Welding
Question | Answer |
---|---|
In Gas tungsten Arc (GTA) welding, a stream of inert gas is used to | Prevent the formation of oxides in the puddle |
Which statement best describes magnesium welding? | Filler rod should be the same composition as base metal |
Which statement best describes magnesium welding? | it can be welded successfully using the same type of joints that are used for aluminum. |
Which statement is true in regard to welding heat treated magnesium? | The welded section does not have the strength of the original metal |
the oxyacetylene flame for silver soldering should be | Neutral |
Why is it necessary to use flux in all silver soldering operations? | To chemically clean the base metal of oxide film. |
Engine mount members should preferably be repaired by using a | Larger diameter tube with fish mount and rosette welds |
What method of repair is recommended for a steel tube longeron dented at a cluster? | Welded patch plate |
Welding over brazed or soldered joints is | Not permitted |
Which statement concerning soldering is correct? | joints in electric wire to be soldered should be mechanically secure prior to soldering |
A resurfaced soldering iron cannot be used effectively until after the working face has been | Tinned |
Which of the following can normally be welded without adversely affecting strength? | 2 SAE 4130 chrome/molybdenum tubing |
in selecting a torch tip size to use in welding, the size of the tip opening determines the | Amount of heat applied to the work |
Why should a carburizing flame be avoided when welding steel? | it hardens the surface |
the most important considerations when selecting welding rod is | material compatibility |
When selecting a welding rod, one of the most important factors to consider is to ensure that | the proper AMS specification number is used |
the oxyacetylene flame used for aluminum welding should | Be neutral and soft |
A very thin and pointed tip on a soldering copper is undesirable because it will | Cool too rapidly |
Filling or grinding a weld bead is considered to be | A way to bring about strength reduction in joint |
Acetylene at a line pressure above 15 PSI is | Dangerously unstable |
Cylinders used to transport and store acetylene | Contain Acetone |
A welding torch backfire may be caused by | A loose tip |
Which statement concerning a welding process is true? | the inert-arc welding process uses an inert gas to protect the weld zone from the atmosphere. |
Where should the flux be applied when oxyacetylene welding aluminum? | painted on the surface to be welded and applied to the welding rod. |
What purpose does flux serve in welding aluminum? | Minimizes or prevents oxidation |
Why are aluminum plates 1/4 inch or more thick usually preheated before welding? | Reduces internal stresses and assures more complete penetration |
How should a welding torch flame be adjusted to weld stainless steel? | Slightly carburizing |
Oxides form very rapidly when alloys or metals are hot. it is important, therefore, when welding aluminum to use a | Flux |
in gas welding, the amount of heat applied to the material being welded is controlled by the | Size of the tip opening |
When welding or cutting, the acetylene pressure gauge should never be set higher than | 15 PSI |
Oxygen and acetylene cylinders are made of | Steel |
high pressure cylinders used to transport and store acetylene must | Contain acetone |
When a butt-welded joint is visually inspected for penetration, | 100 percent of the thickness of the base metal |
Annealing of the aluminum | Removes stresses caused by forming |
Edge notching is generally recommended in butt welding above a certain thickness of aluminum because it | Aids in getting full penetration of the metal and prevents local distortion |
If too much acetylene is used in the welding of stainless steel, | The metal will absorb carbon and lose its resistance to corrosion |
the shielding gases generally used in the Gas tungsten Arc (GTA) welding of aluminum consist of | Helium or Argon, or a mixture of helium and argon |
