WELDING QUESTIONNAIRE
What section of the ASME Code applies to welding qualifications?
ASME Section Ix.
What is a Welding Procedure Specification?
A list of the parameters applicable to the welding to be performed.
What information is contained in a Welding Procedure Specification?
Process type
Groove (joint) design
Material type
Material thickness
Position of groove
Filler metal type
Filler metal size
Preheat requirements
Interpass temperature
Postweld heat treatment requirements
Shielding gas or flux type
Blectrical characteristics
‘Techniques of welding.
What is a “Procedure Qualification Record?"
A document: which contains essentially the same information as a
WPS but includes the results of the tests necessary to qualify
the WPS. Also listed are the “essential variables” of the specific
Process or processes.
What is meant by the term “essential variables?"
Those parameters in which a change is considered to affect the
mechanical properties of the weldment.
What term is applied to a groove which is melted into the base
metal adjacent to the toe of the weld?
Undercut.
What type of defect is considered to be the most serious in a weld?
A crack.Welding Questionnaire 2

ANSWER:
What are the two paragraphs in ASME Section VIII which specify
acceptance of radiographs of welds?
Paragraphs UW-51 and UW-52.
What are the minimum tests required to qualify a welding procedure?
Tensile tests and guided bend tests.
An irregular inclusion in a weld which may contain oxides and
other nonmetallic solids is known as what?
slag.
What is TIG or GTAW welding?
Gas tungsten arc welding, the preferred AWS term.
What is the meaning of the term "interpass temperature?"
‘The highest temperature in the weld joint immediately prior to
welding.
How would you describe the application of TIG or GTAW welding?
It is an arc welding process wherein coalescence is produced by
heating with an electric arc between a single noncomsumable
tungsten electrode and the work. Shielding is obtained from a
gas or gas mixture.
Are there any limitations on fluxes used for submerged arc welding?
ves, i.e,
a. Some fluxes contain alloying elements.
b. Some fluxes are designed for single pass welding only.
What is the primary objective of a welding procedure?
‘To produce a welded joint satisfying the requirements of soundness
in the most economic way, while retaining the mechanical properties
of the base metal.
What type of defect is a result of using a low hydrogen electrode
which is slightly damp? .
Porosity.
How are welding electrodes identified?
Stamping, color codes.Welding Questionnaire 3

What is SMAN?
shielded metal-are welding.
‘The shortest distance from the root of a fillet weld to the face
of the weld is known as what?
Throat of a fillet weld.
A welding electrode is identified as E-6010. What do the first
two digits refer to?
Tensile strength of the electrode in the as-welded or stress-
relieved condition.
What information is usually contained in a welding procedure?
ype process, type of material, thickness of material, electrode
type, purge gas type, electrode size, purge rates, electrode
classification, welding position, preheat temperature, interpass
temperature, post weld heat treatment requirements, travel speed,
and bead technique.
What is the toe of a weld?
‘The junction between the face of a weld and the base metal.
Where would you most likely find a crater in a weld?
At the termination of a weld.
What is MIG or GMAW welding?
Gas metal arc welding.
How would you describe the application of MIG or GMAW welding?
It is an arc welding process wherein coalescence is produced by
heating with an electric arc between a consumable filler metal
electrode and the work. Shielding is obtained from a gas, a gas
mixture or a mixture of a gas and a flux.
How would you describe porosity?
Porosity is a cavity type discontinuity formed by gas entrapment
during solidification.
Plain carbon steels are classified in what "P" category in ASME
section IX?
PelWelding Questionnaire 4
What method, other than bend tests, may be used to quality welding
operators?
Radiography.
What are shielding and purging gases?
Inert gases for weld protection. shielding gas is fed through
nozzle with electrode. Purging gas protects I.D. of joint.
