Electric Arc
Thousand psi tensile strength
Position
Characteristics of the electrode
What are 3 things you must be aware of to run a good bead
Position, speed, distance from metal
When electrons go from the electrode to the metal it is electrode negative
Negative
Electrodes has a blank coating
Flux
Electric arc welding is
Shielded metal arc welding
DC flows from
Electrode to ground
Extra metal is
Slag
List the 3 types of electric arc welders and their current
Transformer AC
Generator DC
Transformer Rectifier AC/DC
What is the purpose of flux
It creates a series of chemical reactions that shield the weld
Ferrous
Non magnetic
List personal gear you need
Head covering, helmet, eye shields, safety glasses, ear protection, breathing equipment, suitable shirt(leather or cotton), gloves, proper pants, safety shoes with steel toe.
Voltage
Volt-electrical pressure
Amperage
Amps-rate
Ohm’s resistance
Creates heat
When volts increase amps increase or decrease
Decrease
