Ductility is the ability of a metal to be stretched into a wire without breaking.
What is the correct action if a welding arc is too long?
Answer: Shorten the arc length
An excessively long arc causes spatter and poor fusion, so it should be shortened.
Which safety gear protects a welder's eyes from arc radiation?
Answer: Welding helmet with proper shade lens
A welding helmet with the correct shade filters intense UV and infrared light from the arc.
What is the typical shielding gas used for TIG welding aluminum?
Answer: Argon
Pure argon is commonly used for TIG welding aluminum because it provides a stable, clean arc.
A weld that does not fully fuse with the base metal shows what defect?
Answer: Lack of fusion
Lack of fusion occurs when the weld metal fails to bond properly to the base metal.
