Too long an arc length allows the arc to wander creating a poorly shaped weld. The slag is usually too thin and can allow Oxygen in the air to attack the molten puddle which causes Porosity in the weld. Too short an arc length buries the slag and creates less heat which traps the slag and impurities. Keep in mind that electrode coatings help determine the correct arc length.

What is Arc length in welding?
Arc length is the distance from the tip of the electrode to the workpiece.
If the central angle of a circle is twenty degrees and the radius is fifty centimeters what is the arc length?
20/360=arc length/2pi*50; 1/12=arc length/100pi. 100pi/12=arc length. arc length=25pi/3 centimeters, which is approximately 26.17993878 centimeters.
How is it possible to identify a weld that has been made with too long an arc length?
A weld made with too long an arc length typically exhibits characteristics such as excessive spatter, inconsistent bead appearance, and poor penetration. The weld bead may appear wider and flatter, with a lack of fusion at the edges. Additionally, the heat-affected zone may show signs of overheating, leading to distortion or cracking. Overall, visual inspection and the quality of the weld can help identify issues related to arc length.
How would you avoid the occurrence of porosity or slag on weld?

How long should the arc length be on stick welding?
The arc length in stick welding should typically be about the thickness of a nickel, roughly 1/8 inch (3 mm). Maintaining this distance helps ensure a stable arc and optimal heat transfer, resulting in better weld quality. Too short an arc can lead to excessive spatter and a poor weld, while too long an arc may cause incomplete fusion and increased porosity. Adjust the arc length based on the specific electrode and welding position for best results.
Three condition of electrode that could affect weld bead shape in sheilded metal arc welding?
The angle of the electrode, the speed of the electrode used to weld and the size of the electrode.
Can weld without flux is possible?
You can arc weld & then the flux will be in the rod.
How does arc length affect voltage?
The longer you strech the arc, the smaller the voltage. Current rises though.
How does radius affect arc length?
The arc length of a circle is directly proportional to its radius. Specifically, the formula for arc length (L) is given by (L = r \theta), where (r) is the radius and (\theta) is the central angle in radians. This means that as the radius increases, the arc length also increases for a given angle. Conversely, for a fixed radius, a larger angle will result in a longer arc length.
What is the affect of argon in welding?
Argon is commonly used in welding as a shielding gas to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. It helps prevent oxidation of the weld and promotes a clean, strong weld bead. Additionally, argon can improve overall weld quality by providing better arc stability and penetration.
How does arc blow affect welding?
Arc blow is a magnetic field formed in the weld area. It will pull the arc back and forth keeping it from being concentrated directly ahead of the electrode. Metal in some areas will not be melted and slag will flow into these voids trapping it. The arc can expel molten metal from the joint creating spatter. Arc blow can be very severe. You can avoid this by connecting the work lead to the end of the weld joint. Then work away from the work lead.
What effects does shortening the electrode extension have on weld penetration?
Shortening the electrode extension typically reduces weld penetration. This is because a shorter electrode extension results in a smaller arc length, which reduces the heat input into the weld and leads to less penetration. It is important to maintain the proper electrode extension to achieve the desired weld penetration.
The length of arc AB is 28.61 What is the length of arc ACB?
The length of arc ACB is 57.2.
