SAW

1. SAW power source can be

A. Constant current above 1000 amps
B. Constant current below 1000 amps
C. Constant voltage above 1000 amps
D. Constant voltage below 1000 amps
E. Both B & D above
F. Both A & D above
2. Which of the following power source is uses self-regulating arc
A. Constant voltage for SAW
B. Constant current for SAW
C. Power source for MIG/MAG
D. Both A & C above
E. Both B & C above
3. Constant voltage power source of SAW --A. Wire feed speed controls the current and power supply controls the voltage
B. Arc voltage depends upon wire feed speed whilst the power source controls the
current
C. Both A & B are correct
D. Both A & B are false
4. Increase in arc voltage causes
A. Arc gap increases, produce flatter & wider bead, decreases flux consumption, tend
to increase porosity, may help to bridging excessive root gap & increase pick up of
alloys from flux
B. Arc gap increases, produce flatter & wider bead, increase flux consumption, tend to
reduce porosity, may help to bridging excessive root gap & increase pick up of
alloys from flux.
C. Arc gap increases, produce narrow & deep bead, increase flux consumption, tend to
reduce porosity, may help to bridging excessive root gap & decrease pick up of
alloys from flux
D. Arc gap decreases, produce flatter & wider bead, increase flux consumption, tend to
reduce porosity, may help to bridging excessive root gap & increase pick up of
alloys from flux
5. Excessive high voltage in SAW may cause
A. a hat-shaped bead & tendency to crack
B. increase undercut & make slag removal difficult in groove welds
C. produce a concave fillet weld that is subject to cracking
D. All of above
E. Only A & B above

6. Travel speed increased of SAW by keeping other parameters constant , what will be
effect
A. increase heat input & less filler metal applied per unit of length, less excess weld
metal & weld bead becomes smaller
B. decrease heat input & less filler metal applied per unit of length, less excess weld
metal & weld bead becomes smaller
C. decrease heat input & more filler metal applied per unit of length, less excess weld
metal & weld bead becomes smaller
D. decrease heat input & less filler metal applied per unit of length, more excess weld
metal & weld bead becomes smaller
7. If electrode size is decreased by keeping current constant what will effect
A. Electrode have lower current density & higher deposition rate
B. Electrode have higher current density & higher deposition rate
C. Electrode have lower current density & lower deposition rate
D. Electrode have higher current density & low deposition rate
8. If electrode extension is increased by keeping other welding parameters constant what
will effect
A. Resistive heating effect will be more, increase in deposition rate & decrease in
penetration
B. Resistive heating effect will be less, increase in deposition rate & decrease in
penetration
C. Resistive heating effect will be more, decrease in deposition rate & increase in
penetration
D. None of the above
9. If flux depth of SAW is too thick then
A. the arc is too confined, result is a rough ropelike appearing weld
B. gases cannot escape & the surface of molten weld metal becomes irregularly
distorted
C. flashing and spattering will occur, give a poor appearance and porous weld
D. All of above
E. Only A & B above
10. What is effect of trailing arc on butt welds of plate
A. Penetration shallow, excess weld metal minimum & tendency to undercutminimum
B. Penetration deep, excess weld metal maximum & tendency to undercut- severe
C. Penetration moderate, excess weld metal moderate & tendency to undercutmoderate
D. None of above
