What is the possible effect of having heat input too low during welding?
- A.
Low toughness,entrapped hydrogen and low hardness
- B.
High hardness,lack of fusion and entrapped hydrogen
- C.
Entrapped hydrogen ,low toughness and high ductility
- D.
Lack of fusion ,low toughness and reduction in ductility
Correct Answer
B. High hardness,lack of fusion and entrapped hydrogenExplanation
Having a heat input that is too low during welding can lead to high hardness, lack of fusion, and entrapped hydrogen. High hardness occurs because the low heat input does not allow for proper heat treatment of the weld metal, resulting in a harder and more brittle weld. Lack of fusion refers to the incomplete bonding between the base metal and the weld metal, leading to weak joints. Finally, entrapped hydrogen occurs when the low heat input does not provide enough energy to release the hydrogen gas that is produced during the welding process, resulting in hydrogen being trapped within the weld and causing potential cracking and porosity.Rate this question:

When considering thermal cutting local hardening can be reduced by:
- A.
Increasing the cutting speed
- B.
The use propane as a fuel gas
- C.
Pre heating the material to be cut
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Pre heating the material to be cutExplanation
Preheating the material to be cut reduces local hardening when considering thermal cutting. This is because preheating raises the temperature of the material, making it more ductile and less prone to hardening during the cutting process. By increasing the material's temperature, it becomes easier to cut and reduces the risk of hardening, resulting in a smoother and more efficient cutting process. Increasing the cutting speed and using propane as a fuel gas may have their own benefits but they do not directly address the issue of local hardening.Rate this question:

When considering the MIG/MAG welding process which of the following metal transfer modes would be the best suited to the welding of thick plates over 25mm, flat welding position:
- A.
Dip transfer
- B.
Pulse transfer
- C.
Spray transfer
- D.
Globular transfer
Correct Answer
C. Spray transferExplanation
Spray transfer is the best suited metal transfer mode for welding thick plates over 25mm in the flat welding position. Spray transfer is characterized by a high current and voltage, which results in a stable and controlled arc. This mode produces a fine, steady stream of small droplets that transfer across the arc to the weld pool. The high energy and velocity of these droplets allow for deep penetration and efficient fusion of the thick plates. Additionally, the spray transfer mode provides good control over the weld pool and minimizes spatter, resulting in high-quality welds.Rate this question:

- B.
DC+ve
- C.
AC
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. ACExplanation
AC (alternating current) is the correct answer for the welding of aluminium with the TIG welding process. TIG welding requires a high-frequency alternating current to generate the heat needed for the welding process. AC current allows for better control of the heat input and helps prevent overheating or distortion of the aluminium material. DC-ve and DC+ve currents are not typically used for TIG welding aluminium as they do not provide the necessary heat control and can result in poor weld quality.Rate this question:

When considering hydrogen,which of the following welding process would produce the lowest levels in the completed weld (under controlled conditions)?
- A.
MMA
- B.
SAW
- C.
TIG
- D.
FCAW
Correct Answer
C. TIGExplanation
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process would produce the lowest levels of hydrogen in the completed weld under controlled conditions. TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create the arc and a shielding gas, usually argon, to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. This process provides excellent control over the welding parameters, resulting in a high-quality weld with minimal hydrogen content. MMA (Manual Metal Arc), SAW (Submerged Arc Welding), and FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) processes may introduce higher levels of hydrogen due to the presence of flux or consumable electrodes.Rate this question:

C. The electrodes classification code on stamped on to the electrodeExplanation
The best way to identify hydrogen controlled electrodes for the MMA welding process is by looking at the electrodes classification code stamped onto the electrode. This code provides specific information about the type and characteristics of the electrode, including whether it is hydrogen controlled. The colour of the flux covering, the electrodes classification code on the box, and the electrode trade/manufacturers name may also provide some information, but the classification code stamped onto the electrode itself is the most reliable and accurate method of identification.Rate this question:
