Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. In spot welding process, the metal or the alloy parts which are to be welded, are heated in their in their zones. To bring these parts in contact with one another, mechanical pressure is applied, causing them to connect.
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. TIG welding is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, magnesium and copper alloys.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Electron beam welding has the smallest Heat Affected zone (HAZ).
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Welding of aluminium is considered to be slightly difficult than the steel due to high thermal and electrical conductivity, high thermal expansion coefficient, refractory aluminium oxide formation tendency and low stiffness
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. On weldability, there are some effects seen in the alloying elements. Some of them are Control of ductile-malleable transformation temperature, Reduction in segregation, Grain refinement and provision for deoxidation to the molten metal
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Oxy-acetylene process is most suited for the joining of metal sheets or for joining metal plates which are having a thickness of 2mm to 50mm. While joining, the molten metal flows together to form a continuous joint.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. In an arc welding process, there are alternators used for producing high current and function at lower frequency, and there are alternators which are of high quality and work at high frequency. The functioning frequency of these alternators is 400 Hz.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Electrodes which are classified into three types, fast fill, fast freeze and fill freeze. Among these, the fast fill electrodes are considered to be able to operate at extremely high welding speeds, and hence fast fill electrodes are designed for quick melting.
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. The thermit process, which is used for welding depends on the chemical reaction between oxide of iron and aluminium metal. According to this reaction, when 8 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of iron oxide, then, 4 moles of aluminium oxide and 9 moles of iron is formed.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Thermit welding is called as fusion welding. A superheated melt operates in this type of melt. The heat that is produced has the temperature approximately twice than that of the melting point of steel, which is about 3000°C.
