What is difference between welding rod and electrode?
welding rod is used without applying current through it while the other one is, current is passing thru it..i.e. Welding rods are used in TIG welding process while Electrodes (E6011, E6013, E7017..etc..) is used in SMAW process
What are the effects of the electrode polarity on welding in the SAW process?
Think of Polarity as water flow in a pipe. Reverse Polarity means the flow is from the work to the machine. Straight Polarity is flow from the machine to the work. Heat is released when the flow tries to jump the gap. So in Reverse Polarity (where most SMAW is done) the heat builds up in the base metal which is usually thicker than the Electrode. The extra heat there helps melt the base metal. Straight polarity is usually employed when welding thin metals.
What are smaw welding?
smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
What is the minimum thickness of metal normally welded using the smaw process?
The minimum thickness for SMAW welding is about 18 ga. with a steady hand.
What are the advantages of SMAW?
Advantage of smaw :*equipment is relatively inexpensive Equipment is portable because the welding machine can be powered with gasoline or diesel powered w/ engines.
How do you calculate nomber of electrode in SMAW welding?
no need
What is arc temperature during smaw welding?
5000
What are advantages of SMAW process?
Advantage of smaw :*equipment is relatively inexpensive Equipment is portable because the welding machine can be powered with gasoline or diesel powered w/ engines.
What does DCEP mean in SMAW?
Direct current electrode positive
What SMAW rod is known as the code rod?
1040.
What is SMAW process?
SMAW stands for Shielded Metal Arc Welding. This process uses electrodes with flux coating, which release gases to surround the weld metal, thereby preventing oxidation.
The majority of SMAW welding is done using what two polarities?
DC-
Where can you find cswip 3.1 welding inspector exam papers?
OCV of SMAW
What is the meaning of SMAW?
shielded metal arc welding use to electrode metal
