Question: The AWS classes metal cored wire along with - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔solid wires
Question: SAW Fluxes that significantly influence the composition of the weld metal through
slag/metal reactions are called - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔active
Question: Resistance welding of aluminum - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Can be done but with
greater difficulty due to its low resistivity
Question: The plasma arc welding process is similar to what other welding process in principles
of operation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔GTAW

CORRECT ANSWER✔✔15 degree travel angle using push technique should be used
Question: What is the effect of tip to work distance (electrical sickout on deposition rate of
submerged are welding - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔decreasing tip to work distance without
adjusting any other variable will cause a increase in deposition rate
