Q

When using reverse polarity the electrode is connected to the _______ terminal

A

Positive

20
Q

Straight polarity will cause________?

A

Shallow penetration

21
Q

When checking polarity use a _____________ rod to check which terminal the electrode is connected to. Reverse polarity will be quoted than straight polarity

A

e6010

22
Q

If slag gets into the weld it will cause it to fail.

True of false

A

True

23
Q

A general rule for setting the amperage on the welding machines is?

A

Turning the rod metal width to a decimal.

Example 1/8 rod = .125 so 125 amps

24
Q

Electrode coatings help by?

A

Protects the weld pool and molten end of electrode

Keeps out oxygen and nitrogen from he weld area

Form a slag to cover the weld deposite

25

Type of coating and polarity

28
Q

A plug weld is_______?

A

Used in a hole where 2 plates are lapped over each other

29
Q

A stringer bead width should be _______ times the electrode core wire diameter

A

2-3 times

30
Q

What are the 4 types of passes?

A

Root-first past deepest penetration

Fill pass- heavy beads are laid, maybe stringer or weave

Cover pass- a thin weave coating used to produce a good blend with the plate and to eliminate undercut

Fill and finish pass- a heavy pass designed to fill the groove and produce a finished surface at the same time

31
Q

A

Major weld faults

33
Q

Scratch or tapping

A

Tapping method would be best

34
Q

Holding the electrode at 90 degrees to the work will result in?

A

Less penetration
