What does having a higher current density mean |
It concentrates more current at one point |
|
Gmaw can be used to weld virtually All Metals except those that cannot be drawn into wire. What metal is it |
Cast iron, could not be formed into wire because it has such low malleability |

FCAW uses what kind of filler wire |
Tubular electrode wire with powdered flux inside |
|
Fcaw is especially well-suited for welding what kind of metals and what kind of applications |
Low carbon structural Steals and low alloy and stainless steels. It's also widely used for hardfacing applications |
|
With fcaw deep penetration reduces the need for |
Edge preparation |
|
The main disadvantage fcaw is it limited application. What kind of metals can be welded |
Low and medium carbon Steels, some low alloy Steels and a limited number of stainless steel |
|
In metal cored arc welding what kind of filler metal wire is used |
Tubular that has no fluxing ingredients inside instead the wires filled with powdered metal |
|
When using metal cored arc welding what kind of gas do you usually use |
Argon rich shielding gases |
|
One of the main advantages of metal cored arc welding is its excellent __________. Lack of ________ or ________ _________ is rare |

Hounding, battering type of where that splits, breaks, chips, mushrooms or otherwise deforms the metal surface is called |
Impact wear |
|
Which hard surfacing material is the most abrasion resistant |
Tungsten carbide |
|
To reduce falling, cracking in Distortion you must control |
The cooling rate |
|
What refers to the breaking away of metal particles from the base metal or underlying hard surfacing layers |
Spalling |
|
An effective way to slow the cooling rate is by |
Pre-heating |
|
A method of relieving internal stresses, especially in large Parts, is by each layer during Cooling |
Peening |
