Which of the following statements about welding is not true?
welding is done at higher temperatures than soldering |
|
no filler metal is required when welding |
|
electric-arc welding is safer than oxyacetylene welding |
|
a weld can often be stronger than the base materials alone |
Welding is a high-temperature process that involves melting the base metals in the objects to be joined to fuse them together. A filler metal is used to provide additional material to make up a joint that, depending on the weld type, can be stronger than the base materials alone. Oxyacetylene welding is a welding process that uses a torch fueled with oxygen and acetylene gases. Electric-arc welding utlizes electric current in a safer welding process (it doesn't involve burning explosive gases) that enables a wide variety of specialized applications like stick, MIG (metal inert gas), and TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding.
Which of the following nuts provide appendages that allow tightening and loosening by hand?
wing |
|
cotter |
|
slotted |
|
lock |
Wrenches are used with threaded fasteners like bolts and nuts. A bolt has external threads while a nut has internal threads and this thread pattern combination allows them to lock together and act as fasteners. Nuts come in a variety of configurations including wing nuts which provide appendages that allow tightening and loosening by hand, slotted nuts that use a cotter pin to lock the nut in place and prevent it from loosening, and lock nuts that also prevent loosening via nylon in their threads. Threads are identified by pitch which is the number of threads per inch.
These tools are called:
planes |
|
files |
|
rasps |
|
chisels |
Wood chisels are used to shape or smooth wood surfaces. They come in a variety of widths and can be used with hand power or tapped with a mallet when deeper cuts need to be made.
Which of the following is the primary difference between pliers and pincers?
pincers are designed for large objects, pliers are designed for small objects |
|
pincers squeeze, pliers cut or pull |
|
pliers squeeze, pincers cut or pull |
|
pliers are designed for large objects, pincers are designed for small objects |
Pincers provide a mechanical advantage that's used to cut, pinch or pull an object. The force applied to pincers is concentrated to a point or to an edge of the tool which allows pincers to be brought very close to a surface. Pincers are typically used for removing objects from a material to which they've previously been applied, for example, to pull nails from wood.
Which of the following would provide the most accurate measure of the diameter of a solid cylinder?
inside micrometer |
|
tape measure |
|
outside micrometer |
|
ruler |
Micrometers provide accuracy to the thousandths of an inch and come in outside and inside varieties. An outside micrometer is used to measure outside thickness, such as the diameter of a bolt, while an inside micrometer is used to measure the inside dimension of an object, such as the diameter of the hole of a nut or the width of a channel.
