Study Notes
Indiana FFA Welding Career Development Event Question Bank
- Welding Issues:
- Electrode freezing to the work: Turn the welding machine off immediately.
- Incorrect electrode movement speed: Results in a wide bead, inadequate metal deposition, or an excessively high bead.
- Determining the proper arc length: Based on the sound and appearance of the arc and weld.
- Welding Positions:
- Recognized Positions: Diagonal, Overhead, Vertical, Horizontal
- Flux: Chemical compound used to prevent metal oxidation or formation of carbon on the metal.
- Polarity:
- Straight Polarity: Work positive, electrode negative
- Reverse Polarity: Work negative, electrode positive
- Second Pass Considerations:
- Necessary if the first pass was poor
- Must remove slag from the first pass before starting the second.
- E-7018 Electrode:
- Tensile strength of 70,000 pounds psi
- Porosity: The presence of gas pockets or voids in the weld.
- Mild Steel Carbon Content: Low carbon content
- Welding Duty Cycle: The continuous operating time in a 10-minute period for the welding machine.
- Undesirable Welding Element in Steel: Sulfur
- Fast Freeze, Deep Penetration, All-Purpose Electrode: E-7018
- T-Fillet Weld Distortion: Most affected by angular distortion.
- Steel Element Added More Than Others: Carbon
- Arc Welding Lens Shade: Eight
- First Weld Bead: Root pass
- Alternating Current (AC): Flows in one direction (+) for half a cycle, then in the opposite direction (-) for the other half-cycle.
- Arc Length: Ideally equal to the rod width for most arc welding jobs.
- Electrode Coating Purpose: Protecting the wire core, preventing impurities, and preventing slag.
- Work Angle: Angle between the electrode and the vertical plane when viewed from the side.
- Weld Metal: Fused portion of base metal, with filler rod.
- E-7014 Electrode Usage: All positions.
- Vertical Up Arc Welding: Short arc, higher amperage.
- Electrode Selection Considerations: Type of metal, thickness of the metal, and welding position.
- Malleability: The ability of a metal to be hammered or rolled.
- Welding Heat Energy Source: Volts across the arc, resistance to current flow across the arc, and amperage setting on the power source.
- Slag: Remains on top of the weld after it cools,
- Conductor A material that allows electricity to flow.
- Electrode Classification:
- Numerical coding for a given electrode.
- Destructive Weld Test: Guided bend, ultrasonic, and eddy current
- Ferrous Metals: Steel
- Duty Rated Cycle of a Machine: The continuous running time within a specified period of time.
- Ductility: A material's ability to be permanently twisted or bent without breaking
- Toughness The ability of a metal to withstand force, sudden shock or impact without fracturing.
- Tensile Strength: The metal's ability to withstand being pulled apart.
- Impact Strength: A metal's ability to resist fracture under sudden load.
- Quenching: Rapid cooling of a metal.
- Alloy Metal: Combination of two or more elements.
- Welding Exam Questions (from pages 16-26): Questions 1-100 from the pages are detailed and will provide useful information for studying these particular topics.
