, Introduction:
This study guide and practice exam are intended to support candidates preparing for the CWB Welding
Inspector Level III certification. The questions included reflect the advanced knowledge, technical
standards, and decision-making skills required at this level. Topics cover welding codes, inspection
techniques, metallurgy, nondestructive testing, and quality management systems. Use these questions
to assess your readiness, deepen your understanding, and identify areas that may require further
review. Approach each question critically, as would be expected in a real-world inspection environment.
QUESTIONS:
Which of the following metals has the highest thermal conductivity?
(a) carbon steel
(b) stainless steel
(c) aluminum - Accurate answers (c)
The Ellingham diagram
(a) is a plot of thermal conductivity against temperature,
(b) shows the free energy of oxide formation against temperature.
(c) shows the rate of oxidation of metals against temperature. - Accurate answers (b)
True or False?
A metal with a high negative free energy of oxide formation will generally require greater shielding from
the atmosphere during welding. - Accurate answers True
Electricity can be conducted by:
(a) atoms and electrons.
(b) electrons and ions.
(c) only ions. - Accurate answers (b)
Which of the following elements is often present in submerged arc fluxes to improve arc stability?
(a) copper
(b) potassium
(c) nickel
(d) tungsten - Accurate answers (b)
Thoria is added to tunsten electrodes for what purpose? - Accurate answers To increase
thermionic emission by lowering the work function.
True or False?
All pure metals have the same crystal structure. - Accurate answers False. Metals generally have
one of three basic structures.
