a) Generation of more heat at electrode tip
b) Generation of less heat at electrode tip
c) Provides coating
d) Fixed polarity is maintained
Answer: b
Clarification: Carbon is used in carbon arc welding, at the negative

terminal of the cathode. The reason for employing carbon at the
negative terminal is that, a lesser amount of heat is generated at the
electron tip than at the workpiece.
2. What is the temperature at the negative terminal in carbon arc

welding?
a) 3000°C
b) 3100°C
c) 3200°C
d) 3300°C
Answer: c
Clarification: None.
3. The process of carbon arc welding is not used for which of the
following material?
a) Copper
b) Bronze
c) Aluminium
d) Iron
Answer: d
Clarification: The process of carbon arc melting is widely used for

copper and copper alloys, hence bronze and brass are treated by this
method. Aluminium can also be treated likewise, but not iron metal.
4. Which gas is used as a protection in carbon arc welding?
a) Carbon dioxide
b) Carbon monoxide
c) Carbon tetra fluoride
d) Methane
Answer: b
Clarification: In carbon arc welding, there has to be a protection to
be provided to the molten weld. This protection is provided in the

form of an envelope by using a long arc giving carbon monoxide gas.
5. What is the temperature at the positive terminal in carbon arc

welding?
a) 3800°C
b) 3900°C
c) 4000°C
d) 4100°C
Answer: b
Clarification: Carbon is used in carbon arc welding, at the negative

terminal of the cathode and the metal which is being worked upon
functions as the positive terminal. The temperature of the electrode
at the positive terminal is 3900°C.
6. What is the temperature of the negative electrode in metal arc

welding?
a) 2200°C
b) 2300°C
c) 2400°C
d) 2500°C
Answer: c
Clarification: In metal arc welding, the temperature of negative

electrode is higher than the temperature of positive electrode. The
temperature produced in a negative electrode of a metal arc weld is
about 2400°C.
7. What is the temperature of the positive electrode in metal arc

welding?
a) 2300°C
b) 2400°C
c) 2500°C
d) 2600°C
Answer: d
8. Which bead character is seen due to too high welding current?
a) Pilling of metal
b) Pilling of weld metal
c) Excess splatter
d) Small bead formation
Answer: c
Clarification: On provision of too low current, there is pilling of

metal seen. When the voltage provided is very high, beads formed
are too high. When the speed of weld is less, pilling of weld metal
takes place and when welding currents are too high, excessive
splatter formation occurs.
9. A smooth and regular bead cannot be formed in metal arc welding.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: Before the welding starts, the machine has to be

adjusted very correctly. The current to be supplied and the voltage to
be applied should not to be too low or high, and the welding speed
should be normal. By doing this, regular and smooth beads will be
formed.
10. Carbon is intended to be mixed in small amounts in the weld, in

carbon arc welding.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: In carbon arc welding, the carbon is present at the

negative electrode, where the electrode temperature is at 3200°C.
This temperature is lesser than that at the positive electrode. Carbon
electrode is kept at a lower temperature on the negative electrode, to
avoid the mixing of carbon in the weld. If the carbon gets mixed with
the weld, the weld might end up becoming brittle.

1. The design nominal strength of fillet weld is given by

____________
a) fu
b) √3 fu
c) fu/√3
d) fu/(1.25 x √3)
Answer: c
Clarification: Design nominal strength of fillet weld = fu/√3, where fu

is smaller of ultimate stress of weld or parent metal.
2. When welds are subjected to compressive or tensile or shear force

alone, the stress in weld is given by :
a) P/ttlw
b) Ptt/lw
c) Pttlw
d) Plw/tt
Answer: a
Clarification: When welds are subjected to compressive or tensile or

shear force alone, the stress in weld is given by q = P/ttlw , where
q=shear stress in N/mm2, P = force transmitted, tt = effective throat
thickness of weld in mm, lw = effective length of weld in mm.
https://engineeringinterviewquestions.com/mcqs-on-design-of-welds-and-answers/ 1/5
3. When fillet welds are subjected to combination of normal and

shear stress, the equivalent stress is given by :

b) √(fa2+2q2)
c) √(3fa2+q2)
d) √(fa2+3q2)
Answer: d
Clarification: When fillet welds are subjected to combination of

