QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS ||
ALREADY GRADED A++
ACFM
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The alternating current field
measurement (ACFM) method is an electromagnetic inspection
technique which can be
used to detect and size surface breaking (or in some cases near
surface) defects in both magnetic and non-magnetic
materials.
actual throat
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The shortest distance between the
weld root and the face of a fillet weld.
air carbon arc cutting
CAC-A
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A carbon arc cutting process
variation that removes molten metal with a jet of air.
arc blow
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The deflection of an arc from its
normal path because of magnetic forces.

arc length
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The distance from the tip of the
welding electrode to the adjacent surface of the weld pool.
arc strike
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A discontinuity resulting from an arc,
consisting of any localized remelted metal, heat-affected
metal, or change in the
surface profile of any metal object.
arc welding
AW
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A group of welding processes that
produces coalescence of work pieces by heating them with an
arc. The processes
are used with or without the application of pressure and with or
without filler metal.
autogenous weld
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A fusion weld made without filler
metal.
back-gouging
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The removal of weld metal and base
metal from the weld root side of a welded joint to facilitate
complete fusion and

, API
complete joint penetration upon subsequent welding from that
side.
Backing
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A material or device placed against
the back-side of the joint, or at both sides of a weld in welding,
to support and
retain molten weld metal.
base metal
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The metal to be welded, often called
parent metal.
bevel angle
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The angle between the bevel of a
joint member and a plane perpendicular to the surface of the
member.
burn-through
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A term for excessive visible root
reinforcement in a joint welded from one side or a hole
through the root bead.
buttering - CORRECT ANSWERS - One or more layers of
deposited weld metal on the face of a weld preparation or
surface that will be part of a welded
joint.
