Study Notes
Indiana FFA Welding Career Development Event Question Bank
- Event Focus: Welding career development
- Question Bank: Provides a compiled list of questions for the event.
- Content Detail: Questions cover various aspects of welding, including techniques, safety, materials, and procedures.
Welding Techniques & Safety
-
Electrode Freezing: If the electrode freezes, immediately turn off the welding machine.
-
Arc Length: Proper arc length can be judged by the sound and appearance of the arc and weld.
-
Incorrect Electrode Movement: Moving the electrode too quickly during welding leads to issues in the weld deposit.
-
Welding Positions: This includes, but is not limited to, Flat, Vertical, Overhead, and Horizontal, as well as diagonal.
-
Welding Positions(Not Included): Diagonal is not a standard welding position.
-
Straight Polarity: Work is positive, electrode is negative.
-
Second Pass Considerations: Do not perform a weld pass if the slag from the first pass is still on the metal.
-
Tensile Strength of E-7018 electrode: 70,000 pounds psi.
-
Porosity: Gas pockets and voids in the weld metal.
-
Mild Steel Composition: Low carbon content.
-
Welding Electrode Flux: Prevents metal oxide formation.
-
Duty Cycle: Refers to the continuous operating time of the welding machine.
-
Undesirable Element in Steel: Sulfur.
Welding Materials & Processes
-
Electrode Coating Purpose: Protects the wire core and prevents impurities in the weld.
-
E-6013 Electrode Use: Fast freeze, deep penetrating, and all-purpose.
-
T-Fillet Weld: Affected mostly by angular distortion.
-
Work Angle: The angle between the electrode and the base metal.
Elements Added to Iron
- Steel element: Carbon
Additional Questions & Topics
-
Welding Positions: Vertical up, other positions.
-
Electrical Current Type: Alternating current (AC) flows in one direction then the other direction (positive-negative), while direct current (DC) flows in one direction only.
-
Arc Welding Process: Describes the continuous running time for the particular process.
