In producing a drawing for a scale of 1:20, what would the distance represented by a distance on the drawing of 6 inches be:
-
120 feet
-
12 inches
-
12 feet
-
120 inches
Correct Answer
A. 120 inchesExplanation
In a scale of 1:20, it means that every inch on the drawing represents 20 inches in real life. Therefore, if a distance of 6 inches is represented on the drawing, the actual distance it represents would be 6 inches multiplied by 20, which equals 120 inches.Rate this question:

The best form of distortion control when placing fillet welds on a long T-joint is:
-
Rigid clamping
-
Welding sequence
-
Sub assembly
-
Prebending or setting
Correct Answer
A. Welding sequenceExplanation
The correct answer is "Welding sequence." When placing fillet welds on a long T-joint, the welding sequence refers to the order in which the welds are made. This is important because it helps to minimize distortion and warping of the joint. By starting at one end and gradually moving towards the other end, the heat input is evenly distributed, allowing for better control of the welding process and reducing the chances of distortion.Rate this question:

If the current is a flow of electrons they move in what direction:
-
From positive to negative
-
From negative to positive
-
They alternate each half cycle
-
They flow on positive side of neutral line
Correct Answer
A. From negative to positiveExplanation
The flow of electrons in a current is from negative to positive. This is because electrons, which carry a negative charge, are attracted to the positive terminal of a power source. Therefore, they move towards the positive terminal, creating an electric current. This is the opposite direction of conventional current, which assumes the flow of positive charges from positive to negative.Rate this question:

That portion of the joint to be welded where the members are closest to each other is termed:
-
Root edge
-
Root face
-
Root gap
-
Root opening

The type of gas formed by the interaction of ultraviolet light, emitted from the arc, with the oxygen in the air is:
-
Phosgene
-
Carbon Monixide
-
Ozone
-
Carbon Dioxide
Correct Answer
A. OzoneExplanation
Ultraviolet light emitted from the arc can interact with oxygen in the air to form ozone. Ozone is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms, and it is formed when oxygen molecules (O2) are broken apart by the energy from the ultraviolet light. The resulting oxygen atoms (O) can then react with other oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3). Ozone is an important component of the Earth's atmosphere, as it helps to absorb harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.Rate this question:

If a worker is standing next to two machines, each producing a noise level of 95 dBA, what noise level is the worker exposed to:
-
92 dBA
-
95 dBA
-
98 dBA
-
190 dBA
Correct Answer
A. 98 dBAExplanation
When a person is exposed to multiple noise sources, the combined noise level is not simply the sum of the individual levels. Instead, you use the formula for combining decibel levels in different conditions:
L_total = L₁ + 10 * log₁₀(N)
where:
L_total is the total noise level,
L₁ is the higher of the two individual noise levels, and
N is the number of noise sources.
In this case, with two machines producing a noise level of 95 dBA each, the total noise level (L_total) would be:
L_total = 95 + 10 * log₁₀(2)
L_total ≈ 95 + 3 ≈ 98 dBA
Therefore, the worker would be exposed to approximately 98 dBA of noise.Rate this question:

Ohm's law is:
-
R = V x I
-
I = R x V
-
R = I/V
-
R = V/I
Correct Answer
A. R = V/IExplanation
Ohm's law states that the resistance (R) in a circuit is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the current (I). This means that the resistance is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the current. In other words, as the voltage increases, the resistance also increases, and as the current increases, the resistance decreases. Therefore, the correct answer is R = V/I.Rate this question:

A capped steel is similar to:
-
Rimmed steel
-
Semi-killed steel
-
Killed steel
-
None of the above
Correct Answer

The proportion of parent metal melted into the weld is known as:
-
Buttering
-
Tranfser
-
Dilution
-
Solidification rate
Correct Answer
A. DilutionExplanation
Dilution refers to the proportion of parent metal that is melted into the weld. When welding, the parent metal and the filler metal are melted together to create the weld. The amount of parent metal that mixes with the filler metal determines the level of dilution. This is an important factor to consider as it can affect the properties of the weld, such as its strength and corrosion resistance. Therefore, dilution is a key parameter in welding processes.Rate this question:

A shunt generator is:
-
Separately excited
-
Self-excited
-
Nonexcitable
-
Brushless
Correct Answer
A. Self-excitedExplanation
A shunt generator is a type of DC generator that is self-excited, meaning it generates its own magnetic field without the need for an external source of excitation. In a shunt generator, the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding, hence the name "shunt." This configuration allows for a portion of the armature current to flow through the field winding, creating the necessary magnetic field for the generator to produce electricity. Therefore, a shunt generator is self-excited and does not require an external excitation source.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. SaturationExplanation
Saturation refers to the point at which the magnetic field cannot increase any further, even with an increase in current.

The ductility measured through the thickness of the plate is usually:
-
The highest of all
-
The lowest of all
-
The same as in any direction
-
About 80% of longitudinal direction
Correct Answer
A. The lowest of allExplanation
The correct answer is "The lowest of all." Ductility refers to the ability of a material to deform under tensile stress without breaking. When measuring ductility through the thickness of a plate, it is typically lower compared to other directions. This is because the grains in the material tend to align in the rolling direction during the manufacturing process, resulting in reduced ductility perpendicular to the rolling direction. Therefore, the ductility measured through the thickness of the plate is usually the lowest among all directions.Rate this question:

What type of cracking may be caused by excessive welding speeds:
-
Cold cracking
-
Lamellar tearing
-
Hydrogen cracking
-
Solidification cracking along the centre line
Correct Answer
A. Solidification cracking along the centre lineExplanation
Excessive welding speeds can cause solidification cracking along the center line. This type of cracking occurs due to the rapid cooling of the weld metal, which leads to the formation of cracks along the center line of the weld. The high welding speeds prevent proper fusion and solidification of the weld metal, resulting in the formation of these cracks. It is important to maintain appropriate welding speeds to prevent solidification cracking and ensure the integrity of the weld joint.Rate this question:

A. 16-22Explanation
The voltage range for short circuit transfer is 16-22. Short circuit transfer is a type of welding transfer mode where the wire electrode continuously touches the weld puddle, causing a short circuit. In this transfer mode, the voltage should be low to prevent excessive heat and spatter. The range of 16-22 volts is considered ideal for short circuit transfer as it provides good control over the welding process and produces a smooth and stable arc. Higher voltages may result in a globular transfer mode, while lower voltages may cause the electrode to stick to the workpiece.Rate this question:
