3.3 Make a Fillet Weld

One method of striking an arc is scratching.what is another method ? (SMAW)

• Tapping

• Hammering

• Lifting

• Toucing

Which DOES NOT determine weld quality?

• Electrode

• Travel speed

• length of arc

• Amperage

When SMAW vertical welding on 1/4inch or thicker metal,what direction is recommended?

• Upward direction

• Downward direction

• Left or right

• Right to left

When welding in overhead position, what arc length is used ?

• Short

• Any length

• Medium

• Long

What action should be taken if the puddle becomes to hot while welding ?

• Decrease amperage

• Adjust angle of the electrode

• Change the electrode

• Increase amperage

After striking the SWAW arc, what is the appropriate arc length?

• Diameter of the rod

• 2 times the diameter of the rod

• 1/4 the diameter of the rod

• 1/2+the diameter of the rod

What is the region of the base metal adjacent to the weld metal and affected by transformation temperatures?

• Heat affected zone (HAZ)

• Effective throat

• Kindling point

• Melting point

Which method is used to slow down the cooling rate of the base metal to reduce residual stress?

• Pre-heat/post- heat

• Shorter arc length

• Faster travel speed

• Decrease in amperage

When using the GTAW process, a fast travel speed will cause what condition ?

• Narrow beads

• Cracking

• Porosity

• Wide beads
