True or false welders should prevent water from contacting clothes gloves and metal to be welded
True
True or false perspiration (sweating) poses a safety risk for electric arc welding
True
Electrodes are to be placed in an electrode holder when?
Only when a weld is to be completed, remove electrodes whenever you set the electrode holder down.
the 60 in a 6010 electrode means what?
Tensile Strength60 000 PSI
The 1 in a 6010 electrode mean what?
Position, All positions in this case.
What do the last two digits represent in a 6010 electrode?
Chemical composition and polarity, cellulose and DCEP in this case.
What does the 2 in a 7024 electrode represent?
position, Flat and Horizontal
what does the E stand for in a E 6010?
Electrode
Which electrode has better penetration 6010 or 7024
6010
Which electrode has iron powder as a large portion of its flux 6010 or 7024?
7024
What is the advantage of a 7018 electrode
Low hydrogen, stronger more reliable welds with a lower chance of welds faults.
What are the five functions of flux?
Electric arc characteristics, alloying elements, producing protective gaseous shield, producing protective slag coating, & deoxidizing and fluxing agents.
