Question 5*
TIG welding is also known as:
- GTAW
- STAW
- GMAW
- MIAW
Question 6*
In Stick Welding, the shielding gas comes from:
- A gas tank filled with inert gas, flowed onto the work piece
- The stick; it creates a shielding gas during the welding operation
- There is no shielding gas
- The filler rod fed into the melt pool
Question 7*
The filler material for MIG welding comes from:
- The operator feeding a filler rod into the melt pool
- The machine is set to the appropriate current source (DCEN or AC)
