An arc-welder creates heat using:
high voltage electricity |
|
natural gas |
|
oxyacetylene |
|
propane |
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 statements about welding is not true?
welding is done at higher temperatures than soldering |
|
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 |

A welding rod provides:
the joining material for a weld |
|
fuel for the welding torch |
|
protection for the welder |
|
stability 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?
stick |
|
MIG |
|
oxyacetylene |
|
TIG |

Which of the following statements about solding is not true?
solder has a comparatively low melting point |
|
solder is an alloy of lead and tin |
|
flux is used to clean surfaces before soldering |
|
soldering can only join metals |
Soldering is a process by which two or more items (typically metal) are joined together by melting a filler metal (solder) into the joint. An electrically powered soldering iron or soldering gun is used to melt the solder which is an alloy of lead and tin that has a melting point below the melting point of the items being joined. A chemical cleaning agent called flux is also used to clean the surfaces before soldering.
