material.
The heat affected zone of a weld is best described by which of the following? - correct answers That
portion of the base metal whose mechanical properties or microstructure have been altered by the heat
of welding or thermal cutting
Welding inspection includes which of the following? - correct answersVisual and nondestructive
examination of the welds, Review of specifications, welding procedures, and welder qualifications,
Review of joint designs and cleaning procedures.
Which of the following tasks are not normally performed by the inspector prior to welding? - correct
answersCheck the appearance and size of welds.
. Who is responsible for the "quality craftsmanship" of weldments? - correct answersThe welder.
, During welding operations, the inspector should: - correct answersConfirm welding parameters and
techniques are supported by the WPS and WPQ, Complete physical checks, visual examinations, and in
process NDE, Establish a quality control and quality assurance umbrella with the welding organization.
Following the completion of welding, and before the completed welds are placed in service, the
inspector should: - correct answersa. Verify post weld acceptance and that NDE was performed at the
selected locations, Verify that post weld heat treatments and pressure testing were performed, if
required, and that the results were acceptable, Audit the inspection files to identify inaccuracies and
incomplete information
