Insulates the bead from the contaminates in the surrounding atmosphere

Definition of SMAW

Is the process in which the arc is shielded by the decomposition of the electrode covering

Mild and low alloy steels

What is "the law" on how electrical equipment is to be installed?

National Electric Code "NEC"

When welding two pieces of different thicknesses where do you want to concentrate the heat?

On the thickest piece. This will help prevent burning away the thinnest piece.

When is the range switch to be operated?

Only when the machine is idling and the current is open

What are the limitations of SMAW?

Operator duty cycle and over all deposition rates, Usually less for covered electrodes than with a continuous electrode process, SMAW electrodes have a fixed length, Welding must be stopped and the slag must be removed after each electrode has been consumed before welding can be continued, Not all metals can be welded with this process due to the heat output and chemistry make up of certain non-ferrous metals.

Reverse Polarity

In OVERHEAD Welding what must you do to the AMP'S?

Stray current

What are the 2 ways of striking the arc?

Tapping and Scratching methods- Raise the electrode 3/8" to 1/2" to preheat the metal.

The Polarity

What shields the weld arc and molten pool from contaminates in the surrounding atmosphere?

The Vapor

The flux

What must you not operate while the machine is under load?

What does the Hot Pass penetrate?

The root pass and the root face

The electrode should not be larger than what?

The thickness of metal being welded.

Triangular weave, rotary weave, zigzag weave

What do you do when you're completely done with welding?

Vertical down is 15-30 degree DRAG, Vertical up is 10-15 degree PUSH

If the cable diameter is to large what will happen?

Voltage will drop

What is the difference between Volts and AMP'S?

Volts-The force that causes current to flow in a circuit. AMP'S-The amount or rate of current that flows in a circuit.

What causes undercutting?

When the amperage is too high

Typical motions for overhead position welding?

Zigzag weave, rotary weave

Cap or cover pass

adds additional reinforcement to the weld and adds a nice appearance

Filler pass

fills the remaining portion of the weld after the root pass

Root Pass
