Q

Stainless steel

  • small droplets of metal are sent through the arc by directional force.
  • used where gravity could be a factor
A

Spray arc transfer

26
Q

Methods of filler wire transfer… Stainless steel

A
  • spray arc transfer
  • short-circuiting transfer
  • globular transfer
27
Q

Travel an work angles are…

A

The same as you would use for mild steel

28
Q
  • Tip increases 2-3 times the electrode diameter before separating.
  • common problems: (excessive spatter, poor arc stability, poor penetration)
A

Globular transfer

29
Q

Stainless steel
-makes smaller puddles
-arc extinguishes and arcs again 20-200 times per second:
(cools the puddle, shallow penetration)

A

Short- circuiting transfer

30
Q

Welding process that uses an arc between a continuous filler metal electrode and weld pool..

A

MIG

31
Q

Mig requires a power supply unit that produces ____ or ____..

A

Q

True.. False.. Mig is the faster welding process.

A

True

35
Q

Recommended type of machine for mig welding…

A

Rectifier or motor generator

36
