In leftward welding, the flame points:
Towards the completed weld
Away from the weld
Straight up
At the filler rod
In rightward welding, the flame points:
Towards the un-welded portion
Downwards
Randomly
Leftward welding consumes:
More gas
Less gas
No gas
Equal to rightward
Rightward welding produces:
Stronger welds
Weaker welds
No difference
Brittle joints
Leftward welding is also known as:
Forehand welding
Backhand welding
Overhead welding
Neutral welding
Filler rods in welding are used to:
Increase flame temperature
Fill the joint gap
Clean the surface
Reduce porosity only
Filler rods are made of:
Mild steel, copper, aluminium
Plastic
Wood
Glass
Flux is used in welding to:
Increase temperature
Prevent oxidation
Reduce strength
Cool the metal
Flux also helps in:
Removing oxides
Making weld brittle
Increasing slag
Breaking joint
Common flux for aluminium welding is:
Borax and fluorides
Zinc powder
Copper sulphate
Sand
For brazing, the most used flux is:
Borax
Lime
Cement
Lead oxide
Flux is applied in the form of:
Paste
Powder
Liquid
Any of the above
Filler rod specification includes:
Diameter and length
Color only
Weight only
Shape only
For mild steel welding, filler rod is coated with:
Copper
Zinc
Aluminium
Nickel
Flux coating on rods helps in:
Gas shielding
Increasing hardness
Lowering melting point
Removing hydrogen
Filler rod diameter for thin sheet welding is usually:
1.6 mm
5 mm
10 mm
0.5 mm
For 5 mm plate welding, filler rod diameter is about:
3.15 mm
0.8 mm
6 mm
12 mm
Gas welding is suitable for:
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Stone
Gas welding gives:
Lower heat concentration than arc welding
Higher heat concentration
No heat
Infinite heat
Gas welding is preferred for:
Thin sections
Thick castings only
Ceramics
Cement joints
One limitation of gas welding is:
Low welding speed
High cost only
No control over flame
Impossible to weld steel
The heat source in gas welding is:

Combustion of oxygen and acetylene
Solar heat
Laser
The temperature of oxy-acetylene flame is about:
3200°C
1500°C
5000°C
800°C
The neutral flame has:
Equal oxygen and acetylene
Excess oxygen
Excess acetylene
No oxygen
Carburizing flame is used for:
Welding high carbon steel
Welding mild steel
Cutting steel
Welding copper
