Q

What is one downfall of Tee welds?

A

Uses lots of weld material.

Weld joints with the least amount of material should be considered as it keeps cost down.

Q

What does the number 3 mean?

A

vertical position

18
Q

When are edge joints used?

A

For sheet metal

19
Q

The flow of electricity is called… and measured in….

A

Called Current and measured in Amperes

Amps = strength of current

20
Q

What happens when wires opposes flow of current?

A

Resistance happens

21
Q

Electrical utility companies distribute AC at what rate?

A

60 cycles / second

22
Q

What is Frequency?

A

The speed at which AC changes direction

23
Q

What is the definition of Cycle?

A

It is one complete revolution of the AC generator

24
Q

True or False: three-phase power are more compact / produce a smoother arc than single phase power.

A

True

25
Q

DC = the electron flow is in one direction only. Depending how the circuit is connected, the current flow can be made to affect the heat of the electrode or workpiece…

A

DC electrode negative = concentrates heat in the workplace

DC electrode positive = concentrate heat in the electrode

26
Q

What is Buzz Box

A

The sound of an AC transformer type weld machine

27
Q

What type of transformer is the most portable?

A

AC

28
Q

What is arc voltage

A

When voltage drops after the circuit is closed (completed)

Use of conductor to completed a path of an electrical current.

29
Q

What are the 2 types of electrodes?

A

Consumable: is consumed during welding

Non-consumable: is not consumed during welding

30
Q

What should you know before you pick flux?

A

Know the chemical of coating

31
Q

Why is it called Shielded Metal Arc Welding? (SMAW)

A

As the chemical in the electrode coating are vapourized, they provide the shielding required to product the molten metal from contamination by the atmosphere

32
Q

Why is the connection bn welding cable / holder a vulnerable point?

A

Because it is constantly being flexed during welding operations.

33
Q

What happens if the connection bn welding cable and holder is loose?

A

It will increase electrical resistance and cause additional heat that can wear down insulation.

34
Q

What is the name of the coating that forms on the top of an arc weld?

A

Slag

35
Q

What is the purpose of Slag?

A

To prevent weld from cooling too quickly

36
Q

What job does the paper wrapping around the electrode cable provide?

A

Allows the conductor to move easily inside the insulation when it is bent.

(conductor is covered by insulator)

37
Q

What impact test does Izod Charpy provide?

A

A welds impact strength

38
Q

What does the CSA measure?

A

Tensile strength in Megapascals
