Welding

The practice of uniting metal parts by heating or compression is called

• plumbing

• welding

• transforming

• direct current

The metal to be joined or welded together is classified as the

• standard metal

• tack metal

• base metal

• bead

The discharge of electricity through an air space is called the

• arc

• gap

• amperage

• electrode

Flux coated metal welding rods are referred to as

• flux

• beads

• electrodes

• sticks

The external material on electrodes that remove impurities form the base metal is called

• a shield

• flux

• slag

• paste

The layer formed on top of the weld caused by the flux and impurities of the base metal floating to the top is called

• flux

• bead

• puddle

• slag

A small weld to hold base metals together temporarily is called a/an

• tack weld

• bead

• temporary work load

• negative weld

The molten part of the weld where the heat is being applied is called the

• bead

• current

• flame

• puddle

The metal that is deposited by the electrode, welding wire or filler rod during the welding process is called the

• bead

• base metal

• filler metal

• hot metal

The maximum pull in pounds per square inch that a weld can withstand in referred to as

• auxiliary strength

• psi

• compression strength

• tensile strength
