If you choose level 2 or 3, then after finishing the test, you will see an answer to each question like below:

The A.C. that provides the cathodic cleaning in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) referred to as...

1) Neutralizing

2) Anodizing

3) Sputtering

4) Charging

The correct answer to this question is (3). Sputtering: Alternating current that provides a cathodic cleaning (sputtering) that removes refractory oxides from the surfaces of the weld joint, which is necessary for welding aluminum and magnesium. Page 25 under Topic 5.3.1.

Option (1) is incorrect as it provides a very fade concept of charge neutralization. Option (2) is incorrect because Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts, which is irrelevant to this topic. Option (4) is not correct as it is a very generic term and insufficient to define this process. The process of electromagnetic induction leading to charging occurs many times during the welding process, but option (4) does not provide any specific hint or information related to GTAW, which makes it irrelevant.