normal and shear stress, the equivalent stress is given by fe =
√(fa2+3q2), where fa = normal stresses, compression or tension, due
to axial force or bending moment, q = shear stress due to shear force
or tension.
4. Two plates of 12mm and 16mm thickness are to be joined by

groove weld. The joint is subjected to factored tensile load of 400kN.
Due to some reasons the effective length of weld that could be
provided was 150mm only. What is the safety of joint if single-V
groove weld is provided?
a) Safe
b) Unsafe
c) Unsafe, but adequate
d) Safe, but adequate
Answer: b
Clarification: Lw = 150mm, Throat thickness, te = 5×12/8 = 7.5 mm
Strength of weld = Lwtefy/1.25 = 150×7.5x250x10-3/1.25 = 225kN <

400kN. Therefore joint is unsafe and inadequate.
5. What is the effective throat thickness dimension of 10mm fillet

weld made by shielded metal arc welding and submerged arc
welding?
a) 4.6mm, 5mm
b) 5mm, 4.6mm

Clarification: Minimum size of weld = 3mm
Maximum size of weld = 10-1.5 = 8.5mm
Assume weld size = 6mm
Effective throat thickness, te = 0.7 x 6 = 4.2mm
Strength of weld = te [fu/(√3 x 1.25)] = 410 x 4.2 /(√3 x 1.25) =

795.36 N/mm.
7. What is the overall length of fillet weld to be provided for lap joint
to transmit a factored load of 100kN? Assume site welds and width
and thickness of plate as 75mm and 8mm respectively, Fe410 steel.
a) 500mm
b) 382mm
c) 201mm
d) 468mm
Answer: c
Clarification: Minimum size of weld = 3mm
Maximum size of weld = 8-1.5 = 6.5mm
Assume size of weld = 5mm
Effective throat thickness = 0.7 x 5 = 3.5mm
Strength of weld = 3.5×410/(√3 x1.5) = 552.33 N/mm
Required length of weld = 100 x 103/552.33 = 181.05 mm

length to be provided on each side = 181/2 = 90.5mm
End return = 2×5 = 10mm
Overall length = 2 x (90.5 + 2 x 5) = 201mm.
8. The clear spacing between effective lengths of intermittent welds

should not be ______
a) less than 16t in case of tension joint, where t is thickness of thinner

plate
b) less than 12t in case of compression joint, where t is thickness of

TOP MCQs on Friction Welding – 3 and Answers
250+ TOP MCQs on Friction

Welding – 3 and Answers
DataSheet PDF
Manufacturing Processes Multiple Choice Questions on “Friction

Welding – 3”.
https://engineeringinterviewquestions.com/mcqs-on-friction-welding-3-and-answers/ 1/7
1. In friction welding process, materials are joined by _____ motion

between materials.
a) rectilinear
b) rubbing
c) translatory
d) brownian
Answer: b
Clarification: Friction welding is a solid-state joining process that

produces coalescence in materials, using the heat developed between
surfaces through a combination of mechanically induced rubbing
motion and applied load. The resulting joint is of forged quality.
2. All metallic engineering materials which are _____ can be friction

welded.
a) soft
b) weldable
c) forgeable
d) metamaterials
Answer: c
Clarification: As a rule, all metallic engineering materials which are

forgeable can be friction welded, including automotive valve alloys,
maraging steel, tool steel, alloy steels and tantalum. In addition,
many castings, powder metals and metal matrix composites are
weldable.
3. Friction welding is _____ process.
a) costly
b) cost saving
c) time consuming
d) highly material selective
Answer: b
Clarification: Since dissimilar materials can be joined, a significant

cost savings are possible because engineers can design bimetallic
parts that use expensive materials only where needed. Expensive
forgings and castings can be replaced with less expensive forgings
welded to bar stock, tubes, plates and the like.
4. Friction welding produces quality joints, with a 100% _____ weld.
a) lap joint
b) tee-joint
c) butt joint
d) edge joint
Answer: c
Clarification: Friction welding produces forged quality joints, with a

