SMAW NC II REVIEWER

ORAL QUESTIONING
High wind velocity can cause porosities
in weld, what must be done to prevent
this from happening?

CLEAN THE WORK PLACE

AREA BEFORE WELDING
What are the welding parameters that
must be considered to produce quality
weld?

C- Current Setting
L- Length of Arc
A- Angle of Electrode
S- Speed of Travel
S- Selection of Electrode
What is the ideal length of arc?
What is the effect of too long arc?

- Depends upon the size of electrode

used. (3.2 mm)
- Thin weld bead
What is the effect on weld if the
electrode is held too closely to the
material being welded?

too wide weld bead

How can we prevent weld related
injuries?

Use proper PPE (Personal

Protective Equipment)
How can we avoid Electric Shock during
welding?

- use PPE
- Always check the electrode holder
cable and ground cable
 What causes warpage or distortion?

- excessive heat input

- high amperage
What should be done to prevent
warpage or distortion?

Back-step welding technique

What is the cause of poor penetration and
incomplete fusion?

Presence of dirt/oil/ rust on the

workpiece.
What is back step welding and why is
this technique applied?

to avoid distortion/ war page

How would you prevent the occurrence of
slag inclusion and undercut?

Always clean the work piece

What are the advantages of SMAW
processes?

- low cost
- portable
- versatility
