motion of the electrode causes different pattterns in th formation ofthe cooling weld puddle. You can alter the weld patter by changing the electrode motion,,ex: motion straight across the weld zone and dropping electrode position say (1/8th inch) produces given pattern..same pattern with a slight upward motion at edges of weld zone another pattern...etc etc
excessive We were taught 2-1/2 times the width of the electrode was maximum. ie: 5/16" width weld bead for 1/8" electrode.
The angle of the electrode, the speed of the electrode used to weld and the size of the electrode.
There are 4 basics to producing a good weld bead. Correct #1 Amperage #2 Electrode Angle #3 Arc Length #4 Travel Speed Factor in electrode manipulation in some cases.
The five essentials of arc welding include a power source, which provides the necessary electrical energy; an electrode, which melts to form the weld pool; a workpiece, the material being welded; shielding, which protects the weld from contamination; and proper technique, which involves the welder's skill in manipulating the electrode and controlling the weld bead. These elements work together to ensure a strong and effective weld.
Yes, welding fluxes can significantly affect the penetration and contour of the weld bead. Fluxes help stabilize the arc and protect the molten metal from oxidation, which can enhance penetration. Additionally, different types of fluxes can influence the fluidity of the weld pool, affecting the bead's shape and contour. Proper selection and application of flux are crucial for achieving desired weld characteristics.
what characteristics does the weld bead have when weaving the electrode

A straight weld bead on the surface of a plate with little or no side-to-side electrode movement is called a stringer bead. It is a type of weld bead characterized by its uniform and straight appearance, typically achieved through consistent and controlled forward movement of the welding electrode along the joint.
The angle of the electrode, the speed of the electrode used to weld and the size of the electrode.

Some unique techniques for creating intricate designs in bead art include using different bead sizes and shapes, incorporating various bead weaving stitches such as peyote stitch or brick stitch, layering beads to create dimension, and adding embellishments like crystals or charms for extra detail.
6013 is a mild steel electrode that bridges the span between mild steel and medium steel. It has a lot of the characteristics of the 60s type electrode but with a thicker coating that doesn't spatter as much and can be used with either AC or DC Polarity. 60 equals 60,000 lbs tensile strength, 1 equals all position, 13 states basic coating type and denotes AC plus DC useage. The deposited bead has a thicker slag coating than 6010, 6011, 6012.

Someone who does bead work is typically referred to as a "beader" or a "beadworker." Beaders use various techniques to create intricate designs using beads, such as stringing, weaving, or embroidery. Beadwork can be found in various cultures and is often used to create jewelry, clothing embellishments, and decorative items.
A bead doll tableau is a bead sculpture scene that is made primarily of beads. For example, you would start with some ceramic doll parts (head, hands, etc) then build an armature, then start weaving beads around it to make the body and or clothes etc. Some people go as far as to take a large tile and cover it with bead wax and stick on beads to make a floor, then bead furniture, then, bead dolls to sit on the furniture, or even make bead curtain walls out of loomed Delica beads! I have also seen a pillow made with shaggy fringe of green bugle beads, then stuffed, beaded farm animals were made to graze on the bead "grass"!
the rod will simply stick to the material being welded!
they use art to paint what they are feeling at that moment.
