Which term describes the solidified material on top of a weld?

Bead
Flux
Slag
Tensile strength

The correct answer is: Slag

Slag is the solidified material on top of a weld. It is formed from the impurities that rise to the surface during the welding process. The other options do not describe the material on top of a weld. A bead is the visible ridge that is formed when welding two pieces of metal together. Flux is a substance used to remove impurities during welding. Tensile strength is a measure of the welding material's ability to withstand forces without breaking. None of these terms describe the solidified material on top of a weld. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
