The filler metal in an FCAW process is provided by - answer a continuous flux-cored
electrode
The lenses used in safety glasses, face shields, or helmets worn during FCAW
procedures must be - answer properly tinted
A gas that is commonly used to purge areas or containers prior to FCAW operations is -
answer nitrogen
If possible practice weld coupons for FCAW should be - answer 3/8" (10 mm) thick
carbon steel
Setting up a gas-shielded FCAW machine requires connecting the proper shielding gas
for the application as well as - answer loading the wire feeder and gun with the
proper electrode
After a welder has made the initial recommended setting, the welding amperage of an
FCAW system is typically controlled by the - answer wire feed speed control
When weave beads are made, the motion of the electrode is - answer widely side-to-
side
An improperly made FCAW restart will create a - answer weld discontinuity
Unless the proper technique is used, a weld termination normally leaves - answer a
crater
Weld beads that are used to build up a surface and to make multiple pass welds are
known as - answer overlapping beads
The most common fillet welds are made in - answer lap and T-joints
What work angle should be used for the first bead in a horizontal (2F) fillet weld -
answer 45 degrees
With FCAW, groove welds can be made in - answer all positions
A flat position open V-groove weld is acceptable if it has complete fusion at the toes of
the weld and a smooth, flat - answer cross section
When making a 3G open V-groove weld with weave beads use a zigzag pattern across
the root bead and passed at each toe - answer for good fusion
