SELF TEST {2025 latest update}
1. Define and describe the GMAW process in detail: GMAW Process: An arc
welding process that
uses an arc between a
continous filler metal
electrode and the weld
pool. The process is
used with shielding
gas from an externally
supplied source.
2. The gas metal arc welding process is also The gas metal arc

known as:
a) MIG welding.
b) flux cored arc welding.
a) MIG welding.
c)self-shielding process.
d) shielded metal arc welding.
