This document contains a 17 question multiple choice quiz on welding topics for a CSWIP 3.1 certification. The quiz covers questions on welding processes like MMA, TIG, and SAW; welding techniques like slope in; welding defects like arc blow and lamellar tearing; welding consumables; post-weld heat treatment; and non-destructive testing methods. It also lists 7 theory questions asked in a February 2007 CSWIP 3.1 exam related to welding inspector duties, electrode classifications, hard stamping limitations, TIG processes, hydrogen cracking causes, welding procedure tests, and lamellar tearing.
