This study guide provides an extensive overview of welding safety, equipment, processes, and techniques. It covers the causes and treatment of burns, the importance of proper ventilation, and the hazards of fumes from metals such as lead, cadmium, and zinc. It explains key welding methods, including SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, and oxyacetylene welding, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and suitable applications. The guide also outlines electrical fundamentals related to welding, the role of shielding gases and fluxes, and the importance of proper electrode selection, joint preparation, and welding positions. Additionally, it emphasizes the use of personal protective equipment, workplace safety practices, and proper handling of welding machinery and materials to ensure optimal results and minimize hazards.

WELD101 – Comprehensive Welding Safety,
Processes, and Techniques
Burns can be caused by ultraviolet light rays. - True✅✅✅

To treat a third degree burn, apply ointments or antibiotic cream. - False✅✅✅

Any cold liquid you drink can be poured on a first or second degree burn. - True✅✅✅

Too much visible light can cause temporary night blindness. - True✅✅✅

Both earmuffs and earplugs protect the outer ear from burns. - False✅✅✅

Damage to your hearing caused by high sound levels is permanent and may not be detected
until later in life. - True✅✅✅

Welding and cutting lead-bearing alloys or metals whose surfaces have been painted with
lead-based paint can generate lead oxide fumes. - True✅✅✅

The welding area should be ventilated and forced ventilation is best, but natural ventilation is
sometimes required. - False✅✅✅

Scrap metal and electrode stubs are difficult and costly to recycle. - False✅✅✅

When using extension cords on portable power tools, the size of the conductors must be small
enough to enable a drop in voltage. - False✅✅✅

Burns ____. - have a high risk of infection because of the dead tissue✅✅✅

____ respirators are air-purifying respirators that use a blower to force the ambient air
through air-purifying elements to the inlet covering. - Powered air-purifying✅✅✅

The symptoms of lead poisoning include ____. - metallic taste, loss of appetite, nausea,
abdominal cramps, and insomnia✅✅✅

The symptom of acute exposure to high concentrations of cadmium fumes is ____. - lung
irritation✅✅✅

,The symptoms of exposure to zinc oxide fumes include ____. - influenza
symptoms✅✅✅

____ is a gas that is produced by the ultraviolet radiation in the air in the vicinity of welding
operations. - Ozone✅✅✅

____ is formed when ultraviolet radiation decomposes chlorinated hydrocarbon. -
Phosgene✅✅✅

Any system of ventilation should draw the fumes or smoke away before it rises past the level
of the welder's ____. - face✅✅✅

Stored oxygen and fuel gas cylinders ____. - must be separated by 20 feet✅✅✅

____ fire extinguishers are used for electrical fires. - Type C✅✅✅

A ____ is the symbol for a Type C fire extinguisher. - blue circle✅✅✅

____ fire extinguishers are used for combustible metals such as zinc and magnesium. - Type
D✅✅✅

If a nut or bolt is too tight to loosen with a wrench, ____. - use a longer wrench✅✅✅

To test a grinding stone for cracks ____. - tap the stone in four places and listen for a
ring✅✅✅

____ are usually either hydraulic or flywheel operated. - Power punches✅✅✅

The Industrial Revolution, from 1750 to 1850, introduced a method of joining pieces of iron
together known as forced welding. - False✅✅✅

Hammer welding preceded resistance welding. - True✅✅✅

Pressure and heat are both necessary to create a weld. - False✅✅✅

In some instances, pressure alone may be sufficient to force separate pieces of material to
combine and form one piece. - True✅✅✅

GTA welding is the cleanest of all the manual welding processes. - True✅✅✅

, Gas metal arc welding and flux cored arc welding are very different welding processes, but
they use very similar welding equipment. - True✅✅✅

The highest paid welders are those who have the education and skills to read blueprints and
do the required work to produce a weldment to strict specifications. - True✅✅✅

Generally seventeen months of training are required to learn to weld. - False✅✅✅

A formal apprenticeship is usually required to become a general welder. - False✅✅✅

3/4 inch equals 28 millimeters. - False✅✅✅

____ welding was introduced first. - Forge or hammer✅✅✅

____ welding is the most modern. - Fusion✅✅✅

____ is a type of welding. - Gas tungsten arc welding✅✅✅

Oxyacetylene welding is also referred to as ____. - gas welding or torch welding✅✅✅

An advantage of ____ welding is that a variety of metal types and metal thicknesses can be
joined with one machine. - shielded metal arc✅✅✅

Even though ____ welding is slower and requires a higher skill level as compared to other
manual welding processes, it is still in demand because it can be used to make extremely
high-quality welds in applications where weld integrity is critical. - GTA✅✅✅

____ welding can be used to weld metal ranging in thickness from thin-gauge sheet metal to
heavy plate by making only a few changes in the welding setup. - Gas metal arc✅✅✅

GMA and ____ welding are the first choice for many welding fabricators because these
processes are cost effective, produce high- quality welds, and are flexible and versatile. -
FCA✅✅✅

____ cutting uses a stiff, highly ionized, extremely hot column of gas to almost instantly
vaporize the metal being cut. - Plasma arc✅✅✅

In selecting the joining process, one consideration relates to the ____, such as whether the
weld will be used on a piece of furniture, or to repair a piece of equipment, or to join a
pipeline. - quality requirements✅✅✅
