Question 1
In the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) spray transfer mode, how is metal transferred from the electrode to the weld pool?
Correct Answer:
As a fine stream of tiny droplets propelled axially across the arc without short-circuiting
Question 2
Which shielding gas is REQUIRED for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG) of most metals to protect the tungsten electrode?
Correct Answer:
An inert gas such as argon or helium
Question 3
A welding power source described as having a 'constant current' (drooping) static characteristic is most appropriate for which process?
Correct Answer:
Manual metal arc welding (MMA/SMAW)
Question 4
In submerged arc welding (SAW), what is the primary function of the granular flux?
Correct Answer:
To provide arc shielding, slag protection and metallurgical refinement while concealing the arc
Question 5
Why is direct current electrode positive (DCEP / reverse polarity) generally preferred for manual metal arc welding with most coated electrodes?
Correct Answer:
It produces a cleaning action and good penetration with deeper fusion into the workpiece
