a. Undercut.

b. Porosity.
c. Tungsten inclusions.
d. Linear misalignment.

Argon purging on the root side is necessary in the TIG welding of stainless steel to:
a. Obtain full penetration.
b. Obtain full fusion.
c. Avoid porosity in the root.
d. Obtain a satisfactory weld surface finish.

When TIG welding austenitic stainless steel pipe, argon gas backing is called for. This is to:
a. Prevent oxidation
b. Prevent underbead cracking
c. Prevent porosity
d. Control the penetration bead shape

MIG

MIG welding tends to be susceptible to lack of fusion problems. This is because of:
a. Poor maintenance of equipment
b. Incorrect settings
c. Poor inter-run cleaning
d. All the above

A common gas mixture used in MIG welding nickel alloys, to combine good levels of
penetration with good arc stability would be:
a. 100% CO2
b. 100% argon
c. 80% argon and 20% CO2
d. 98% argon and 2% oxygen

When referring to MIG welding, the shielding gas would be:

a. Argon.
b. Argon + 1% oxygen.
c. Argon + 20% carbon dioxide.
d. None of the above.

Submerge

Submerged arc utilises:

a. Deep penetration characteristic.
b. High deposition rates on DC+.
c. Flat (PA) welding only.