100% butt joint weld through the contact area. Furthermore, in
friction welding heat affected zone is much narrower as compared to
other welds, which indeed reduces the cost of post-weld heat
treatments (stress relieving processes).
5. Which of the following is not true about friction welding?
a) Dissimilar metals cannot be joined
b) This technique is relatively faster as compared to the other

techniques
c) This technique is suitable for any parts of shape or size
d) Sheared surfaces can also be joined by the process
Answer: a
Clarification: Following are the few advantages of friction welding

over other techniques:
• Dissimilar metals are joined, even some considered incompatible

or unweldable.
• The process is at least twice— and up to 100 times—as fast as other

welding techniques.
• Friction welders are versatile enough to join a wide range of part

shapes, materials and sizes.
• Joint preparation isn’t critical… machined saw cut, and even

sheared surfaces are weldable.
6. Which of the following holds true for friction welding?
a) Hazardous fumes are generated during the process
b) Argon is used as a shielding gas
c) It is a power consuming process
d) There are no solidification defects in the welded parts
Answer: d
Clarification: Following are the few reasons to consider friction

welding over other techniques:
• The machine-controlled process eliminates human error, and weld

quality is independent of operator skill.
• It’s ecologically clean—no objectionable smoke, fumes, or gases are

generated that need to be exhausted.
• No consumables are required— no flux, filler material, or shielding

gases.
• Power requirements are as low as 20% of that required of

conventional welding processes.
• Since there is no melting, no solidification defects occur, e.g. gas

porosity, segregation or slag inclusions.
7. In inertia friction welding ______ energy of welding machine is

used.
a) electrical
b) potential
c) rotational
d) frictional
Answer: c
Clarification: Inertia Friction Welding is a variation of friction

welding in which the energy required to make the weld is supplied
primarily by the stored rotational kinetic energy of the welding
machine.
8. In inertia friction welding, one workpiece is connected to _____
a) flywheel
b) the pin tool
c) rotor
d) generator
Answer: a
Clarification: In Inertia Welding, one of the workpieces is connected

to a flywheel and the other is restrained from rotating. The flywheel
is accelerated to a predetermined rotational speed, storing the
required energy. The drive motor is disengaged and workpieces are
forced together by the friction welding force.
9. Weld strength in inertia friction welding is more than direct drive

friction welding.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: Inertia Friction Welding has the following advantages

over the Direct Drive Friction Welding process:
• Helical flow lines and hot working at end of weld cycle can help in
weld strength
• Ease of monitoring, given only two variables for welding: energy

(RPM) and pressure. Energy can be monitored before a signal is
given to weld reducing the variables during welding to one
• Weld torque is measured indirectly by measuring the rate of

spindle speed change.
10. In direct drive friction welding, lower weld forces are generated.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: Following are the advantages of direct drive friction

welding over inertia friction welding:
• Lower weld force for solid parts. Larger parts can be welded on
same tonnage machine
• Lower weld torque if brake is applied at end of weld cycle. Tooling

requirements are, therefore, less rigid
• Lower RPM for solid parts
• No flywheel change between setups.

1. Which among the following is a property of fusion welding not of

solid state welding?
a) Filler metal is added
b) Heat is applied
c) Used to join metals
d) Nothing can differentiate them
Answer: a
Clarification: In case of a fusion welding coalescence is accomplished

by melting the two parts to be joined, in some cases adding filler
metal to the joint, but in case of solid state welding filler metal is not
added.
2. A fusion-welding operation in which no filler metal is added is

referred to as a/an _____
a) Compile weld
b) Autogenous weld
c) Filler Weld
d) Damper weld
Answer: b
Clarification: When the filler metals are not added in a fusion-

welding operation then it is referred as an autogenous weld Fusion-
welding processes and it uses heat to melt the base metals just like
the other fusion welding process. Mainly these fillers are added to
facilitate the process and to give a strength or toughness to the
joints. .
3. Which among the following is not a fusion welding technique?
a) Arc welding
b) Oxy-fuel welding
c) Resistance welding
d) Diffusion welding
Answer: d
Clarification: Here if we check the first three options they belong to

the category of fusion welding technique and they use heat mainly to
join the metals but in the diffusion welding two surfaces are held
together by using the pressure at a pretty high temperature and the
parts coalesce by solid-state diffusion.
4. In which joint type, the parts lie in the same plane and are joined at
their edges?
a) Butt
b) Corner
c) Lap
d) Tee
Answer: a
Clarification: This happens in the case of butt joints. Whereas in

corner joints the parts in a corner joint form a right angle and are
joined at the corner of the angle and in the case of lap joint the joints
consist of two overlapping parts.
5. The heat to transform the metal from solid to liquid phase at the
melting point, which depends on the metal’s heat of fusion. Calculate
the unit energy for melting if the melting temperature is 1000K? (K =
3.33 * 10-6).
a) 3.33
b) 6.66
c) 9.99
d) 3.33*10-3
Answer: a
Clarification: If we consider a fair approximation the total amount of

