AWS A5.5

18
Q

List three purposes of the electrode covering

A
  1. Create a protective gas shield around the arc and molten metal
  2. Create flux to clean impurities from the molten metal
  3. Create a hard slag covering to protect the molten weld base as it cools
  4. Improve mechanical and chemical properties of the weld by adding alloying elements to the weld metal
  5. Provide additional filler metal to the weld
  6. Determine the current type and polarity specifications of the electrode
19
Q

Why would you add iron powder to electrode covering compounds?

A

To deposit more filler metal into the weld in a given length of time to reduce welding time and decreases welding cost.

20
Q

_____________ in a completed weld lowers it strength.

A

Hydrogen. Low hydrogen electrodes deposits a minimum amount of hydrogen into the weld.
