Welding)
*True or False:* A concave root surface is caused by the wire being too far back in the
puddle. - ✔️✔️*True:* A concave root surface is caused by the wire being too far back
in the puddle.

Name some types of ferrous metal - ✔️✔️*Ferrous Metal Types*
- *Mild Steel* - Carbon content of 0.1 to 0.3% and Iron content of 99.7 - 99.9%. Used for
engineering purposes and in general, none specialized metal products.
- *Carbon steel* - Carbon content of 0.6 to 1.4% and Iron content of 98.6 to 99.4 %.
Used to make cutting tools such as drill bits.
*Stainless Steel* - Made up of Iron, nickel and chromium. Resists staining and corrosive
and is therefore used for the likes of cutlery and surgical instrumentation.
*Cast Iron* - carbon 2 - 6% and Iron at 94 to 98%. Very strong but brittle. Used to
manufacture items such as engine blocks and manhole covers.
*Wrong Iron* - Composed of almost 100% iron. Used to make items such as ornamental
gates and fencing. Has fallen out of use somewhat.
