    1. Hydrogen cracking in HAZ is most likely to occur when welding:

    • Carbon manganese steels

    • Austenitic stainless steel

    • Micro alloyed steel (HSLA)

    • Low carbon steel

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbon manganese steels
    Explanation
    Hydrogen cracking in the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) is most likely to occur when welding carbon manganese steels. This is because carbon manganese steels have a higher susceptibility to hydrogen cracking compared to other types of steel. The presence of carbon and manganese in these steels creates a higher risk of hydrogen being absorbed into the material during the welding process. This hydrogen can then accumulate in the HAZ and lead to cracking, especially under high stress conditions. Austenitic stainless steel, micro alloyed steel (HSLA), and low carbon steel have lower susceptibility to hydrogen cracking compared to carbon manganese steels.

    1. Which of the following are considerations for selection of a preheat temperature:

    • Carbon equivalent, joint design, welding process type and plate material quality

    • All joint over 25mm thick, hydrogen levels, welding process, carbon equivalent

    • Arc energy, material thickness, hydrogen scale and carbon equivalent

    • All of the above are considerations for the selection of a preheat temperature

    Correct Answer
    A. Arc energy, material thickness, hydrogen scale and carbon equivalent
    Explanation
    All of the above are considerations for the selection of a preheat temperature. The preheat temperature is determined by factors such as the arc energy, material thickness, hydrogen scale, and carbon equivalent. These factors are important to consider as they can affect the quality and integrity of the weld joint. The arc energy refers to the heat input during the welding process, which can influence the preheat temperature required. Material thickness affects the rate of heat transfer and can determine the need for preheating. The hydrogen scale and carbon equivalent are indicators of the potential for hydrogen cracking and can influence the preheat temperature needed to prevent this issue.

    1. Which of the following destructive test would indicate the toughness value of the weld metal/parent metal and HAZ?

    • Macro

    • Nick break

    • Tensile

    • Charpy Vee notch

    Correct Answer
    A. Charpy Vee notch
    Explanation
    The Charpy Vee notch test is a destructive test that measures the impact toughness of a material, including the weld metal, parent metal, and heat-affected zone (HAZ). This test involves striking a notched specimen with a pendulum and measuring the energy absorbed during fracture. The higher the energy absorbed, the tougher the material. Therefore, the Charpy Vee notch test is used to determine the toughness value of the weld metal/parent metal and HAZ.

    1. What constituent is needed in the coating of an electrode to prevent the formation of porosity when welding rimming steel?

    • Iron powder

    • Potassium silicate

    • Silicon

    • Calcium carbonate

    Correct Answer
    A. Silicon
    Explanation
    Silicon is needed in the coating of an electrode to prevent the formation of porosity when welding rimming steel. Silicon acts as a deoxidizer, which means it removes oxygen from the weld pool. This is important because oxygen can cause the formation of porosity, which weakens the weld. By adding silicon to the coating, it helps to remove any oxygen present during the welding process, resulting in a stronger and more reliable weld.

    1. Welds made with high heat inputs show a reduction in one of the following properties?

    • Elongation

    • Toughness

    • Ductility

    • Penetration

    Correct Answer
    A. Toughness
    Explanation
    Welds made with high heat inputs show a reduction in toughness. When high heat inputs are used during welding, it can lead to the formation of coarse grains and the presence of residual stresses, which can decrease the toughness of the welded joint. Toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing, and a reduction in toughness can make the weld more susceptible to cracking or failure under stress. Therefore, high heat inputs can negatively affect the toughness of welds.

    1. Which of the following steel type would give rise to the formation of porosity when autogenously welded with an arc welding process?

    • A) Fully killed steel

    • B) Semi killed steel

    • C) Rimming steel

    • D) Balanced steel

    Correct Answer
    A. C) Rimming steel
    Explanation
    Rimming steel is a type of steel that has a high amount of carbon and low amounts of other elements. This composition leads to the formation of gas bubbles or porosity during the arc welding process. The high carbon content causes the steel to have a higher affinity for oxygen, which can result in the formation of gas pockets. This makes rimming steel more prone to porosity compared to other types of steel.

    1. Which of the following elements, which may be added to steel, has the greatest affect on creep strength?

    • Tungsten

    • Manganese

    • Carbon

    • Molybdenum

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbon
    Explanation
    Carbon has the greatest effect on creep strength when added to steel. Carbon is a strong carbide former and it forms carbides with iron, which helps to strengthen the steel. These carbides act as obstacles to dislocation movement, which increases the resistance of the steel to creep deformation. Additionally, carbon also improves the hardness and wear resistance of steel, making it an important alloying element in steel production.

