CSWIP 3.1: Question with Answer and

Explanation – Part 9

Date: October 24, 2017 Author: Thanh ( QC ) Nguyen Le 1 Comment

1) When measuring arc voltage, where should the measuring …

a. Across the terminals of the power source

b. Across the arc and as near as practical to the arc
Across the power source positive terminal and earth
c.
cable
d. It does not matter – anywhere in the circuit
The voltmeter may be connected only across the circuit (to the workpiece and as
close as possible to the electrode!)
The ammeter may be connected at any point in the circuit.

2) Which of the following is NOT a fusion welding process?

a. ( answer ) Friction welding

 b. Gas tungsten arc welding
c. Resistance welding
d. Laser welding
Rotary friction welding is a solid-state joining process
Welding is regarded as a joining process in which the work pieces are in atomic
contact.
Weld is A permanent union between materials caused by heat, and or
pressure (BS499)
Friction welding:

3) What is the maximum OCV allowable to initiate an arc when using AC current?

a. 1000V
b. 10V
c. ( answer ) 90V
d. 900V
4) Why is the OCV capped at this voltage setting?

a. To save electricity
b. To prevent exploding of the consumable
c. Allow smooth transition into welding voltage range
d. ( answer ) To reduce the risk of fatality
See previous question!

The prevention of electrical shock from welding equipment relies on three major

principles.

5) A typical minimum OCV requirements for MMA (111) using filler rutile
electrode …

a. 40V
b. 120V
c. 100V
d. ( answer ) 50V
6) A typical minimum OCV requirements for MMA (111) using basic electrode
would be:

a. ( answer ) 70V
b. 40V
c. 100V
d. 20V

7) Heat input can be altered from the original procedure according to EN1011, …

a. +10%
 b. +20%
c.  (answer ) +25%
d. +30%

8) A butt weld has been made by MMA in a 50mm thick impact tested steel plate.
The welding electrode used was a basic type, 5mm diameter. The measured
welding parameters for one of the runs was 220 amps, 21 volts, using DC+ve
polarity, and a ROL of 270mm per min. What would be the arc energy?

Insufficient information given to calculate the arc

a.
energy
b. 1.54kJ/mm
c. ( answer ) 1.026kJ/mm
d. 2.82kJ/mm
HI = (220*21) / ( 270/60*1000) = 1.026kJ/mm

Pls note for: what is ROL & Travel speed in MMA?

9) A butt weld has been made by MMA in a 50mm thick impact tested steel plate.
The welding electrode use was a basic type, 5mm diameter. The measured welding
parameters for one of the runs was 250 amps, 24 volts, using DC+ve polarity, and a
ROL of 180mm per min. What would be the Arc energy?

Insufficient information given to calculate the arc

a.
energy
b. 1.9kJ/mm
c. 1.87kJ/mm
d. ( answer ) 2.0kJ/mm
HI = (250*24) / ( 180/60*1000) = 2.0kJ/mm

10) When using DC+ve polarity, what is the typical OCV?

a. 10-40V
b. ( answer ) 50-90V
c. 100-140V
d. 200-240V
