Which of the following is used in metal work for shaping metal?
mallet |
|
ball peen hammer |
|
rivet hammer |
|
claw hammer |
Ball peen hammers are most commonly used in automotive repair. They have rounded heads and are used to drive punches and chisels.
Which of the following would be used to make a drilling guide mark in a sheet of metal?
screwdriver |
|
chisel |
|
pin punch |

Which of the following types of saws would you use if you needed to cut the wood quickly and weren't concerned with leaving rough edges?
crosscut saw |
|
coping saw |
|
hacksaw |
|
rip saw |
Wood saws are categorized primarily by their teeth. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.
A welding rod provides:
stability for the welding torch |
|
protection for the welder |
|
the joining material for a weld |
|
fuel for the welding torch |
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 not a type of electric-arc welding?
TIG |
|
stick |
|
MIG |
|
oxyacetylene |
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.
