a) Inclusion of slag
b) Inadequate penetration
c) Incomplete fusion
d) Porosity
View Answer

Explanation: Slag inclusions are one of the main weld defects. If we don’t properly clean the slag
from a bead, we run the risk of it becoming part of the weld when we run the next bead. A good
welder will generally burn it out on the next pass, but if not, there will be a chunk of slag in the
bead which leaves a weak spot. Slag inclusions.
2. Which of the following defects occur when the deposited metal is not focused on the root of
weld?

leaves a weld defect which is a weak point that can cause the joint to fail. This can cause
property damage, injury and even loss of life.

molten) is displaced by another molten metal which is more reactive than the metal in the metal
oxide, releasing a lot of heat. Example:
2Al + Fe2O3 → Al2O3 + 2Fe
2Fe + Cr2O3 → Al2O3 + 2Cr
Here aluminium is more reactive than Iron and Chromium and displaces it from their oxides.

10. In arc welding, arc is created between the electrode and work by?
a) Contact resistance
b) Flow of voltage
c) Flow of current
d) Electrical energy
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: All arc welding utilizes the transfer of electrical energy to heat energy. An arc is a
sustained electric discharge through this ionised gas column called plasma between the two
electrodes. In order to produce the arc, the potential difference between the two electrodes
(voltage) should be enough to allow them to move across the air gap. The larger air gap requires
higher potential differences. If the air gap becomes too large for the voltage, the arc may be
extinguished.
11. The coating material used for the electrode is termed as?
a) Flux
b) Slag
c) Protective layer

becomes a liquid slag, covering the operation and protecting the molten weld metal the slag
hardens upon cooling and must be removed later by chipping or brushing.

1. In which welding process the electric energy required for welding is stored in the capacitor?
a) Percussion welding
b) Explosion welding
c) Diffusion welding
d) Thermit welding
View Answer

Explanation: In percussion welding, two pieces are welded by a high intensity short duration arc
followed by very rapid or percussive impacting of the workpieces. There are three different
methods of arc initiation in percussion welding viz., low voltage with drawn arc, high voltage
breakdown, and ionising by a fusing tip. With each method, the energy source is a bank of
capacitors which is charged by a variable voltage transformer cum rectifier unit.

oscillating shear stress?
a) Diffusion welding
b) Thermit welding
c) Laser beam welding
d) Ultrasonic welding

beam.
9. Which of the following welding process the weld joint is obtained by means of filler material
and not by melting?
b) Thermit welding
c) Electroslag welding
d) Brazing
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: A brazed joint is made in a completely different manner from welded joint. The big
difference is in temperature-brazing does not melt the base metals. This means that brazing
temperatures are invariably lower than the melting points of the base metals. It joins base metals
by creating a metallurgical bond between the filler metal and the surfaces of the two metals being
joined. The principle by which the filler metal is drawn through the joint to create this bond is
capillary action.
10. Which of the following statements is not true?
a) Brazing occurs at a temperature above 450°C
b) Soldering occurs at a temperature below 450°C
c) Epoxy resins are used to join metals, ceramics etc
d) Epoxy resins are not used to join metals, ceramics etc
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The excellent adhesive properties of epoxy resins are due to the attractive forces
between the epoxy resin and the surface of the substrate. Typical epoxy resins have pendant
hydroxyl (-OH) groups along their chain which can form bonds or strong polar attractions to
oxide or hydroxyl surfaces. Most inorganic surface, i.e., metals, minerals, glasses, ceramics, etc.
have polarity so they have high surface energy. Organic polymer surfaces are generally less polar
(more covalent) thus lower surface energy.

d) In Nd- YAG lasers, crystals of C14 are used as the lasing material
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Time for welding thick sections is reduced and the need for filler wires and
elaborate joint preparations is eliminated by employing the single pass laser welding procedures
but filler metals may be occasionally used.
6. Laser welding is performed with freedom from electrode contamination.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: In the case of laser beam welding, no electrodes are required; welding is performed
with freedom from electrode contamination, indentation or damage from high resistance welding
currents.
7. Which of the following does not hold true about laser beam welding?
a) Laser welding cannot be used in case of joints at intricate locations
b) It can produce tiny welds
c) Laser welding can be used for a variety of metal combinations
d) In case of LBW, thin welds on small diameter wires are less susceptible to burn back
View Answer
8. Laser welds are not influenced by _____

a) electric field
b) magnetic field
c) radio waves
d) ultraviolet rays
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Laser welds are not influenced by magnetic fields, as in arc and electron beam
welds. They also tend to follow weld joint through to the root of the work-piece, even when the
beam and joint are not perfectly aligned.
9. Aspect ratios, i.e., depth-to-width ratios of the order of _____ are attainable by LBW.
a) 1:2
b) 5:10
c) 10:1
d) 15:1
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Following are the few advantages of the LBW process:
• Aspect ratios (i.e., depth-to-width ratios) of the order of 10:1 are attainable in LBM
• Metals with dissimilar physical properties, such as electric resistance can also be welded
• No vacuum or X-Ray shielding is required.
10. Weld penetrations of larger than _____ are difficult to weld by LBW.
a) 5 mm
b) 13 mm
c) 19 mm
d) 25 mm
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The maximum joint thickness that can be welded by a laser beam is somewhat
limited. Thus weld penetrations of larger than 19 mms are difficult to weld. Also, joints must be
accurately positioned laterally under the beam and at a controlled position with respect to the
beam focal point.
11. Which of the following material properties has no effect on laser beam machining?
a) Reflectivity
b) Thermal conductivity
c) Weldability
d) Electrical conductivity
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: High reflectivity and high thermal conductivity of materials like Al and Cu alloys
can affect the weldability with lasers. Also, in case of mechanical clamping of the weld joints, it
must be ensured that the final position of the joint is accurately aligned with the beam
impingement point.
12. Lasers tend to have fairly low energy conversion efficiency.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Following are the few limitations of the LBM Process:
• An appropriate plasma control device must be employed to ensure the weld reproducibility
while performing moderate to high power laser welding
• Lasers tend to have fairly low energy conversion efficiency, generally less than 10 percent
• Some weld-porosity and brittleness can be expected, as a consequence of the rapid
solidification characteristics of the LBM.
