This defect occurs when the bead meanders and deviates from the weld line.

It is a product of steel making process. Produced during the separation of the molten steel from impurities in steel-making furnaces.

The electrode is moved downward to the base metal in a vertical direction.

Is easier for beginners and when using an AC machine. The electrode is moved across the plate inclined at an angle, as you would strike a match.

This is a defect caused by instantaneously striking an arc on the base material. In other words, an arc strike is a spot of failed arc ignition which was not fused by subsequent welding and remained on the base material. Arc strike may be the cause of cracking in the base material.

Occurs when metal particles from the weld is stuck on the area adjacent to the weld area

Your travel speed should allow you to keep the arc in the leading one-third of the weld pool.

Each welder manipulates the electrode a little differently. Develop your own style by observing others, practicing, and noting which techniques produce the best results.

Stick welding in the flat, horizontal and overhead positions uses a drag or backhand welding technique.

The correct arc length varies with each electrode and application.

The electrode you select will determine whether your machine should be set up in DC positive, DC negative or AC.

This is done by weaving the arc back and forth across the weld path either in a zig zag or figure 8 motion so the metal spreads to the width that you want your finished weld bead to be.

It is the process of joining two metal workpieces together using a flux covered electrode which is melted in an electric arc and becomes a fused part of the pieces being welded.

Are generally not very wide and can be used in any welding position. Even though you're moving in a straight line, it's still important to make sure you get "tie in" with the toe of the weld on either side

When welding a lap joint the electrode should be held at a 30-degree angle or less. Use one or two weld passes as needed. Before the second pass remove any slag.

May cause when you apply too fast electrode manipulation and too high welding amperage.

May cause when welding amperage is low or slow electrode manipulation.

Is type of weld that has a roughly triangular cross section. Typically requires less joint preparation than a groove weld, making it a very cost-effective joining method and therefore considerably more abundant in the welding industry.

For wider welds, you can weave from side to side along a joint. For a fat joint, weaving is the fastest way to knock off a welding assignment.

Defined as welding defect as any deviation in size and shape of the given metal structure regarding technical and design requirements. The deviation can be caused by process limitation in terms of wrong welding process/technique or due to certain human behavior.

This is a weld that is too big or has too much convexity (too much build up). Usually caused by low travel speeds or incorrect procedures.

Is a type of weld defect which occurs when molten metal does not completely fuse with the cold plate surface.

It is when a Fillet Weld bead sags inward from the root Face to the Root.

This is when a Fillet Weld bead protrudes outwards from the Root to the Face.

Where the weld fractures or breaks apart. A good example would be welding on cast iron. Sometimes it will run right in front of the weld pools as you weld.

Referred to as worm holes, these are gas pockets trapped in the weld. A couple of reasons would be from not enough shielding gas in or moisture in the FLUX in 7018 low hydrogen rods.

Is a weld DEFECT that happens when you are not depositing enough FILLER METAL.

This is the CARDINAL SIN of welding grasshopper! Cutting into the steel with the force of the arc leaves a cut out groove in the weld. If this is not filled back in with filler metal, it leaves a WELD DEFECT which is a weak point that can cause the joint to fail.

It Is made of chrome leather and protects our hands from heat, spatter, and radiations.

It has heat resistant soles and impact resistant toes. Some safety shoes have metal in soles, while others protect workers from different types of electrical hazards.

The welding position refers to the position of the welding operator towards the workpiece to be welded. Because of gravity, the welding position affects the flow of molten filler metal.

A welding test position designation for a linear groove weld applied to a joint, in which the weld is made in the flat welding position.

The angle between the bevel of a joint member and a plane perpendicular to the surface of the membe

A protective PPEs are made from leather to protect the arms.

Arc length should be as long as _______.

Undercutting on vertical plate can be avoided by ______.

The length of electrode extending beyond the electrode holder or cutting torch

. It is often used in flat position weld on butt, tee, and outside corner joints for build-up and surfacing application.

This weaving motion is used as cover passes in flat and vertical positions.

Which is AWS stands for

The portion of base metal adjacent to a weld, braze or solder joint or thermal cut and unaffected by welding, brazing, soldering, or thermal cutting.

The preparation of the joint members is by cutting, cleaning, and plating. The joint member has the minimum distance from the fillet weld face, minus any convexity, and the weld root.

The ______ angle is in the line of the welding and may vary from 5⁰ to 30⁰

A component of the secondary circuit terminating at the arc, molten conductive slag, or base metal.

A test specimen, which is alloy being welded, brazed, soldered, or cut.

The length of electrode extending beyond the electrode holder or cutting torch

This are used for ear coverings and are connected by a flexible band and worn as protection against extreme noise.

A protective PPEs are made from leather to protect the arms.

This are made from light asbestos coated with aluminum to protect the whole-body during welding.

It has heat resistant soles and impact resistant toes. Some safety shoes have metal in soles, while others protect workers from different types of electrical hazards.
