Stick It
This process is also known a Stick welding.
What is SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING?
This is the molten pool of metal created during welding.
What is the WELD PUDDLE?
This forms on top of the weld bead and must be removed after welding.
What is SLAG?
These heated storage containers are used to keep low-hydrogen electrodes dry.
What are ROD OVENS/ ELECTRODE OVEN?
What is a WELDING HELMET?
Whais is ELECTRODE?
This welding defect occurs when the weld metal fails to properly fuse with the base metal.
What is LACK OF FUSION?
This defect occurs when small gas pockets become trapped in the weld metal.
What is POROSITY?
What is DCEP (DIRECT CURRENT ELECTRODE POSITIVE)?
This is the number/psi that acetylene becomes unstable and can explode.
What is 15PSI?
What is ALL POSITIONS?
This welding defect appears as a groove melted into the base metal next to the weld toe.
What is UNDERCUT?
This term describes the distance between the electrode tip and the weld puddle.
What is ARC LENGTH?
What destructive test is commonly used to evaluate weld quality in certification tests?
What is a BEND TEST?
This safety hazard occurs when eyes are exposed to intense ultraviolet light form the are.
What is ARC FLASH?
This electrode is a low-hydrogen rod widely used for structural welding.
What is E7018?
The recommended arc length in SMAW is usually about equal to this.
What is the DIAMETER OF THE ELECTRODE CORE WIRE?
This power source setting determines how strong the welding arc is.
What is amperage?
Why must low-hydrogen electrodes like E7018 be stored in rod ovens?
What is TO PREVENT MOISTURE ABSORPTION THAT CAN CAUSE HYDROGEN CRACKING?
his invisible hazard occurs when welding current travels through the body due to poor grounding or damaged insulation.
What is ELECTRIC SHOCK?
In E7018, the number 70 represents this property of the weld metal.
What is 70,000 PSI TENSILE STRENGTH?
What defect occurs when weld metal spills over base metal without fusion?
What is OVERLAP?
This electrode manipulation technique involves pausing at the edges of the weld to ensure proper fusion before moving across the puddle.
What is the weave technique with sidewall pause?
What is IMPROPER CLEANING BETWEEN PASSES OR INCORRECT WELDING TECHNIQUE?
This dangerous radiation produced by the welding arc can cause “arc eye.”
What is ultraviolet (UV) radiation?
