Must be constructed of material such as titanium or corrosion resistant steel
C. 
May be constructed of any of the metals commonly used in aircraft fasteners.
2.
Hole filling fasteners (for example, MS20470 rivets) should not be used in composite structures primarily because of the
A. 
Possibility of causing delamination
B. 
Difficulty in forming a proper shop head.
C. 
Increased possibility of fretting corrosion in the fastener

May be repaired by gluing replacement skin to the inner core material with thermoplastic resin
B. 
Has a high strength to weight ratio.
C. 
Is lighter than single sheet skin of the same strength and is more corrosion resistant
4.
(1) When performing a ring (coin tap) test on composite structures, a change in sound may be due to damage or to transition to a different internal structure.(2) The extent of separation damage in composite structures is most accurately measured by a ring (coin tap) test.
A. 
B. 
C. 
Both No.1 and No.2 are true
5.
Which of these methods may be used to inspect fiberglass/ honeycomb structures for entrapped water?1. Acoustic emission monitoring2. X-ray3. Backlighting
6.
One of the best ways to assure that a properly prepared batch of matrix resin has been achieved is to
A. 
Perform a chemical composition analysis
B. 
Have mixed enough for a test sample
C. 
Test the viscosity of the resin immediately after mixing
7.
Composite inspections conducted by means of acoustic emission monitoring
A. 
Pick up the "noise" of corrosion or other deterioration occurring
B. 
Create sonogram pictures of the areas being inspected
C. 
Analyze ultrasonic signals transmitted into the parts being inspected

What precaution, if any, should be taken to prevent corrosion inside a repaired metal honeycomb structure?
A. 
Prime the repair with a corrosion inhibitor and seal from the atmosphere
B. 
Paint the outside area with several coats of exterior paint
C. 
None. Honeycomb is usually made from a man made or fibrous material which is not susceptible to corrosion.

Proper pre-preg composite lay-up curing is generally accomplished by
- applying external heat
- room temperature exposure
- adding a catalyst or curing agent to the resin
- applying pressure

B. 
Add an extra amount of catalyst to the resin
C. 
Use short strips of fiberglass in the bonded repair
