Question 3: How does "Plasma Arc Welding" (PAW) improve the quality and precision of aerospace welds, especially for high-performance components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Plasma arc welding uses a focused plasma arc to create a high-energy weld with minimal distortion, making it ideal for high-precision aerospace applications

PAW is irrelevant for high-strength materials

PAW is slower and more expensive than traditional welding methods

PAW only applies to composite materials

Question 4: How does the bending strength of a composite material relate to its application in aerospace?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It evaluates the material's resistance to fatigue under cyclic loading

It is used to test the material's resistance to corrosion

It measures the material's resistance to thermal expansion

It determines the material's ability to withstand bending stresses without failure, important for structural components

Question 5: When analyzing a fracture surface, what characteristic indicates that the failure is due to fatigue?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

A rough surface with areas of localized deformation

A smooth and shiny fracture surface with no distinct features

The presence of crack growth patterns such as striations or beach marks

A jagged surface with signs of corrosion

Question 6: What is the role of "Fractography" in failure analysis, and how does it help in determining the cause of material failure in aerospace?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Fractography involves analyzing the fracture surface of failed materials to identify the failure mechanism, such as fatigue or stress corrosion

Fractography is only useful for electrical systems, not structural components

Fractography is irrelevant when failure is due to thermal fatigue

Fractography only applies to metallic materials, not composites
