Most welding processes produce a(n) ____ in which the metals are heated over a range of temperatures.
A) thermal cycle
B) fusion cycle
C) interpass temperature
D) phase change

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Welding processes involve heating the metal to high temperatures, which creates a thermal cycle. The thermal cycle consists of various stages, including preheating, welding, and cooling. This process can affect the metallurgical properties of the metal and must be controlled to minimize distortion and maintain desired mechanical properties. The other options, such as fusion cycle and interpass temperature, are specific aspects of the thermal cycle in certain welding processes.
