AME 8 Q8

1 / 5

Question:

Which welding/brazing/soldering process is best suited for attaching a brass flange to a stainless steel pipe, and why?

B. TIG Welding: Provides precise control and is effective for welding stainless steel but may not be ideal for brass due to differences in melting points and potential issues with joint integrity.

D. Soldering: Utilizes a low-temperature filler metal that may not provide the necessary strength or durability for attaching a brass flange to a stainless steel pipe.

A. Brazing: Uses a filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metals, which can effectively join brass and stainless steel without melting the base materials and provides a strong, durable joint.

C. MIG Welding: Suitable for high-speed welding but may not be ideal for joining brass and stainless steel due to differences in material properties and potential issues with spatter and heat control.

2 / 5

Which welding/brazing/soldering process is best suited for re-attaching a section of a broken flange on a cast iron pump casing, and why?

D. Soldering: Employs a low-temperature filler metal, which is not suitable for high-strength or high-temperature applications such as re-attaching a broken flange on a cast iron pump casing.

C. MIG Welding: Typically used for thinner materials and may not be suitable for cast iron due to potential difficulties in managing heat and avoiding cracks.

A. Brazing: Utilizes a filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metal, which can effectively join cast iron without the need for high temperatures that could cause further damage to the pump casing.

B. TIG Welding: Provides high precision and control but may not be ideal for cast iron due to the high temperatures involved, which could lead to further cracking or thermal stress in the cast iron.

3 / 5

Which welding/brazing/soldering process is best suited for attaching a stainless steel handrail to a steel hull, and why?

D. Soldering: Utilizes a low-temperature filler metal and is generally not suitable for structural applications like attaching a handrail to a steel hull due to its lower strength and durability.

B. MIG Welding: Suitable for high-speed welding and can handle different materials but may require careful control of parameters to avoid issues with spatter and heat, which might be less ideal for stainless steel and steel combinations.

A. TIG Welding: Provides precise control and produces clean, high-quality welds with minimal spatter, making it ideal for welding stainless steel to steel due to its ability to handle different materials and produce strong, clean joints.

C. Brazing: Uses a filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metals, but might not be as strong or durable for critical structural applications like handrails compared to welding.

4 / 5

Question:

Which welding/brazing/soldering process is best suited for attaching a 1.0 mm steel section to a 10 mm thick deckhead plate, and why?

C. Brazing: Uses a filler metal with a lower melting point but may not provide sufficient penetration and strength for welding thin sections to much thicker plates, especially in structural applications.

B. TIG Welding: Offers precise control and high-quality welds but may not be the most efficient for welding thin sections to much thicker plates due to the slower process and potential difficulties with heat management.

D. Soldering: Employs a low-temperature filler metal, which is not suitable for joining different thicknesses of steel sections due to its insufficient strength and durability for such applications.

A. MIG Welding: Provides a good balance of speed and control, making it suitable for welding thin sections to thicker plates while offering consistent results and effective penetration.

5 / 5

Which welding/brazing/soldering process is best suited for joining two lengths of aluminium bronze seawater pipe with the same diameter, and why?

D. Soldering: Utilizes a low-temperature filler metal and is not suitable for high-strength applications like aluminium bronze pipes due to its lower strength and durability.

A. TIG Welding: Provides precise control over the welding process and produces high-quality welds with minimal spatter, making it ideal for the thin-walled aluminium bronze pipes.

C. Brazing: Uses a filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metal, allowing for a strong bond between the aluminium bronze pipes without melting the base material.

B. MIG Welding: Suitable for thicker materials but may not be the best choice for aluminium bronze pipes due to the potential for excessive spatter and the need for a more controlled environment.
