Straight polarity refers to the welding setup in which the electrode is connected to the positive terminal and the workpiece is connected to the negative terminal. Reverse polarity is the opposite setup, with the electrode connected to the negative terminal and the workpiece connected to the positive terminal. These polarity settings affect penetration, heat distribution, and weld quality in different ways.

Why is dc welding develop?

we will have straight polarity and reverse polarity,we can produce the weld with good quality


What are the two polarities used with direct current welding?

reverse polarity and straight polarity The answer is right but a bit of furthur explanation is required. Polarity can be changed in DC output welding sets. The heat of the welding arc is concentrated on the positive terminal. So when thick plates are welded as more concentration of heat is required on the job the job is kept +ve ie. straight polarity is used. For thin plates concentration of heat is on the filler rod ,so reverse polarity is used.


What is polarity in welding?

Polarity in welding has to do with the direction of the current in the welding process. With direct current (DC) the welding circuit can either be straight, or reverse polarity. When the machine is set for straight polarity, the current flows from the electrode to the weld surface and creates considerable heat in the metal. When the machine is in reverse polarity, the current is backwards and is flowing from the metal to the electrode causing a grater concentration of heat at the electrode.


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.

If, by 'reverse polarity', you mean the accidental reversal of the line and neutral conductors at the socket outlet or receptacle, then the answer is no.

Is the LM3914 IC protected against reverse polarity?

i would never naturally assume any circuitry to be "reverse polarity" by default even if they are. since this can fry a lot of IC, and micro controllers. there are several options to adding a reverse polarity protection circuit to your project you can find three easy to implement circuits here: http://provideyourown.com/2012/reverse-polarity-protection-circuits/
