Work Sheet 1

1 Match the followings in terms of current

Transformers DC
Rectifiers AC
Generators AC or DC

2 Match Followings

AC flow of current in one direction

DCEP One third of the available heat energy is

generated at the tip of the electrode

DCEN two thirds of the available heat energy at the

tip of the electrode

DC distribution of heat energy at the arc is

equal, 50% at the electrode, 50% at the
workpiece

3 What is the average temperature of Arc during SMAW Welding process ?

4 What is the purpose of Flux Coating in SMAW electrode ?

5 Match the followings

Amperage too high Excessive spatter, porosity, arc wander,

Arc voltage too high
Arc voltage too low
Amperage too high
irregular weld bead shape, slag inclusions,
fluid weld pool making positional welding
difficult.
Poor penetration, electrode stubbing,
lack of fusion defects, p o t e n t i a l for arc
strikes, slag inclusion, unstable arc
condition, irregular weld bead shape.
Excessive penetration, burn through,
undercut, spatter, porosity, deep craters,
electrode damage due to overheating,
high deposition making positional welding
difficult
Poor fusion or penetration, irregular weld
bead shape, slag inclusion unstable arc,
arc stumble, porosity, potential arc strikes
 6 match all three columns
Basic electrodes Contain a high Easily removable
proportion of slag
cellulose
Rutile electrodes contain a high Deep penetration in
proportion of all positions
calcium carbonate
(limestone) and
calcium fluoride
Cellulosic electrodes contain a high Slag removal difficult
proportion of
titanium oxide
(rutile) in the
coating.

7 In TIG Weld penetration is directly related to welding current, WHAT WILL

HAPPEN IF CURRENT IS LOW ?
8 Polarity in TIG Welding ?
9 Shielding gas flow rates are typically in the range of?
10 Back purging should continue until how many layers of weld?
