E7018-H4R is a filler metal that refers to what welding process? 

What is SMAW

100

A reducing oxyfuel gas flame in which there is an excess of fuel gas

What is a "Carburizing Flame"

100

This mode of metal transfer can be used to make out of position welds

What is "Short Circuit"

100


This welding process is known as? 

What is GTAW

100
This discontinuity is characterized as being a hole in the weld 

What is Porosity

200

PAC is an acronym for this thermal process

What is "Plasma Arc Cutting" 

200

A chemical cleaning and purifying agent used to help remove oxides and improve weld quality

What is Flux


200

This determines the direction of electron flow in a welding circuit

What is "Polarity"

200

This Entity creates codes and standards for welding practices

What is "The American Welding Society" 

200

This discontinuity is created by the removal of base metal without the addition of weld metal

What is Undercut

300

This welding process was invented in the late 1940's and sees widespread use in manufacturing

What is GMAW

300

The metal or alloy being welded, brazed, soldered, cut, or coated.

What is Base Metal

300

This can be thought of as the force driving the energy in a welding circuit

What is "Voltage"

300

This welding position is known as? 

What is 2G

300

This discontinuity is characterized by extra weld metal in a groove joint

What is Excessive Reinforcement

400

This modified short circuit waveform was patented in 2006 and is used to help with fusion related issues

What is "Surface Tension Transfer" 

400

A gas heated by an arc to at least a partially ionized condition, enabling it to conduct an electric current.

What is Plasma

400

This material has a protective layer that inhibits it's weldability

What is "Aluminum"

400

This part is used in what welding process?

What is GMAW or FCAW

400

This Discontinuity occurs when a groove joint is not filled to the height of the base metal

What is Underfill

500

This welding process was invented in the early 19th century and has seen widespread use for tasks in more extreme environments

What is SMAW

500

The growing together, or growth into one body, of the materials being joined

What is Coalescence

500

This welding process can either braze or weld depending on the technique and filler metal

What is GTAW

500

This part is found inside of a GMAW lead

What is the "Liner"

500

This discontinuity is present in a groove weld when the material is not joined properly on the backside

What is "Lack of Fusion"
