    In GMAW, insufficient gas flow can cause?

    • Undercut

    • Overlap

    • Porosity

    • Hydrogen cracking

    Correct Answer
    A. Porosity
    Explanation
    Insufficient gas flow in GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) can cause porosity. Porosity refers to the presence of small gas pockets or voids in the weld metal, which weakens the weld and reduces its integrity. When there is not enough shielding gas flowing over the weld pool, it fails to protect the molten metal from atmospheric contamination. This leads to the entrapment of gases, such as oxygen and nitrogen, in the weld, resulting in porosity.

    Federal regulation requires that hazardous information about a product be provided to all users of that product. The form used to provide this information is called a(n)

    • Information Form (IF)

    • Hazardous Information Sheet (HIS)

    • Occupational Safety and Hazard Form (OSHF)

    • Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

    Correct Answer
    A. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
    Explanation
    Federal regulation requires that hazardous information about a product be provided to all users of that product. The form used to provide this information is called a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). This document contains detailed information about the potential hazards of a product, including its chemical composition, physical properties, and proper handling procedures. It is important for users to have access to this information in order to safely handle and use hazardous products. The other options, such as Information Form (IF), Hazardous Information Sheet (HIS), and Occupational Safety and Hazard Form (OSHF), do not accurately describe the specific form required by federal regulation.

    When using GTAW to weld Aluminum with Alternating Current (AC), the tip of the tungsten electrode should be

    • Tapered

    • Tapered with the end slightly blunted

    • Rounded at the tip

    • Ground at right angles to the grain of the electrode

    Correct Answer
    A. Rounded at the tip
    Explanation
    When using GTAW to weld Aluminum with Alternating Current (AC), the tip of the tungsten electrode should be rounded at the tip. This is because a rounded tip helps to produce a stable and focused arc, which is important for achieving a high-quality weld. The rounded tip also helps to prevent the electrode from sticking to the workpiece and allows for better control of the weld puddle.
