What is 70,000 psi (or 70 ksi)?
The term used to describe the period of time you can operate a machine without stopping.
What is a duty cycle?
The term for the protective coating outside of the weld that makes all the impurities rise to the surface.
What is slag?

What is 10-12?
What is tensile strength?
Two advantages of SMAW over MIG.
Answers may vary, but could include:
* SMAW doesn't require a shielding gas
* SMAW can be used on a variety of metal types
etc.
What SMAW stands for.
Two safety features you MUST look for when walking up to your station to weld.
(May also say no frayed wires on machine, etc.)

The 2 most common methods for striking an arc.
What are tapping and scratching?
What is the flux coating?
Four PPE items required for SMAW.
What are long-sleeve cotton shirt, jeans, boots/close-toed shoes, safety glasses, leather gauntlet-styled gloves, shade 10-12 welding helmet?
(any 4 of the above)
The definition for tensile strength.
What is the amount of force required to break a weld?
The safest way to tack welds.
What is using pliers and keeping your face shield down?
The difference between AC and DC.

Your own words for what happens during the SMAW process.
What is a welding process that uses the flux coating of an electrode to create a shield to protect a weld?
Airgas definition:
"The process uses shielding from the decomposition of the electrode covering, without the application of pressure, and with filler metal from the electrode"
Ms. Meyer definition:
"SMAW is an arc welding process with an arc between a covered electrode and the weld pool"
