welding processes
This welding process uses a consumable electrode and a shielding gas.
d Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), also known as Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding
What should be done if a welding fire or small blaze occurs during welding?
Use a fire extinguisher appropriate for metal fires, or smother the fire with a welding blanket or sand.
This welding tool is used to ignite the welding arc and is commonly found in stick welding.
Welding electrode holder or stinger
In welding, this material is used to protect the molten weld pool from atmospheric contamination.
What is a welding flux or shielding gas?
What do the perpendicular lines in a welding symbol represent?
What are contour or edge symbols, indicating the joint's shape?
Which welding process is known for its versatility and can be used with a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel?
Tungsten Inert Gas
To protect your eyes while welding, you should wear these.
welding goggles and welding helmet?
This piece of welding equipment is used to regulate the flow of shielding gas in GMAW (MIG) or GTAW (TIG) welding.
Gas regulator or flowmeter
What is the primary metal used in gas welding and cutting operations, as it supports combustion when combined with oxygen?
What is acetylene?
This symbol is used to represent a groove weld in a welding symbol. What does it look like?
What is a straight line with an arrow pointing to one side, often labeled with the weld type and size?
This welding process involves melting the edges of two workpieces and adding a filler material to create a strong joint.
Oxy-fuel welding
Why is it essential to have good ventilation in a welding workspace?
To remove welding fumes and gases, which can be harmful if inhaled, and to ensure a safe working environment.
This piece of welding equipment is used to regulate the flow of shielding gas in GMAW (MIG) or GTAW (TIG) welding.
Voltmeter
This common welding material is known for its excellent electrical conductivity and is often used in electrical applications.
What is copper?
In welding symbols, what does a circle indicate when placed at the intersection of reference lines?
What is the location of a hole or plug weld?
In which welding process is a flux used to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination, making it suitable for outdoor applications and rusty materials?
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), or stick welding,
What type of clothing should a welder wear to protect themselves from sparks and UV radiation?
Flame-resistant or flame-retardant clothing, including a welding jacket and pants, and leather welding gloves.
What is the name of the device used to clean and prepare the surface of a metal workpiece before welding?
Wire brush or grinder
This alloy is commonly used in TIG welding for its high strength and corrosion resistance.
What is stainless steel?
What does a tail on a welding symbol typically indicate?
What is the additional information or supplementary instructions related to the weld?
What welding process relies on a beam of high-energy electrons to join materials and is often used in applications requiring deep penetration and precision?
Electron Beam Welding (EBW)
What safety equipment should be worn to protect the hands and forearms during welding?
Welding gloves and welding sleeves
In Tungsten Inert Gas welding, this component is used to hold the non-consumable tungsten electrode and control the welding arc.
TIG torch or TIG welding torch
In submerged arc welding , this material is added to the welding flux to improve the mechanical properties of the weld.
What is ferroalloy or ferromanganese?
This welding symbol indicates a fillet weld.
What is a triangle symbol?