heat or the quantity of the heat can be calculated using the following
equation Um = K(Tm)2, where Um = the unit energy for melting and
Tm is the melting point of the metal. Um is the total amount or
quantity of heat required to melt a unit volume of metal taking the
initial temperature as room temperature.
6. Typical fusion-weld joint in which filler metal has been added

consists of several zones.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: The several zones which include the heat affected zone,
fusion zone, the heat unaffected zone that is present away from the
fusion zone and weld interface zone.
7. Calculate the net heat available for welding if the heat transfer
factor f1, melting factor f2 and the total heat supplied are given as
0.8, 0.9, 1000J respectively?
a) 720J
b) 100J
c) 1000J
d) 110J
Answer: a
Clarification: The net heat available for welding is actually the

product of the heat transfer factor, melting factor and the total heat
supplied. In this case it, H(Tot) = 0.9*0.8*1000J =720J.
8. In the case of arc welding find the arc time, if the time for which
the arc is switched on is given as 3hrs and the hours worked with that
is given as 1hr?
a) 3hrs
b) 1.5hrs
c) 6hrs
d) 9hrs
Answer: a
Clarification: Arc time = Time arc is on/ hours worked. Productivity

is also an issue. It is often measured as arc time (also called arc-on
time), that is the proportion of hours worked that arc welding is
being accomplished.

300 A and voltage of 20V. Calculate the total power in the operation?
a) 6000W
b) 150W
c) 600W
d) 1500W
Answer: a
Clarification: The total power generated is given as P = IV, so in this

case it is 300*20 = 6000W. Power Source in Arc Welding, both
direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) are used in arc
welding.
10. If the total power generated is given as 3000W. Calculate the rate
of heat generation at the weld if the melting factor is given as 0.6 and
the heat transfer factor as 0.8?
a) 1444J/s
b) 1434J/s
c) 1240J/s
d) 1440J/s
Answer: d
Clarification: The rate of heat generation at the weld is given as the

product of the total input power, the heat transfer factor and the
melting factor. So in this case 0.8*0.6*3000 which gives the
required answer 1440J/s.
11. A gas tungsten arc-welding operation is performed at a current of

500 A and voltage of 20 V. The melting factor f2 = 0.5, and the unit
melting energy for the metal Um = 10 Jmm-3. Calculate the volume of
metal welded? (Heat transfer factor is 0.7)
a) 350mm/sec
b) 950mm/sec
c) 450mm/sec
d) 550mm/sec
Answer: a
Clarification: Here the volume of the metal welded can be calculated

if we know the total heat generation at the weld. This can be
calculated if we know the total power required. So here the total
power is given as 500*20 = 10000W, hence the rate is given as
0.7*0.5*10000 = 3500J/sec and the volume is given as

3500/10=350mm/sec.
12. The power source in a particular welding setup generates 4000 W

that can be transferred to the work surface with a heat transfer factor
= 0.9. The metal to be welded is low carbon steel, whose melting
temperature, is 1800 K. The melting factor in the operation is 0.6. A
continuous fillet weld is to be made with a cross-sectional area = 20
mm2. Determine the travel speed at which the welding operation can
be accomplished? (K = 3.33 *10-6)
a) 59.5mm/sec
b) 10.49mm/se
c) 3.65mm/sec
d) 4.56mm/sec
Answer: b
Clarification: Let us first find the unit energy required to melt the
metal Um, which can be calculated as Um = 3.33*10-6 *18002 =
10.78Jmm-3.To calculate the travel velocity we take the equation
f1*f2*R=Um*A*v, hence from this we get the value of v the required
velocity, v = (0.9*0.6*4000)/10.3*20 = 10.49mm/sec.
13. The quantity of heat required to melt a given volume of metal does
not depend on______
a) The melting point of the metal
b) Composition of elements in the melt
c) The heat to transform the metal from solid to liquid phase at the
melting point
d) The heat to raise the temperature of the solid metal to its melting
point
Answer: b
Clarification: The quantity of heat required to melt a given volume of

metal depends on the melting point of the metal, the heat to
transform the metal from solid to liquid phase at the melting point
which depends on metals heat of fusion and the heat to raise the
temperature of the solid metal to its melting point.
14. A flux is a substance used to prevent the formation of oxides and

