Stainless steel is welded using
A. oxy-acetylene flame
B. oxy-hydrogen flame
C. arc welding
D. inert gas arc welding
The nature of submerged arc welding flux with basicity index of 0.5 is
A. neutral
B. basic
C. semi-basic
D. acidic
Lap joints are preferred over butt joints in soldering/brazing because
A. these are weaker in tension but stronger in shear
B. these are weaker in shear but stronger in tension
C. these are stronger in both shear and tension
D. the lap joints are easily made
For a good quality brazing, the molten filler alloy should have
A. low contact angle with the base metal
B. low density
C. high surface tension
D. high viscosity
Lap joint provides larger surface area for filler material bonding significantly increasing strength compared to butt so the provide stronger shear and tension the correct answer should be option c.
