The specimen had a cross-sectional area (CSA) of 25mm x 12mm and withstood a maximum load of 150kN. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is 500N/mm2. Of the 10 welds tested, 7 passed but 3 failed. According to the code, one failure is allowed so retesting of additional welds is required. An all-weld tensile test specimen that originally had a 50mm gauge length stretched to 60mm after testing, so the elongation percentage is 20%. Excess weld metal is removed from cross-weld tensile specimens to more accurately calculate the cross-sectional area and reduce stress concentrations.

1) In a welding procedure transverse joint tensile test the following

observations were made. The specimen CSA was recorded as 25mm x


12mm and the maximum load applied was recorded as 150kN. What is
the UTS?

a. 50kN/mm2

b. 5500N/mm2

c. 500N/mm2

d. 50N/mm2

2) In welder qualification testing of 10mm plates, 2 root and 2 face bends


were test … what course of action would you follow?

a. Accept them as 75% were acceptable, you are allowed one failure

b. 2 more root bends should be prepared and tested

c. 2 more root and 2 more face bends should be prepared and tested

d. Retest the welder

3) In an all weld tensile test, the original specimen gauge length was
50mm, and after the test the increased gauge length was 60mm, what is
the elongation percentage?

a. %A is 50

b. %A is 20

c. %A is 29

d. %A is 36
4) Some codes require the excess weld metal (weld cap) on cross weld
joint tensile specimens to be flush, this is because:

a. Flushed caps will always break in the weld metal area

b. This is to remove any porosity in the excess weld metal (weld cap)

It is easier to calculate the cross sectional area of the joint when


c.
flushed

Flushed caps have fewer stress raisers and therefore give a more
d.
accurate result

5) When transverse tensile testing a welded joint the excess weld metal
is often removed. This action is done to:

a. Allow the test piece to fit accurately into the equipment

b. Reduce stress concentrations to the weld toes

c. Allow strain gauges to be placed over the weld face area

d. Allow weld metal ductility to be measured

6) In welder qualification testing of 20mm plates, why are side bends


used instead of root and face bends:

a. They are easier to produce

b. The testing equipment cannot handle thick root/face bends

c. Root defects are not important for welder qualification

d. They give more accurate indications


7) Mechanical tests are divided into two areas, identify these from the
list below:

a. Destructive and non destructive tests

b. Qualitative and quantitative

c. Visual and mechanical

d. Qualitative and visual

8) When examining a completed bend test, the angle of the bend was
found to be 175o. The testing specification calls for the sample to have
been formed through 180o.

a. The bends should be considered as falled

b. They should be bent to 180o then re-examined

They should be acceptable as the reduction in angle is due to material


c.
spring back

They should be rejected as the angle is not close enough to be


d.
acceptable
9) Charpy testing is carried out on a welding procedure test plate
because?

It gives an indication of the through thickness ductility (in the Z


a.
direction)

The impact test results can be used to verify that the material has not
b.
been adversely affected by the heat of the welding

c. It gives an indication of the materials elongation properties

It gives a quick indication of the weld quality for welder qualification


d.
tests

10) Charpy impact tests show a 50% rough torn surface and a 50% flat
crystalline surface after the completed test, this would indicate which
type of failure?

a. Fatigue to brittle

b. Ductile to brittle

c. Ductile with gross yielding

d. Fatigue to ductile