    1. What for criteria are necessary to produce hydrogen induced cold cracking?

    • Hydrogen, moisture, martensitic grain structure and heat

    • Hydrogen, poor weld profiles, temperatures above 200° C and a slow cooling rate

    • Hydrogen, a grain structure susceptible to cracking, stress and a temperature below 200°C

    • Hydrogen, existing weld defects, stress and grain structure susceptible to cracking

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen, a grain structure susceptible to cracking, stress and a temperature below 200°C
    Explanation
    To produce hydrogen induced cold cracking, several criteria are necessary. Firstly, hydrogen must be present. Additionally, the material must have a grain structure that is susceptible to cracking. Stress is also required for the cracking to occur. Lastly, the temperature must be below 200°C. These conditions create an environment where hydrogen can cause cracks in the material, leading to hydrogen induced cold cracking.

    1. A carbon equivalent (EC) OF 0.5%:

    • Is high for carbon manganese steel and may require a preheat over 100°C

    • Is generally significant for carbon for manganese steels and is certainly not to be taken into consideration for preheat temperature

    • Is high for carbon manganese steels and my required a preheat temperature over 300°C as to avoid cracking

    • Is calculated from the heat input formula.

    Correct Answer
    A. Is high for carbon manganese steel and may require a preheat over 100°C
    Explanation
    A carbon equivalent (CE) of 0.5% indicates a high carbon content in carbon manganese steel. This high carbon content can lead to increased susceptibility to cracking during welding. Therefore, it may be necessary to preheat the steel to a temperature over 100°C in order to minimize the risk of cracking and ensure a successful weld.

    1. In the martensitic grain structure what would you expect to increase?

    • Ductility

    • Hardness

    • Toughness

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Hardness
    Explanation
    In the martensitic grain structure, hardness would be expected to increase. This is because the martensitic structure is characterized by a high level of hardness due to its unique arrangement of atoms. Martensite is formed through a rapid cooling process, which leads to the transformation of the crystal structure of the material. This transformation results in a hard and brittle microstructure, which increases the hardness of the material.

    1. In which of the following mechanical test would you expect to use a comparison for ductile to brittle transition curve.

    • Tensile test

    • Charpy test

    • Fusion zone test

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Charpy test
    Explanation
    In the Charpy test, a small specimen is subjected to an impact load to measure its resistance to fracture. This test is commonly used to determine the ductile to brittle transition temperature of a material. The transition temperature is the temperature at which a material changes from being ductile (able to deform plastically) to brittle (more prone to fracture). By comparing the results of Charpy tests at different temperatures, the ductile to brittle transition curve can be plotted, providing valuable information about the material's behavior under different conditions.

    1. Which of the following heat treatment on steel cools down in air from the austenite region?

    • Normalizing

    • Annealing

    • Tempering

    • Stress relieving

    Correct Answer
    A. Normalizing
    Explanation
    Normalizing is a heat treatment process in which steel is heated above the critical temperature and then allowed to cool in air. This process helps to refine the grain structure of the steel, improve its mechanical properties, and relieve internal stresses. Unlike other heat treatment processes like annealing, tempering, and stress relieving, normalizing involves cooling the steel in air from the austenite region, making it the correct answer.

    • D) Both a and b

    • E) All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. D) Both a and b
    Explanation
    The purpose of microscopic examination of a weld is to determine the number and type of defects present and to determine the grain size. By examining the weld under a microscope, any defects such as cracks, porosity, or inclusions can be identified and quantified. Additionally, the grain size can be measured, which can provide information about the strength and integrity of the weld. Therefore, both options a) and b) are correct.

    • B) Newton per square inches

    • C) Joules

    • D) Both a and b

    Correct Answer
    A. A) Pounds per square inch
    Explanation
    Tensile specimens are usually measured in pounds per square inch (psi). This unit is commonly used to measure the amount of force or stress applied to a material per unit area. It is a measure of the material's ability to withstand tension or stretching without breaking. Newton per square inch (N/in²) is not a commonly used unit for measuring tensile specimens. Joules (J) is a unit of energy and is not directly related to measuring tensile specimens. Therefore, the correct answer is a) Pounds per square inch.

    1. Assuming that the welding process, material thickness equivalent and the welding parameters to be the same which of the following joint types would normally require the highest preheat temperature?

    • Edge joint

    • Lap joint

    • Butt joint (single-V)

    • Tee joint (fillet welded)

    Correct Answer
    A. Tee joint (fillet welded)
    Explanation
    The tee joint (fillet welded) would normally require the highest preheat temperature because it involves welding a fillet weld at the intersection of two pieces of metal. The fillet weld requires more heat to ensure proper fusion and penetration between the two pieces of metal. In contrast, the edge joint, lap joint, and butt joint (single-V) typically have less surface area to be welded and therefore require lower preheat temperatures.

