WLD101 - Comprehensive Overview of Welding Processes Electrodes Power Sources Arc Transfers Techniques Defects and Safety Practices

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 2 out of 8 pages

This guide provides an in-depth overview of welding, covering major processes such as SMAW, FCAW, GMAW, and GTAW. It explains electrode classifications, power sources, polarities, arc transfer modes, and welding techniques, including hot start, wire feed speed, and electrical stick out. Common welding defects — such as porosity, undercut, cold lap, and hydrogen cracking — are highlighted, along with safety practices including lens shades, flashback prevention, and regulator use. This serves as a practical reference for both welding theory and hands-on troubleshooting.

WLD101 - Comprehensive Overview of Welding

Processes Electrodes Power Sources Arc Transfers

Techniques Defects and Safety Practices

What does smaw stand for - Shielded metal arc welding✅✅✅


The majority of smaw welding is done using what two polarities - Ac and dc +✅✅✅


The recommended power source for smaw welding is what type - Constant current✅✅✅


The aws classification os smaw electrode e7018-h4r what does the e stand for - Electrode✅✅✅


Which is not a fix to arc blow - Increase current✅✅✅


The aws classification of electrode e7024, what does the 2 stand for - Flat/horizontal

position✅✅✅


If an inverter power supply operates at 20,000 hz, how fast does a chopper machine operate - 20,000

hz✅✅✅


A machine has a duty cycle of 300 amps @ 20%.How long can you weld at 300 amps continuously

before the machine shuts down - 2 minutes✅✅✅


What smaw rod is known as the code rod - 7018✅✅✅


What is the device inside the power supply that changes ac to dc - Rectifier✅✅✅


In most inverters what used to increase the frequency of the incoming line signal of 50/60hz up to that

of the inverter at 20,000 hz - Igbt✅✅✅


To reduce the risk of hydrogen cracking which electrode would you select - 7018✅✅✅

, An igbt is called what - Isolated gate bipolar transistor✅✅✅


In smaw welding what does the hot start do - Provides an additional boost of current when striking the

arc✅✅✅


Notch toughness is one requirement for some structural applications especially those in seismic areas.

What does notch toughness do - Welds at high notch toughness have greater resistance to cracking

due to rapidly applied loads✅✅✅


For improved impact properties select the correct electrode - E7018-1✅✅✅


What electrode is not used to weld vertical down - 7018✅✅✅


What technique is often associated with 6010 electrodes - Whip✅✅✅


An 7024 electrode has what % iron powder in its coating - 30%✅✅✅


Ctod is a all weld metal fatigue test that some smaw electrodes pass - Crack tip opening

displacement✅✅✅


The aws classification of smaw electrode e7018-h4r what does the h4 stand for - 4ml of hydrogen per

100g of weld metall✅✅✅


What is not a function of the coating elements found in smaw welding electrodes - Keep the arc

established when using direct current✅✅✅


What does fcaw stand for - Flux cored arc welding✅✅✅


Fcaw-as is generally used done with what polarity - Dc-✅✅✅


Fcaw-gs is generally done with what polarity - Dc +✅✅✅


What type of power source is generally used for fcaw welding - Constant voltage✅✅✅
