Module 7: GTAW
1. Copper-coated mild steel filler metals used for oxyacetylene welding are NOT
recommended for GTAW.
2. Filler metals used for GTAW are similar in classification as those used for GMAW.
3. Filler metal must be of the same composition as the base metal.
4. You do not always use filler metal when welding with the GTAW process.
5. The electrode classification EWP indicates a pure tungsten electrode.
6. It is necessary to keep the hot end of the filler wire in the gas-shielding zone.
7. GTAW produces no spatter and requires limited post-weld cleaning.
8. Shielding gas flow rates should be Increased when welding in the overhead
position.
9. GTAW is a good process for high quality welds on a wide variety of metals.
10. GTAW is also commonly referred to as Tungsten Inert Gas and Heliarc Welding.
11. Ceriated Tungsten
12. 2% Thoriated Tungsten

29. Filler metal with an AWS classification of ER308 is used to weld Stainless steel.
30. Filler metal with an AWS classification of ER70S-X is used to weld Carbon steel.
31. Filler metal with an AWS classification of ER4043 is used to weld Aluminum.
32. The voltage present when the welding machine power switch is in the ON position,
but no welding is taking place is called Open-Circuit voltage.
33. The approximate percentage of the heat of the arc directed toward the electrode
when welding with DCEP is 70%.
34. Tungsten is used for GTAW electrodes because it has which of the following
properties? High melting point, Low electrical resistance and Good heat conductivity
35. An EWTh-2 electrode is
2% Thoriated tungsten.
36.
