What is root face? |
Land |
|
Why should you ensure that your tack welds are of good quality? |

|
What is a blister? |
Shrinkage cavities |

What is the electrode inclination for 3G? |
0 deg - 10 deg BH to FH for all passes |
|
What does a keyhole tell you on the root pass? |
Both root edges have melted |
|
What is 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G |
All are groove welds Flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead |
|
What does GF mean? |
Groove and fillet weld combined into one weld |
|
How much weld reinforcement should you leave on cap pass? |
Approx. 10% of material thickness |
|
What is the main purpose of the first fill pass? |
To penetrate into the root and melt our any slag or undercut |
|
Recommended electrode inclination for root pass on a 45 deg overhead open root groove weld using E4310 (E6010)? |
0 deg - 10 deg BH |
|
Recommended electrode inclination for fill and cap pass on 45 deg overhead groove weld using E4918 (E7018)? |
0 deg - 10 deg BH or FH |
|
Common problem with inclination in 4G position |
Electrode melting off and inclination becomes too forehand |
|
What happens if you use too much manipulative movement when doing the root pass with E4310 (E6010) in the 4G position |
Generally fused but appears concave |
|
Required spacing between the plates for the 4GF test assembly? |
1/2" (13.0mm) |
|
Where is the first pass placed in the 4GF weld? |
At the junction forming a 90 deg angle |
|

|
What does PAC stand for? |
Plasma arc cutting |
|
What are two methods to pierce a hole in a steel plate? |
Traveling and still |
|
Why should you remove the soapstone line with your cut when cutting a W shape? |
To ensure the cut will fit the W shape once it's complete |
|
What happens with incorrect inclination on fill pass on the 4G weld? |
Undercutting bevel, high crown bead with trapped slag |
|
Rule of thumb with inclination |
Maintain inclination perpendicular to plate surface |
