Which of the following statements about welding is not true?
electric-arc welding is safer than oxyacetylene welding |
|
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 |
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.
You need to loosen a bolt in a hard to reach location. Which of the following wrenches would best suit this task?
box-end |
|
spanner |
|
adjustable |
|
open-end |
Wrenches are used to provide grip and mechanical advantage by applying torque to turn objects (or to keep them from turning). The longer the wrench, the more torque that can be applied. Wrench ends are available in two primary types, open-end and box-end. A box-end wrench encloses the bolt head and is useful when more torque is needed or to maintain contact in difficult to reach locations. An open-end wrench is designed for speedily loosening easier to reach fasteners. Wrenches that feature one open and one box end are called combination wrenches and adjustable wrenches feature an open end with an adjustable width.
A welding rod provides:
stability for the welding torch |
|
fuel for the welding torch |
|
the joining material for a weld |
|
protection for the welder |
The joining material for a weld is called a welding or filler rod and is available in a variety of diameters and alloys for different welding tasks.
Which of the following is the primary difference between pliers and pincers?
pincers squeeze, pliers cut or pull |
|
pincers are designed for large objects, pliers are designed for small objects |
|
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.
An arc-welder creates heat using:
natural gas |
|
oxyacetylene |
|
high voltage electricity |
|
propane |
