What is excess weaving in welding?
excessive We were taught 2-1/2 times the width of the electrode was maximum. ie: 5/16" width weld bead for 1/8" electrode.
What is a straight weld bead on the surface of a plate with little or no side to side electrode movement called?
A straight weld bead on the surface of a plate with little or no side-to-side electrode movement is called a stringer bead. It is a type of weld bead characterized by its uniform and straight appearance, typically achieved through consistent and controlled forward movement of the welding electrode along the joint.
What is a face of a weld?
in reference to the acutal weld metal-it is the "bead", what you see on top.
What is weld pool?
A small "pool" of molten metal that is manipulated to crate a weld bead.
What is a Bead in welding?
A bead is a compleated weld pass. Just like a bead of glue or adhesive, it is the same way. A compleatley bonded joint.
How many weld in 2 inch can a welder do?
3 bead cap
What is a tack weld?
When a welder makes a small weld bead to "tack" a joint together so it will not move. This makes it easier to weld a joint without having to clamp it.Tack welding is when a welder makes a small bead to "tack" the metal into place for the final welding.
Can welding fluxes affect the penetration and contour of the weld bead?
Yes, welding fluxes can significantly affect the penetration and contour of the weld bead. Fluxes help stabilize the arc and protect the molten metal from oxidation, which can enhance penetration. Additionally, different types of fluxes can influence the fluidity of the weld pool, affecting the bead's shape and contour. Proper selection and application of flux are crucial for achieving desired weld characteristics.
What type of weld bead is formed by moving the torch or electrode from side as the weld progresses?
The type of weld bead formed by moving the torch or electrode from side to side as the weld progresses is known as a "weave" pattern. This technique helps to distribute heat more evenly and can create wider welds, improving penetration and fusion with the base materials. Weaving is commonly used in various welding processes, such as MIG or TIG welding, to enhance the quality and appearance of the weld bead.
What is a leading electrode angle for in welding?
what characteristics does the weld bead have when weaving the electrode
What welding parameters to consider to produce quality weld?
There are 4 basics to producing a good weld bead. Correct #1 Amperage #2 Electrode Angle #3 Arc Length #4 Travel Speed Factor in electrode manipulation in some cases.
What is a 1g weld?
flat
