5 Welding
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which of the following can normally be welded without adversely affecting strength? | SAE 4130 chrome/molybdenum tubing. |
| Filing or grinding a weld bead is considered to be | a way to bring about strength reduction in joint. |
| Welding over brazed or soldered joints is | not permitted. |
| A resurfaced soldering iron cannot be used effectively until after the working face has been | tinned |
| High pressure cylinders used to transport and store acetylene must | contain acetone. |
| Which statement best describes magnesium welding? | It can be welded successfully using the same type of joints that are used for aluminum. |
| Oxygen and acetylene cylinders are made of | steel. |
| Which statement best describes magnesium welding? | Filler rod should be the same composition as base metal. |
| What method of repair is recommended for a steel tube longeron dented at a cluster? | Welded patch plate. |
| Annealing of aluminum | removes stresses caused by forming. |
| When welding or cutting, the acetylene pressure gauge should never be set higher than | 15 psi. |
| Why are aluminum plates 1/4 inch or more thick usually preheated before welding? | Reduces internal stresses and assures more complete penetration. |
| 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. |
| A very thin and pointed tip on a soldering copper is undesirable because it will | cool too rapidly. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| When selecting a welding rod, one of the most important factors to consider is to ensure that | the proper AMS number is used. |
| How should a welding torch flame be adjusted to weld stainless steel? | Slightly carburizing. |
| Cylinders used to transport and store acetylene | contain acetone. |
| Where should the flux be applied when oxyacetylene welding aluminum? | Painted on the surface to be welded and applied to the welding rod. |
| In gas welding, the amount of heat applied to the material being welded is controlled by the | size of the tip opening. |
| Engine mount members should preferably be repaired by using a | larger diameter tube with fishmouth and rosette welds. |
| Oxides form very rapidly when alloys or metals are hot. It is important, therefore, when welding aluminum to use a | flux. |
| A welding torch backfire may be caused by | a loose tip. |
| Why is it necessary to use flux in all silver soldering operations? | To chemically clean the base metal of oxide film. |
| Which statement is true in regard to welding heat-treated magnesium? | The welded section does not have the strength of the original metal. |
| 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. |
| Acetylene at a line pressure above 15 psi is | dangerously unstable. |
| In Gas Tungsten Arc (GTA) welding, a stream of inert gas is used to | prevent the formation of oxides in the puddle. |
| If too much acetylene is used in the welding of stainless steel, | the metal will absorb carbon and lose its resistance to corrosion. |
| What purpose does flux serve in welding aluminum? | Minimizes or prevents oxidation. |
| The oxyacetylene flame used for aluminum welding should | be neutral and soft. |
| Which statement concerning soldering is correct? | Joints in electric wire to be soldered should be mechanically secure prior to soldering. |
| The most important consideration(s) when selecting welding rod is | material compatibility. |
| Why should a carburizing flame be avoided when welding steel? | It hardens the surface. |
| When a butt-welded joint is visually inspected for penetration, the penetration should be | 100 percent of the thickness of the base metal. |
| The oxyacetylene flame for silver soldering should be | neutral. |