other unwanted contaminants, or to dissolve them and facilitate
removal.
a) False
b) True
Answer: b
Clarification: A flux is a substance used to prevent the formation of

oxides and other unwanted contaminants, or to dissolve them and
facilitate removal. During welding, the flux melts and 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.
15. Arc shielding is accomplished by covering the electrode tip, arc,

and molten weld pool with a blanket of gas or flux, or both, which
inhibit exposure of the weld metal to air.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: At the high temperatures in arc welding, the metals

being joined are chemically reactive to oxygen, nitrogen, and
hydrogen in the air. The mechanical properties of the weld joint can
be seriously degraded by these reactions. Thus, some means to shield
the arc from the surrounding air is provided in nearly all AW
processes. Arc shielding is accomplished by covering the electrode
tip, arc, and molten weld pool with a blanket of gas or flux, or both,
which inhibit exposure of the weld metal to air.

Manufacturing Engineering Multiple Choice Questions on

“Unconventional Welding Methods”.
1. In which welding process the electric energy required for welding is

stored in the capacitor?
d) Thermit welding
Answer: a
Clarification: 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.
2. In which welding process pressure is applied by detonating a layer

of explosive?
d) Thermit welding
Answer: b
Clarification: In explosion welding, a compression force created by
detonation of explosives is used to join overlapping metal sheets. The

joining parts are arranged toward each other at an angle of 1-15°,
depending on the material and method, and are prepared with a
layer of explosive on the top.
3. In which welding the surfaces of two components are subjected to

static normal force and oscillating shear stress?
b) Thermit welding
Answer: d
Clarification: In ultrasonic welding (USW), the faying surfaces of the

two members are subjected to a static normal force and oscillating
shearing (tangential) stresses. The shearing stresses are applied by
the tip of a transducer similar to that used for ultrasonic machining.
4. In which welding the strength of the weld results due to diffusion

and plastic deformation of the flying surface?
b) Thermit welding
Answer: a
Clarification: In diffusion welding, the bond strength is achieved by

pressure, temperature, time of contact, and cleanness of the surfaces.
The strength of the bond is primarily due to diffusion rather than
any plastic deformation.
5. In Thermit welding the heat generated is due to the mixing of?
a) Aluminum and copper
b) Aluminum and iron
c) Aluminum oxide and iron
d) Aluminum and iron oxide
Answer: d
Clarification: Thermite welding is a welding process in which the

workpiece is joined with the help of molten metal by means of an
exothermic reaction. Thermite mixture consists of a metal oxide
(usually iron oxide) and aluminum powder. The major application of
thermite welding is to weld railway tracks. It is also used to weld

heavy machinery.
6. Which of the following welding is also known as arc and gas

welding?
Answer: b
Clarification: Atomic hydrogen welding, also known as AHW, is an

arc welding technique that uses an arc which is located between two
tungsten electrodes and a hydrogen shielding gas.
7. Which of the following welding is used for welding vertical section

in one pass?
d) Electro gas welding
Answer: d
Clarification: Electro gas welding (EGW) is an vertical positioned arc

welding process, is used for welding the edges of sections vertically
and in one pass with the pieces placed edge to edge (butt joint).
8. Electron beam welding is carried in?
a) Inert atmosphere
b) Partially filled chamber
c) Vacuum
d) Partially vacuum
Answer: c
Clarification: In electron beam welding process, electrons are

emitted from the heated filament called electrode. This is done under
vacuum conditions to prevent dissipation of the electron 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
Answer: d
Clarification: 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
Answer: d
Clarification: 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.

1. The production of sound welds is not governed by ______
a) type of joint
b) choice of electrode
c) type of metal plate
d) arc length
Answer: c
Clarification: The production of sound welds is governed by type of

joint, its preparation, root opening, etc. The choice of electrode,
welding position, welding current and voltage, arc length, rate of
travel also affect the quality of weld.
2. Which of the following is not a reason for incomplete fusion?
a) surfaces to be jointed are coated with oxides
b) insufficient current supplied by welding equipment
c) high rate of welding
d) use of large electrode
Answer: d
Clarification: Incomplete fusion may result if surfaces to be jointed

