Y
1. You see a welder using on oxy acetylene flame with a long feathered inner
cone. What would be the effect of this on a carbon steel :
The weld could be hard and brittle

2. You are to oversee the arc welding of some machined fittings and find that
they are cadmium plated what would you do in this situation ?
Stop the operation at once

3. You notice a very “ veed “ ripple shape. This is most likely caused by :
Excessive travel speed

4. You notice manual metal arc electrodes, stripped of flux, are being used as
filler wire, for TIG welding. You would object because :
The weld metal composition may be wrong ?

5. You would with certainly recognise a hydrogen controllet Flux carred

electrode from its :
AWS / BS 639 code letter?
