AWS CWI EXAM Questions and Answers
100% Solved
The material may be partially fused or remain infused during welding and may be either metal or
nonmetal.
Backing Weld Correct Answ_Backing in the form of a weld, made before the primary weld.
Backstep Sequence Correct Answ_A longitudinal sequence in which weld passes are made in
the direction opposite to the progression of welding.
Bevel Correct Answ_An angular edge shape.
Bevel Angle Correct Answ_The angle between the bevel of a joint member and a plane
perpendicular to the surface of the member. This dimension equals one half of the groove or
included angle when the edges of both members are prepared at the same angle. When only one
member is prepared at an angle, this dimension is still indicated in the same position on the
welding symbol for groove angle, but equals the total degree of preparation of the groove.
,Bevel Groove Weld Correct Answ_A type of groove weld in which the mating members of
the joint have one single-bevel or double-bevel edge and one square edge preparation.
Block Sequence Correct Answ_A combined longitudinal and cross sectional sequence for a
continuous multiple pass weld in which separated increments are completely or partially welded
before intervening increments are welded.
Boxing Correct Answ_The continuation of a fillet weld around a corner of a member as an
extension of the principle weld
Buildup Correct Answ_A surfacing variation in which surfacing material is deposited to
achieve the required dimensions.
Butt Joint Correct Answ_A joint between 2 members aligned approximately in the same
plane.
Buttering Correct Answ_A surfacing variation that deposits surfacing metal on one or more
surfaces to provide metallurgically compatible weld metal for the subsequent completion of the
weld.
,Butting Member Correct Answ_A joint member that is prevented, by the other member, from
movement in one direction perpendicular to its thickness dimension. For example, both members
of a butt joint, or one member or a T-joint or corner joint.
Cascade Sequence Correct Answ_A combined longitudinal and cross sectional sequence in
which weld passes are made in overlapping layers.
Chain Intermittent Fillet Weld Correct Answ_An intermittent weld on both sides of a joint in
which the weld increments on one side are approximately opposite those on the other side.
Cladding Correct Answ_A surfacing variation that deposits or applies surfacing material
usually to improve corrosion or heat resistance.
Complete Joint Penetration Correct Answ_A joint root condition in a groove weld in which
weld metal extends completely through the joint thickness.
Concave Fillet Weld Correct Answ_A fillet weld having a concave face.
, Concavity Correct Answ_The maximum distance from the face of a concave fillet weld
perpendicular to a line joining the weld toes
Convex Fillet Weld Correct Answ_A fillet weld having a convex face.
Convexity Correct Answ_The maximum distance from the face of a convex fillet weld
perpendicular to a line joining the weld toes.
Corner Joint Correct Answ_A joint between 2 members located approximately at right angles
to each other in the form of an 'L'.
Depth of Groove Correct Answ_The perpendicular distance from the base metal surface to
the root edge or the beginning of the root face.
Depth of Fusion Correct Answ_The distance that fusion extends into the base metal or
previous bead from the surface melted during welding.
Edge Joint Correct Answ_A joint between the edges of 2 or more parallel or nearly parallel
members.
