Q 16: A

• Solid inclusion such flux, oxide, tungsten, slag trapped in the weld metal.
• See Section 3.4.

Q 17: A

• Planar imperfection such lamination, crack, lack of fusion (sidewall, root, inter-run, cap).
• Slag / porosity is a non-planar defect.

Q 18: B

• Throat thickness (actual) is extremely hard to measure, it will calculate by 1.141 times leg length. It may check in the macro sample.

Q 19: C

• Face tension –> face bend
• Root tension –> root bend
• Side tension –> face bend

Q 20: C

• Key works “heavy porosity, MMA, site, is most likely” are considered moisture contents.

Q 21: A

• MIG and MAG welding process use a solid wire welding consumable, defect not included slag.
• MMA, slag produce from covered electrode, for weld pool protection from atmosphere, it may trap in the weld metal.

Q 22: A

• Key word “main cause, undercut is”, best answer is excessive amps or high welding current.
• Other cause may be high travel speed.

Q 23: B

• Key words “is most likely, continuous monitoring”, best answer is B for pipe welder.

Q 24: A

• Key words “strongest, fillet welds”, which one given thicker of throat thickness.
• See Section 2.6.1.

Q 25: B

• Keywords “included angle, full penetration, pipe butt joint, MMA”, best practice is 70 degree.
• See Section 2.4.1 and Figure 2.11.

Q 26: C
