9 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Arc voltage ( volts affects puddle fluidity)


Starting the arc : 50-100 volts


Maintaining arc : 17-40 volts

Amperage


•metal deposition rate ( burn off rate)


•penetration

Smaw welding machines


• generators = AC or DC output


• transformers= (buzzbox) AC only


(Rectifier) AC & DC output


• inverters = multipurpose AC &/or DC


Smaw needs CC ( constant current)


T

DCEP= reverse polarity


DCEN= straight polarity

Arc length!


Short arc length = volts ⬇️ amps ⬆️ narrow high bead, deeper pen.


Long arc length= volts ⬆️ amps ⬇️ flat wider bead, shallow pen.

CC = SMAW, GTAW Consumable*


CV= GMAW, FCAW


Saw = CV or CC

SMAW is cc, DCEP , drooping volt amp curve, Coated electrodes

GMAW is CV, DCEP, flatter volt amp curve

FCAW is CV, DCEP,


Tubular electrode, gas shield, self shielded

GTAW is CC, DCEN

SAW CV or CC, AC or DCEP

CAC-A is CC, DCEP on mild steel & aluminum and CI and DCEN on SS, electrode stickout 7”, 4” on aluminum

PAW is CC, DCSP, ocv is 80 volts, electrode same as GTAW ( tungsten)


PAC is CC, DCSP, ocv is 120-400 volts, electrode zirconium Or hafnium

SMAW electrodes


E6010 = F3, DCRP, cellulose, deep pen, fast freeze, dynamic loading.


E6013= F2, AC or DC, rutile, fill freeze, static loading.


E7018= F4, AC or DCRP, lime, low hydrogen, dynamic loading.


E7024= F1, AC or DC, iron powder, fast fill, static loading.

Cable sizes smallest to largest


4, 3, 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0


Larger size= less electrical resistance

Smaw electrodes 120- 150 Celsius


3/32: 70-120


1/8: 90-160


5/32: 130-210
