Testing Principles
A weld metal discontinuity caused when the welder fails to completely fill the weld
groove is called - ✔️✔️underfill.
When welding with the SMAW process, slag inclusions can be caused by improper
cleaning between weld beads. - ✔️✔️true
The base material next to the weld that is not melted, but that undergoes structural
and metallurgical changes is called the - ✔️✔️Heat Affected Zone.
Which of the following is not a type of weld joint? - ✔️✔️Fillet
The portion of the joint where the two pieces to be joined come closest together is
called the - ✔️✔️joint root.
A weld produced by filling an elongated hole in an overlapping member, fusing it to
the member beneath is called a - ✔️✔️slot weld.
A weld having a triangular cross section which is applied to a T-joint, corner joint or
lap joint is called a - ✔️✔️fillet weld.
A weld used to build up thin surfaces and to provide a layer of corrosion protection
and/or abrasion-resistance is called a(n) - ✔️✔️surfacing weld.
The height of a weld above the base metal in a groove weld is the - ✔️✔️weld
reinforcement.
A(n) ______ fillet weld has the same leg and size dimensions. - ✔️✔️equal leg
A weld formed by progressing along the joint with a side-to-side motion is called a -
✔️✔️weave bead.
The problem occurring in weldments due to the non-uniform heating produced by
welding is called - ✔️✔️slag inclusion.
The most common type of destructive testing of welds is called - ✔️✔️bend testing.
According to the AWS D1.1 code, if a welder continues to use a particular
