    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.
