GTAW Process Questions
1) Depending on the type of sharpening we give to the tip of the electrode in the process of
GTAW welding helps us weld different types of materials, based on this
Complete criterion: which materials can I weld with the electrodes in the figure.
2) Through a method known as _lift arc_ which allows the electrode to touch the
piece before starting the arc and when_____lifting it__ makes the arc start.
In TIG electric welding, high purity ______inert______ gases are used to
protect the electrode and the basin.
4) To weld aluminum with the GTAW process, alternating and high current is used.
frequency
5) In the GTAW process, the controlled temperature system ensures welds of a
good finish and splash-free.
The GTAW process is especially used for penetration and high-quality welds.
In GTAW, the contact of the electrode with the piece can leave tungsten inclusions.
in the workpiece.
To weld stainless steel with GTAW, I use the type of current __DC-_with gas
Argon
1) The ER 70S-6 filler rod is generally applicable for welding which material:
Sweet Steel.
2) The 2 main disadvantages of the GTAW process are:
High costs of equipment
Low productivity in thicknesses greater than 4 mm
3) The stick out in GTAW ranges from:
5-8 mm
4) With which electrode and with what gas do I weld mild steel with GTAW:
Tungsten-thorium electrode (W-Th)
With argon or helium.
5) What name and color is given to the tungsten electrode with 2% thorium?

Red color
6) Mencione 2 causas por las cuales se puede producir un arco irregular en la soldadura
TIG electric
The base metal is dirty
The joint is too narrow
The bow is too long
The electrode oscillates with lamination
7) The filler rods ER-308L, ER-316L what type of materials are welded:
Stainless steel
8) Mencione 2 ventajas del proceso GTAW comparado con otros procesos de soldadura.
The welded surface is clean, without slag or flux residues.
It allows for easier welding of thin materials.
Suitable for critical welds (root pass).
The process can be mechanized or robotized.
The arc is visible and facilitates welding in hard-to-reach places.
Optimal mechanical resistances of the welded joint.
Low smoke generation.
Versatility - it welds practically all metals industrially
used.
9) Mention the main variables in the welding process:
Current intensity
Arc voltage
Welding speed
10) What number of eye protection glass would you recommend for TIG welding:
Number 15
Write true (T) or false (F) for each of the following questions:
In the GTAW process, active gases are used to protect the weld: (F)
The lift arc command means to gradually increase the current intensity until it
fixed on the power supply (F)
3) If I weld with CCEN in GTAW, I achieve a deep and narrow penetration.
4) If stainless steel with CCEN, tungsten-thorium electrode with argon gas
I get little penetration.
5) The electrode should not touch the workpiece in GTAW as there could be
tungsten inclusions in welding: (V)
The ER-4043 filler rod is used for welding Aluminum.
In the GTAW process, when welding thicknesses greater than 4 mm, a high
productivity
8) With the GTAW process, I can only weld Aluminum and Mild Steel: (F)
9) In the GTAW process, I can weld with alternating current and direct current:
