T/F The primary purpose of a shielding gas being present during the welding process is to protect the molten puddle form atmospheric contamination

T/F Changing the length of the arc while welding does not change the heat of the arc

T/F With SMAW, the primary reason starting the arc is more difficult than maintaining the arc is because the gas at the arc strike is not fully ionized

T/F Using a weave pattern while placing a bead will increase the amount of heat in the weldment

T/F When a weld symbol is both above and under the reference line, it means that welds are to be completed on both sides of the joint

T/F An outside corner joint creates the geometry for a groove weld

T/F Pipe welding is comprised mostly of fillet welds

T/F A square groove weld requires some type of mechanical joint preparation prior to fit-up

T/F A lap joint creates the geometry for fillet welds

To increase penetration of a bead, you should select which welding polarity?

Which polarity is also referred to as reverse polarity?

Changes in the welding arc length will also change the following electrical characteristics?

T/F Metals are joined using the arc welding process when two pieces of metal are heated to their melting point and additional metal is added to the molten puddle. This molten mass cools and solidifies into one solid piece

T/F DCEN polarity is used when welding in the GMAW process
