Which of the following statements about welding is not true?
a weld can often be stronger than the base materials alone |
|
no filler metal is required when welding |
|
welding is done at higher temperatures than soldering |
|
electric-arc welding is safer than oxyacetylene welding |
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 saws would you use if you're cutting wood along the grain?
crosscut saw |
|
ripsaw |
|
back saw |
|
hacksaw |
The ripsaw delivers maximum efficiency at cutting with or along the grain (ripping).
What is a micrometer used for?
measuring length around corners |
|
ensuring that a surface is level |
|
transferring dimensions between objects |
|
measuring the diameter of cylindrical objects with high precision |
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.
Which of the following is not a type of electric-arc welding?
TIG |
|
MIG |
|
stick |
|
oxyacetylene |

This tool is a(n) __________.
vernier caliper |
|
inside caliper |
|
outside micrometer |
|
outside caliper |
Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects. An outside caliper is used to transfer outside dimensions while an inside caliper is used to transfer inside distances. A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.
