Many of us agree that there is more to welding than simply having the ablity to deposit a pretty looking weld bead.
One of the factors used when selecting the best welder in the Welder's Competition at the Welder's Rendezvous was a written test. Not only did we evaluate and test the welded test piece, we used the written test to assess the contestant's knowledge of a few welding fundamentals.
I have attached the fifteen question test so you can give it a go. Post your answers and I'll post my answers in a few days.
Good luck.