    1. Austenitic stainless steels are more susceptible to distortion when compared to ferritic steels this is because:

    • High coefficient, low thermal conductivity

    • High coefficient, High thermal conductivity

    • Low coefficient, High thermal conductivity

    • Low coefficient, low thermal conductivity

    Correct Answer
    A. High coefficient, low thermal conductivity
    Explanation
    Austenitic stainless steels have a high coefficient of thermal expansion, meaning they expand and contract more with changes in temperature. This, combined with their low thermal conductivity, makes them more susceptible to distortion. When heated or cooled, the uneven expansion and contraction of the steel can cause it to warp or deform. Additionally, the low thermal conductivity means that heat is not evenly distributed throughout the steel, further contributing to distortion.

    • An increase in electrode diameter

    • None of above

    Correct Answer
    A. An increase in travel speed
    Explanation
    An increase in travel speed will most likely require the preheat temperature to be increased because when the travel speed is increased, the welding process becomes faster and the heat input to the material decreases. To compensate for this decrease in heat input, the preheat temperature needs to be increased to ensure proper fusion and weld quality.

    • Narrow heat effected zone and hardness value in excess of 400HV

    • Broad heat effected zone and hardness value in excess of 400HV

    • A very tough and narrow heat affected zone

    • Narrow heat effected zone and low hardness values

    Correct Answer
    A. Narrow heat effected zone and hardness value in excess of 400HV
    Explanation
    A carbon steel weld (CE 048) welded without preheat may have a narrow heat affected zone and hardness value in excess of 400HV. This is because welding without preheat can result in rapid cooling of the weld zone, leading to a smaller heat affected zone. Additionally, the rapid cooling can also cause an increase in hardness, resulting in hardness values exceeding 400HV.

    • Ignore them

    • Have area checked for possible cracking

    • Cut out the entire weld where the arc strikes exist

    Correct Answer
    A. Have area checked for possible cracking
    Explanation
    If arc strikes were found on a component made of a high tensile strength material, it would be important to have the area checked for possible cracking. This is because arc strikes can cause localized heating and stress concentrations, which may lead to cracking in high tensile strength materials. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the area for any signs of cracking to ensure the integrity and safety of the component.

    1. A multi-pass MMA butt weld made on carbon steel consists of 5 passes deposited using a 6mm diameter electrode. A 12-pass weld made on the same joint deposited using 4mm diameter electrode on the same material will have:

    • A) A lower heat input and higher degree of grain refinement

    • B) A lower heat input and coarse grain structure

    • C) A low amount of distortion and higher degree of grain refinement

    • D) A higher amount of distortion and low degree of grain refinement

    Correct Answer
    A. A) A lower heat input and higher degree of grain refinement
    Explanation
    The answer is a) A lower heat input and higher degree of grain refinement. This is because a smaller electrode diameter (4mm) will result in a lower heat input compared to a larger electrode diameter (6mm). The lower heat input leads to less heat being transferred to the material, resulting in less distortion. Additionally, the smaller electrode diameter allows for a higher degree of grain refinement, as it provides better control over the welding process and allows for finer grain structure to be formed.

    1. Which of the following reasons for applying preheat?

    • The removal of residual stress

    • To aid slow cooling and reduce the carbon content

    • To reduce the chance of a brittle grain structure and to reduce the chance of hydrogen entrapment

    • Increase the ultimate tensile strength values and increase overall weldability

    Correct Answer
    A. To reduce the chance of a brittle grain structure and to reduce the chance of hydrogen entrapment
    Explanation
    Preheating is applied in welding to reduce the chance of a brittle grain structure and to reduce the chance of hydrogen entrapment. Preheating helps in reducing the cooling rate of the weld, which allows for slower solidification and reduces the likelihood of the formation of brittle grain structures. Additionally, preheating also helps in driving out moisture and reducing the presence of hydrogen, which can cause hydrogen embrittlement. By reducing the chance of a brittle grain structure and hydrogen entrapment, preheating improves the overall quality and integrity of the weld.

    A. Be reduced by 50%
    Explanation
    If the welding travel speed is doubled but the amps and volts remain the same, the heat input value will be reduced by 50%. This is because heat input is directly proportional to the welding travel speed. When the travel speed is doubled, the time for which the heat is applied is reduced by half, resulting in a decrease in the overall heat input. Therefore, the heat input will be reduced by 50% in this scenario.

    • Transformer / rectifier (constant voltage)

    • Transformer flat characteristic

    • Transformer / rectifier / inverter (constant current)

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Transformer / rectifier (constant voltage)
    Explanation
    A MIG/MAG welding plant typically consists of a transformer and rectifier that provide a constant voltage power supply. This type of welding plant is commonly used for MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding processes, where a continuous wire electrode is fed into the weld pool. The constant voltage power supply ensures a stable arc and allows for better control of the welding process.
