1.

Name the three principle types of welding.: Gas welding, electric arc welding, and electric resistance welding What are some advantages of gas shielded arc Welding?: The weld is stronger, more ductile, and more corrosion resistant Which method of welding is less likely to cause buckling or warping of thin metal sheets?: Electric arc - or TIG welding

20.

What technique might be used to enable a tight fitting inner sleeve to be inserted into a tubular repair?: The inner tube could be chilled with dry ice or in a freezer while the outer tube could be heated with a torch

2.

3.

4.

What is the purpose of shielding an arc weld with an inert gas?: The gas prevents atmospheric oxygen and or nitrogen from contaminating the weld

5.

What is the common method of controlling expansion when welding a joint?: Place tack welds along the length of the joint

6.

What is the effect of inadequate penetration on a weld?: The weld will be weak What is the purpose of the flux used with brazing and silver soldering?: The flux cleans the base metal b removing any oxide film

7.

8.

What type of flame is used when torch brazing or silver soldering?: A neutral flame What must be done to a soldering iron tip to increase the amount of heat transferred from the tip to the work?: The tip must be clean of all contaminates and properly tinned

9.

10.

What is the preferred method for welding aluminum?: Tungsten Inert Gas Wleding - TIG What is the preferred method of welding magnesium?: Tungsten Inert gas - TIG - welding What precautions must be observed in order to weld titanium?: All traces of oxygen and nitrogen must be kept away from the weld area

11.

12.

13.

Describe one type of repair that could be made to a dented steel tube cluster joint.: A formed steel patch plate could be welded over the damaged area

14.

How can a sot flame be obtained without reducing the heat output of the torch?: Use a larger tip and adjust the gas pressure accordingly

15.

What factors determine the amount of heat delivered by a gas welding torch?: The size of the torch tip and the gas pressure

16.

When an oxyacetylene torch is extinguished, which valve is turned off first?: Turn off the acetylene gas valve first When a gas welding project is completed, what safety precautions should be accomplished?: All the valves are turned off and the gas pressures are relieved

17.

18.

What should be done to a heat-treated aluminum part after welded repairs are completed?: The part must be reheat treated

19.

Welding magnesium can create a serious safety hazard. What is the nature of this hazard?: Magnesium burns with a very hot flame that is very hard t extinguish
