Weld types

What is a weld type?

• A type of metal used in a weld

• A type of machine used

• The cross-sectional shape of the weld.

• A type of electrode used

When determining weld type, why do you want to minimize edge preparation?

• To reduce the amount of heat required
• To make the welding process faster
• Reduce cutting and machine cost

• To improve the aesthetic appearance of the weld

When determining weld type, why do you want to provide access to the joint?

• To ensure proper fusion of the base metals and enough room for machines

• To make the joint look more aesthetically pleasing
• To increase the weight of the joint
• To make the joint more expensive

When determining weld type, why do you want to minimize filler metal used in welding?

• To make the welding process faster
• To reduce the weight of the final product
• To save costs
• To increase the strength of the weld

When determining weld type, why do you want to reduce excess heat in a weld?

• To prevent metallurgical of the weld

• To increase the heat in the weld
• To make the weld look shiny
• To make the welding process faster

When determining weld type, why do you size the weld for the thinnest joint member?

• To ensure the weld is going to turn out good looking

• Because it's easier to weld thinner materials
• To save on welding materials
• To prevent overheating and ensuring the weld doesn't exceed the strength of the thinnest member

What is a fillet weld?

• A type of weld that is used to join two surfaces at right angles to each other
• A type of weld that is used to join two surfaces at acute angles to each other
• A type of weld that is used to join two surfaces at obtuse angles to each other
• A type of weld that is used to join two surfaces at parallel to each other

What is a groove weld?

• A weld that is used to connect two pieces of metal at a right angle
• A weld that is used to connect two pieces of metal along a groove
• A weld that is used to connect two pieces of metal at a curved angle
• A weld that is used to connect two pieces of metal at a straight line

What is the difference between a single-groove weld and a double-groove weld?

• A single-groove weld has one groove, while a double-groove weld has two

• A single-groove weld is stronger than a double-groove weld
• A single-groove weld is used for thicker materials, while a double-groove weld is used for thinner materials
• A single-groove weld requires more filler material than a double-groove weld

What is a plug weld?

• A weld made by connecting two pieces of metal through a hole
• A weld made by melting the surface of a metal
• A weld made by using a special plug
• A weld made by using a high-temperature flame
