Welding Questions and Answers – Thermit Welding

This set of Welding Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Thermit Welding”.

1. In an iron thermit, how many moles of aluminium reacts with three moles of iron oxide to give nine moles of iron?
a) 6
b) 7
c) 8
d) 9
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The thermit process, which is used for welding depends on the chemical reaction between oxide of iron and aluminium metal. According to this reaction, when 8 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of iron oxide, then, 4 moles of aluminium oxide and 9 moles of iron is formed.

2. In the given figure of thermit welding apparatus, what does the question mark represents which part?
Crucible of thermit welding apparatus for fusion welding process
a) Sand plug
b) Crucible
c) Wax pattern
d) Slag basin
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Around the parts which are to be united, superheated liquid steel is poured, which then effects in forming the weld. This process, hence, is a fusion welding process. The part represented by the question mark is the crucible.

3. In the given figure of thermit welding apparatus, what does the question mark represents which part?
Slag basin of thermit welding apparatus
a) Sand plug
b) Crucible
c) Wax pattern
d) Slag basin
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: None.

4. In the given figure of thermit welding apparatus, what does the question mark represents which part?
Wax pattern of thermit welding apparatus made up of wax in fusion welding
a) Riser
b) Workpiece
c) Runner
d) Wax pattern
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: In this apparatus of the thermit welding process, the question mark here represents the pattern made up of wax. This process is basically carried out in fusion welding.

5. In the given figure of thermit welding apparatus, what does the question mark represents which part?
The figure is workpiece of thermit welding apparatus
a) Riser
b) Workpiece
c) Runner
d) Wax pattern
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: None.

6. In the given figure of thermit welding apparatus, what does the question mark represents which part?
Runner carried out at fusion welding of thermit welding apparatus
a) Riser
b) Workpiece
c) Runner
d) Wax pattern
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: In this figure, the question mark is represented by the runner. This process is carried out at fusion welding.

7. In the given figure of thermit welding apparatus, what does the question mark represents which part?
Sand plug of thermit welding apparatus effects in forming the weld
a) Riser
b) Runner
c) Sand plug
d) Preheating
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The part represented by the question mark is the sand plug. Superheated liquid steel is poured, which then effects in forming the weld. This process, hence, is a fusion welding process.

8. After the achievement of welding temperature, electrical connections are established to complete the weld.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The superheated melt is heated from the crucible gets poured around the metal parts. As the welding temperature is achieved, there is an application of mechanical pressure to the weld.

9. What is the magnitude of temperature produced in a thermit reaction?
a) 2500°C
b) 3000°C
c) 3500°C
d) 4000°C
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Thermit welding is called as fusion welding. A superheated melt operates in this type of melt. The heat that is produced has the temperature approximately twice than that of the melting point of steel, which is about 3000°C.

10. Thermit welding is used for making rail tracks.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A superheated melt operates in this type of melt. The production of pipes, rail tracks, shafts or big gears can be done using thermit pressure welding. Thermit welding is called as fusion welding.
