When making FCAW groove and fillet welds in the flat position, what is the purpose of using a drag angle?
- To increase the speed of the welding process
- To reduce the heat input into the base material
- To minimize the formation of spatter
- To ensure proper penetration and fusion (correct)
What is the primary function of a drag angle in FCAW welding?
What is the primary function of a drag angle in FCAW welding?
- To achieve better penetration and fusion (correct)
- To improve the aesthetics of the weld bead
- To prevent excessive heat input into the base metal
- To reduce the risk of porosity in the weld
How does a drag angle contribute to the quality of FCAW groove and fillet welds in the flat position?
How does a drag angle contribute to the quality of FCAW groove and fillet welds in the flat position?
- By promoting deep and complete fusion (correct)
- By minimizing distortion in the base material
- By reducing the likelihood of weld spatter
- By enhancing the visual appearance of the weld
