A

A circular field

37
Q

What does burning the part do to the chemical make up?

A

Slightly changes metallurgical properties and hardens part

38
Q

If you have a fair amount of material but a low contact area, how should you choose amperage?

A

Start LOW - 12 (instead of 20)

39
Q

What pushes the current and gets it flowing?

A

Voltage

40
Q

Why is dry powder more sensitive to deeper line defects?

A

They’re bigger and irregularly shaped

41
Q

What is the effective surface area?

A

Amount of surface area that can be covered on the outside of the part is 4x the diameter of centre conductor
