| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What method of repair is recommended for a steel tube longeron dented at the clusters? | Welded patch plate |
| when welding or cutting, the acetylene pressure guage should never be set higher than | 15 PSI |
| which statement concerning a welding process is true? | the iner-arc welding process uses an inert gas to protect the weld zone from the atmosphere |
| cylinders used to transport and store acetylene | contain acetone |
| why should a carburizing flame be avoided when welding steel? | it hardens the surface. |
| when selecting a welding rod, one if the most important factors to consider is to ensure that | the proper AMS number is used. |
| a welding torch backfire may be caused by | a loose tip |
| which statement best describes magnesium welding? | filler rod should be the same composition as the base metal |
| engine mount members should preferably be repaired by using a | larger diameter tube with fishmout and rosetter welds. |
| why are aluminum plates 1/4 inch or more thick usually preheated before welding? | reduces internal stresses and assures more complete penetration |
| the oxyacetylene flame used for aluminum welding should | be neutral and soft |
| 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 |
| which of the following can normally be welded without adversly affecting strenght? | SAE 4130 Chrome/molybdenum tubing |
| which statement best describes magnesium welding? | it can be welded succesfully using the same type of joints that are used for aluminum |
| A very thin and pointed tip on a soldering copper is undesirable because it will | cool too rapidly |
| what purpose does flux serve in welding aluminm | minimizes or prevents oxidation |
| oxygen and acetylene cylinders are made of | steel |
| why is it necessary to use flux in all silver soldering operations? | to chemically clean the base metal of oxide film |
| 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 |
| the shielding gasses generally used in the Gas Tungsten Arc (GTA) welding process consist of | helium or argon, or a mixture of both |
| 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 | flux |
| 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 |
| the oxyacetylene flame for silver soldering should be | neutral |
| filing or grinding a weld bead is considered to be | a way to bring about the strenght reduction in the joint. (bad) |
| which statement is true in regard to welding heat-treated magnesium | the welded section does not have the strenght of the original metal. |
| 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 |
| annealing of aluminum | removes stresses caused by forming. |
| which statement concerning soldering is correct? | joints in electric wire to be soldered should be mechnically secure prior to soldering |
| in gas welding, the amount of heat applied to the material being welded is controlled by the | size of the tip opening |
| the most important consideration(s) when selecting welding rod is | Material compatibility |
| when a butt-weld joint is visually inspected for penetration, the penetration should be | 100 percent the thickness of the base metal |
| where should the flux be applied when oxyacetylene welding aluminum | painted on the surface to be welded and applied to the welding rod. |
| high pressure cylinders used to transport and store acetylene must | contain acetone |
