Study Notes
Indiana FFA Welding Career Development Event Question Bank
- Event Focus: Indiana FFA Welding Career Development Event.
- Format: Question bank, likely for a competition.
- Content: The questions cover various aspects of welding, including procedures, techniques, safety, and materials.
Welding Procedures and Techniques
- Electrode Freezing: If an electrode freezes to the work, immediately turn off the welding machine.
- Arc Length: The proper length of arc is judged by the sound, appearance of the arc and weld.
- Welding Speed: Moving the electrode too fast during welding results in a wide bead, insufficient metal deposition, or an excessively high bead.
- Welding Positions: Different positions, like horizontal, vertical, and overhead, are recognized welding positions.
- Polarity: Straight polarity involves negative work and positive electrode and vice versa for reverse polarity.
- Second Pass: A second weld pass should not be done if the slag from the first pass has not been removed.
- Flux: Flux prevents metal oxidation during welding.
- Welding Defects: Porosity refers to gas pockets and voids in the weld.
Welding Materials and Properties
- Electrode Tensile Strength: The tensile strength of an E-7018 electrode is 70,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
- Mild Steel Composition: Mild steel is typically low in carbon content.
- Desirable/Undesirable Metals: Some elements in steel (like sulfur) are undesirable for welding.
- Welding Electrode Types: Specific electrodes, like E-6011, are designed for particular applications.
Other Important Information
- Duty Cycle: Duty cycle measures the continuous operating time of an arc welder.
- Work Angle: The work angle is the angle between the electrode and the base metal.
- Welding Position Types: There are different welding positions like flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead.
- Malleability: Malleability refers to the ability of a metal to be hammered or rolled.
- Welding Questions and Answers (in various sections): A comprehensive list of questions, covering a range of welding aspects.
