What is burnback?

A

This is when combustion takes place steadily in the tip and mixer and since the mixture of gases is too lean for proper combustion, black smoke, red sparks and a screeching sound can occur

24
Q

What is a flashback?

A

This is when one gas may back up into the other line forming an explosive mixture and resulting in an explosion

25
What materials are suitable for cutting with an oxyacetylene torch?
Ferrous metals such as steel
26
What materials are not suitable for cutting with an oxyacetlene torch?
Non ferrous metals such as copper, brass, bronze, aluminum
27
What are three main types of cutting torches?
- Combination welding and cutting - heavy duty hand cutting torch - machine torches
28
What does a plasma torch use to cut through metal?
A plasma arc cutter uses compressed gas and electricity to produce a finely focused super heated plasma flow that can cut through metal
29
What is a reasonable tip diameter of a welding tip?
1/8 plus two metal thickness of the gauge of metal being used
30
How is one way to test your spot weld quality?
On a test piece or scrap pieces
31
What is the first step for a complete shutdown of an oxyacetylene torch?
Close the oxygen cylinder valve first
32
Iron and steels oxidize slowly in moist air to form?
The oxide known as rust