have not been cleaned properly and are coated with oxides and other
foreign materials. Insufficient current supplied by welding
equipment and high rate of welding will result in incomplete fusion.
3. Which of the following is true?
a) incomplete penetration is found in fillet welds
b) it is due to use of large size of electrodes
c) it is due to excessive welding current
d) it is due to insufficient welding rates
Answer: b
Clarification: Incomplete penetration is due to failure of weld metal

to penetrate the complete depth of joint where full penetration has
been specified. This defect is found in groove welds sue to unsuitable
groove design for selected welding process, use of large size of
electrodes, insufficient welding current, excessive welding rates.
4. Which of the following is not true?
a) Porosity is caused due to insufficient current
b) It is caused due to longer arc length
c) It may be due to poor welding procedure
d) It results in stress concentration
Answer: a
Clarification: Porosity is formed when gas pockets or voids are

draped during cooling process. It may be due to excessively high
current or longer arc length or due to poor welding procedure.
Porosity results in stress concentration and reduced ductility of
metal.
5. Which of the following is true regarding undercutting defect?
a) Undercutting is due to local increase of thickness of parent metal

at weld toe
b) It is due to insufficient current
c) It can be corrected by depositing additional weld material
d) It is not easy to detect
Answer: c
Clarification: Undercutting is due to local decrease of thickness of

parent metal at weld toe. This results in groove in base metal
adjacent to toe of weld and left unfilled by weld metal during welding
process. Undercutting may result in loss of gross section and will act
as stress riser. This defect may be due to excessive current or longer
arc length. It can be easily detected visually and can be corrected by
depositing additional weld material.
6. Hot cracks can be prevented by __________
a) faster cooling
b) non uniform heating
c) pre-heating
d) slower cooling
Answer: d
Clarification: Hot cracks form as weld begin to solidify and are

caused by brittle constituents (presence of sulphur, carbon, silicon
and hydrogen). They can be prevented by more uniform heating and
slower cooling.
7. Cold cracks can be prevented by __________
a) uniform heating
b) by use of low hydrogen electrode
c) faster cooling
d) slower cooling
Answer: b
Clarification: Cold cracks occur under room temperature run parallel

Manufacturing Engineering Multiple Choice Questions on “Welding

Metallurgy and Welding Defects”.
1. Which of the following defects occur due to flux employed and

electrode coating?
d) Porosity
Answer: a
Clarification: 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?
d) Porosity
Answer: b
Clarification: Inadequate penetration defects occur when the

deposited metal is not focused at the root of weld. Some part of gap
remains unwelded due to this defect.
3. Which of the following defects occur when weld metal layer fails to
fuse together?
d) Porosity
Answer: c
Clarification: Incomplete fusion defects occur when weld metal layer

fails to fuse together. It causes discontinuity in weld zone.
4. Which of the following defects occur due to the entrapment of gas

bubbles by the freezing dendrites during the cooling of molten pad?
d) Porosity
Answer: d
Clarification: Referred to as worm holes, these are gas pockets

trapped in the weld. A couple of reasons would be from not enough
shielding gas in MIG, or moisture in the flux.
5. Which of the following defects occur due to filler material having a

different rate of contraction compared to parent metal?
a) Undercut
b) Spatter
d) Cold cracking
Answer: c
Clarification: Weld cracking occurs close to the time of fabrication.

Most forms of cracking result from the shrinkage strains that occur
as the weld metal cools. It can be of hot cracks types.
6. Which of the following defects occur due to melting or burning

away of base metal?
a) Undercut
b) Spatter
d) Cold cracking
Answer: a
Clarification: Undercut is the cardinal sin of welding grasshopper!

Cutting into the steel with the force of the arc leaves a cut out groove
in the weld. If this is not filled back in with filler metal, it 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.
7. Which of the following defects occur due to scattering of metal

around the vicinity of weld?
a) Undercut
b) Spatter
d) Cold cracking
Answer: b
Clarification: Spatters are the droplets of molten material during

