High wind velocity can cause porosities in weld, What must be done to
prevent this from happening?
ANSWER:
Current setting
Length of arc
Angle of electrode
Manipulation of electrode ( weaving or stringer)
Speed of travel
3. What is the ideal length of arc? What is the effect to long arc?
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
Use appropriate welding PPEs
Proper handling of equipment, tools and materials
Awareness to safety practices.
6. How would you avoid electric shock during welding?
ANSWER:
Ground all electrical equipment and the work piece.
Use recommended cable size.
Make sure all electrical connections are tight, clean and dry
Keep work area, equipment and clothing dry at all times
Keep cables and connectors in good condition at all times
Avoid open-circuit voltage.
Wear insulated gloves when adjusting equipment.
Follow safety standards.
7. What should be done to prevent warpage or distortion?
ANSWER:
Do not over weld.
Use intermittent welding.
Use as few weld passes as possible.
Use backstep welding
Anticipate shrinkage forces.
Use clamps, jigs and fixtures to lock parts in position.
Remove shrinkage forces after welding ( perform peening
and/ or stress relieving.
8. What causes warpage distortion?
ANSWER:
Insufficient root gap.
Too low welding current.
Too slow travel speed.
Incorrect torch angle.
10. What is stress- relieving and why is it performed?
11. What is back step welding and why is this technique applied?
12. How would you prevent the occurrence of slag inclusion and
undercut?
ANSWER:
Insufficient cleaning of weld causes slag inclusion
High current causes undercut.
13. What are the advantages of SMAW process?
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
Be sure electrode will operate on welding current being
used.
Electrode must match base metal properties.
Electrode must be appropriate size for the job.
