Institutional Assessment in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

Name: __________________________

Date: ________________

Identification: Write the answer in the space provided after each of the following
questions.

1. It is a process which melts and joins metals by heating them with an arc between
a coated metal electrode and the work piece.
________________________
2. It is a type of groove joint welds prevents butt joint distortion by tack welding the
materials in position before final weld.
________________________
3. It ensures that the current remains relatively constant, even if the arc distance
and voltage change.
________________________
4. It is an electrical current that has alternating negative and positive values.
________________________
5. Commonly called a stinger or a clamping device for holding the electrode
securely in any position.
________________________
6. The path taken by an electrical current flowing through a conductor from one
terminal of the source to the load and returning to the other terminal of the
source.
________________________
7. Welding machines operate on single phase input power.
________________________
8. These machines operate on three phase input power.
________________________
9. Welding system uses a heavy duty, high current and relatively high voltage
power source which feeds a number of individual operator welding stations.
________________________
10. These are usually located on the front panel of the welding machine.
________________________
11. It connects the power source to the electrode holder and to the work.
________________________
12. Provides both the filler metal and the shielding for the shielded metal arc welding
process.
________________________
13. The process of applying a layer of special composition metal onto the surface of
another type of metal for the purpose of reducing wear.
________________________
14. A process of cutting, piercing, or gouging metal by heating it to a molten state
and then using compressed air to blow away the molten metal.
________________________
15. It is concerned with the chemical, physical, and atomic properties and structures
of metals and the principles by which metals are combined to form alloys.
______________________
16. Are generally those that have low carbon content and are most readily weldable.
______________________
17. These are those with alloy contents of 6% or less. These steels are in the low-
carbon range, generally up to .15%, and are readily weldable.
______________________
18. In this position, the work is less tiring, welding speed is faster, the molten puddle
is not as likely to run, and you can achieve better penetration.
______________________
19. This process aids in relieving built-up stresses and preventing surface cracking in
the joint area; however, peening should be done with care because excess
hammering can work harden and increase stresses in the weld.
______________________
20. A weld applied to a vertical surface or inclined 45 degrees or less.