GAS welding or arc welding. A temperature difference and slag
accumulation are the reason of spatter formation. Welding speed is
also one of the main causes of spatter. Type of material used and
type of welding also decide to spatter density.
8. Which of the following defects occur due to incorrect welding

techniques?
a) Undercut
b) Hot cracking
d) Cold cracking
Answer: c
Clarification: Cracking in weld metal defect occur due to incorrect

welding techniques. Sometimes cracking may not be visible by naked
eyes.
9. Which of the following defect is influenced by sulphur and carbon

content of weld metals?
a) Undercut
b) Hot cracking
d) Cold cracking
Answer: b
Clarification: Hot cracks are those that occur at elevated

temperatures and are usually solidification related. It is being
influenced by sulphur and carbon content of weld metals. Sometimes

cracking may not be visible by naked eyes.
10. Which of the following defects occur at a lower temperature?
a) Undercut
b) Hot cracking
d) Cold cracking
Answer: d
Clarification: Cold cracks are those that occur after the weld metal
has cooled to room temperature and may be hydrogen related. These
occurs are lower temperature. Sometimes cracking may not be
visible by naked eyes.

1. Which of the following methods cannot be used for welding carbon

steel?
a) Arc welding
b) Gas welding
c) Ultrasonic welding
d) Forge welding
Answer: c
Clarification: For the welding of carbon steel material, one may use
the arc welding method. To gas weld carbon steel is also a feasible
option and carbon steels can be treated using forge welding also, but
it cannot be welded using ultrasonic welding.
2. High alloys steels are preheated up to what temperature?
a) 350°C
b) 400°C
c) 450°C
d) 500°C
Answer: b
Clarification: High alloy steels are those steels which contain high
amount of carbon in them. These alloys need to be preheated before
welding in order to avoid cracking. The temperature up to which
these alloys are preheated is 400°C.
3. Up to what percent of carbon content in steel, it is not required to

preheat it?
a) 0.25% – 0.3%
b) 0.3% – 0.35%
c) 0.35% – 0.4%
d) 0.4% – 0.45%
Answer: a
Clarification: Low carbon steels are the ones containing low amount
of carbon in them, which does not require preheating. The amount of
carbon content needed in low carbon steels, is 0.25% to 0.3%, if
preheating is to be avoided.
4. Which of the following material is not used in alloy steels?
a) Molybdenum
b) Nickel
c) Chromium
d) Sodium
Answer: d
Clarification: In alloy steels, there is a big composition used up by

iron. Along with iron, there vitally has to be carbon in alloy steels.
Along with carbon, there is a presence of other elements such as,
molybdenum, nickel and chromium in small amounts.
5. Which among the following methods is best suited for stainless

steels?
a) Electric butt welding
b) Seam welding
c) Flux coated arc welding
d) Oxy-hydrogen welding
Answer: a
Clarification: There are a few methods of treating stainless steels for

welding, such as, any of the metal arc welding methods or the oxy-
acetylene welding method, but the one best suited for this alloy is
electric butt welding.
6. Stainless steels are annealed at what temperature?
a) 650°C – 700°C
b) 700°C – 750°C
c) 750°C – 800°C
d) 800°C – 850°C
Answer: c
Clarification: Stainless steels are hardened by constant heating and

cooling and the best method suited for this alloy is electric butt
welding. As soon as the stainless steel alloy is electric butt welded, it
needs to be annealed at a temperature in between 750°C to 800°C.
7. Which of the following is not a material used for making an

electrode in metal arc welding, for treating stainless steels?
a) Niobium
b) Columbium
c) Titanium
d) Potassium
Answer: d
Clarification: Stainless steels are best welded using the electric butt
welding method and then followed by annealing at around 750°C to
800°C. Stainless steels can also be welded using the metal arc
welding methods. For this the electrode which is needed is made up
of niobium, titanium and columbium. These materials avoid the
occurrence of the defect called weld decay.
8. What is the temperature needed for preheating in cast irons?
a) 550°C
b) 600°C
c) 650°C
d) 700°C
Answer: b
Clarification: Cast irons, upon the removal of welding heat, get

solidified very quickly. This solidification takes place due to the
surrounding cold mass and the air around. Because of such quick
cooling, the carbon gets retained and hard metal stays in the weld.
To overcome this, cast irons have to be preheated to 600°C.
9. Low carbon steels need not be preheated before welding.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: Carbon steels which contain carbon in a very low

amount are not compulsorily required to be preheated before
undergoing welding if the large runs are made. This is because, in
low carbon steels, unlike high carbon steels, there is no cracking seen
on welding.
10. Carbon steels can be fusion welded.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: Carbon steels are best treated using forge welding,

resistance welding, arc welding or by gas welding. Carbon steels
essentially cannot be fusion welded, because, of the occurrence of
cracks which may cause due to carbon pick up.
