What type of coating is an E4311?
- basic
- rutile

cellulosic
What does the third digit (E4918) of an SMAW electrode designation represent?
- alloy content
- yield strength
- flux type/polarity
- useable positions
useable positions
What does the last digit (ER49S-6) of a GMAW electrode designation represent?
- alloy content
- yield strength
- flux type/polarity
- useable positions
alloy content
The shielding gas compostion for semi-automatic welding is important because:
- the drive rolls wear out faster with argon mixes
- the strength and brittleness of the weld is affected
- the acetylene will clog up the gun liner
- the parts must be post-braze annealed
the strength and brittleness of the weld is affected
Submergered arc welding producedures always identify a flux/electrodes combination. Why?
- changing either flux of electrode affects weld properties
- changing either flux or electrode makes the designation longer
- changing either flux or electrode affects useable polarity
- changing either flux of electrode affects positions of useablity
changing either flux of electrode affects weld properties
how are stainless steel electrodes identified?
- by yield strength
- by tensile strength
- by corrosion resistance
- by alloy designation
