1. WHAT ARE THE 5 ESSENTIALS OF WELDING?
Correct Current
Correct Arc Length
Correct Electrode Angle
Correct Travel Speed
Correct Electrode
2. WHAT WILL YOU DO PRIOR TO WELDING OPERATION?
Check Welding Machine
3. ENUMERATE THE TOOLS & EQUIPMENT OF SMAW.
TOOLS- Welding Machine, Electrode lead cable, Electrode holder, Leads,
Cables, Cable connectors, Ground clamp, chipping hammer
EQUIPMENTS- Welding Machine, Electrode Holder, Ground Clamp.
4. HOW WOULD YOU PREVENT WELDING RELATED INJURIES?
Wear Proper PPE
Awareness to safety practices
5. HOW WOULD AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK DURING WELDING?
Ground all electrical equipment and the workplace
Use the recommended cable size
Follow safety standards
6. WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF SMAW?
Changing of Electrode or Slower welding process
Must be stopped after each weld
7. WHAT CAUSES DISTORTIONS IN THE AMENDMENT?
Improper joint preparation
8. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROOT PASS, FILLING
PASS AND CAPPING?
Root Pass- PENETRATION
Filling Pass- 3rd PASS
CAPPING- 4th PASS
9. WHAT EFFECT DOES WIND VELOCITY HAS ON THE WELD?
Cause of porosity- bangag2
10. HOW WOULD YOU AVOID OCCURRENCE OF POROSITY OR
SLAG ON WELD?
Adjust current setting or maintain arc length
[Link] ARE THE CAUSES OF POOR PENETRATION AND INCOMPLETE
FUSION?
Lack of Current or Adjust current setting of electrode
12. HOW DOU AVOID DEFECTS SUCH AS UNDERCUT AND BURN
THROUGH?
Reduce current setting
13. IF THE ELECTRODE USED IN WELDING HAS MOISTURE, WHAT
EFFECT WILL IT HAVE ON THE WELD?
Cause of porosity, Stacking of electrode
14. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WHEN YOU SEE A FELLOW WELDER
FELL UNCONSCIOUS WHILE WELDING IN A CONFINED SPACE?
Bring to an open area, Perform First Aid, Call for Help
15. WHAT STEPS WOULD YOU UNDERTAKE IF THE WELDING
MACHINE EMITTED SMOKE WHILE IN USE?
Off the circuit breaker
16. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SMAW PROCESS?
It can use outdoor/indoor
Equipment used is simple, inexpensive and portable
17. ENUMERATE THE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
IN SMAW
Welding Gloves, Cover All, Shoe Cover, Welding Mask, Welding Goggles
and Face Shield
18. WELD IN THICK CARBON STEEL MATERIALS HAS THE
TENDENCY TO CRACK, WHY?
Cracks on weld in thick carbon steel materials are cause by the rapid
cooling of the weld
19. WHAT FACTORS MUST BE CONSIDER IN THE SELECTION OF
ELECTRODE?
Be sure electrode will operate on the available welding machine being
used.
Electrode must match base metal properties
Electrode must be of appropriate size for the job
20. WHAT IS THE IDEAL LENGTH OF ARC? WHAT IS THE EFFECT
TO LONG ARC?
ARC LENGTH- should be approximately equal the diameter of the core of
the electrode
LONG ARC- excessively long arc increases voltage and produce spatter,
low deposition rate, undercuts and maybe porosity
