Which of the following transfer methods associated with GMAW is characterized by a highly directed stream of discrete drops that are accelerated by arc forces, and negligible spatter?

  1. Pulsed droplet transfer
  2. Short circuiting transfer
  3. Globular transfer
  4. Spray transfer

Answer(s): D



Hot tapping and in-service welding should be carried out only with:

  1. Steels that have a carbon equivalent below 0.30.
  2. Cellulosic-type electrodes to reduce penetration.
  3. Low-hydrogen consumables and electrodes.
  4. Low-hydrogen root pass and cellulosic weld out.

Answer(s): C



API Recommended Practice 2201 primarily covers the:

  1. WPS/PQR aspects of in-service welding.
  2. Technical aspects of hot tapping.
  3. Safety aspects of in-service welding.
  4. Weldability aspects of in-service welding.

Answer(s): C



As a result of welding, metals with a high coefficient of thermal expansion are:

  1. More susceptible to distortion during welding.
  2. Less susceptible to cracking during welding.
  3. More susceptible to brittle fracture.
  4. Less susceptible to brittle fracture.

Answer(s): A



General awareness of metallurgy is important to the welding inspector because:

  1. Welding processes can affect both mechanical and corrosion properties of a weldment.
  2. The crystalline structure of base metals affects the resulting structure of the weld.
  3. Physical properties of the final weldment can be significantly affected by preheat and postweld heat treatment (PWHT).
  4. A thorough knowledge of weld metal structures is necessary to understand weldability.

Answer(s): A
