Fundamentals of Welding Quiz

True/False
Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

The area to be welded does not need to be considered as far as cleanliness and preparation.
 

 2. 

The fourth number in the coding system of a welding rod ( 6013 )will tell you the chemical analysis of the flux, polarity and the penetrating capacity of the rod.
 

 3. 

After you have welded a bead you can tell that your travel speed was too fast by looking at the bead and observing that the bead will be narrow and the ripples will be pointed.
 

Multiple Choice
Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
 

 4. 

Electrodes are classified according to what three characteristics?
a.
Amperage range, penetration and polarity
b.
Type of coating, composition of weld metal and operating characteristics
c.
Type of coating, amperage range and thickness off the rod
d.
Operating characteristics, range of polarity and composition of weld metal
 

 5. 

Which coding system uses color to determine the rod?
a.
American Society for Testing Metals
b.
American Welding Society
c.
The Metal Testing Association of America
d.
National Electrical Manufacturers Association
 

 6. 

The first two numbers in the ID of a welding rod ( 6013 )tells you what information
a.
amperage setting
c.
tensile strength
b.
polarity
d.
none of the above are correct
 

 7. 

The third number in the coding system of a welding rod ( 6013 )is giving you what information?
a.
the position the rod can be used in
c.
the travel speed of the rod
b.
the polarity setting
d.
a and c are correct
 

 8. 

How is the size of the electrode determined?
a.
the total diameter of the rod
c.
the size is stamped on each rod
b.
the diameter of the bare end of the rod
d.
none of the answers are correct
 

Matching
 
 
a.
travel speed too slow
e.
arc length too long
b.
amperage setting to low
f.
E6012
c.
arc length too close
g.
correct electrode angle
d.
E6010
h.
amperage setting too high
 

 9. 

The metal will pile up and the bead will be high and wide with the ripple being strait.
 

 10. 

the electrode melts too fast and the molten pool is large and irregular
 

 11. 

the bead will be wide, spattered and irregular with poor fusion
 

 12. 

a rod used to weld mild steel that has deep penetration and rapid solidification
 

 13. 

there is not enough heat to melt the base metal and the molten pool will be small, will pile up and look irregular.
 

 14. 

45 degrees in the direction of travel
 

 15. 

a rod that has a medium penetration
 

 16. 

the rod will easily and often stick and you will also embed slag into the bead.
