Question

question 7 what are some methods of minimizing distortion? clamping metal in place heavy tack welds alternate welds preheat presetting work pieces question 8 using intermittent welds can aid in reducing distortion. true false

Explanation:

Clamping metal in place restricts movement to reduce distortion. Alternate welds distribute heat evenly. Preheat reduces thermal stress. Presetting work - pieces can counteract distortion forces. Intermittent welds (similar to alternate welds) reduce heat input and thus distortion. Heavy tack welds may cause more distortion due to concentrated heat.

Answer:

• clamping metal in place
• alternate welds
• preheat
• presetting work pieces
