Questions and Answers
What does welding amperage refer to in a welding circuit?
What does welding amperage refer to in a welding circuit?
- The distance from the end of the contact tip to the base material
- The amount and speed of electricity flowing in a circuit (correct)
- The arc length in combination with the stick-out
- The speed and volume of filler metal going into the weld
How does welding amperage affect weld penetration?
How does welding amperage affect weld penetration?
- Higher amperage settings yield greater joint penetration (correct)
- Higher amperage settings provide less joint penetration
- Lower amperage settings have no effect on joint penetration
- Lower amperage settings yield greater joint penetration
How does increasing the welding voltage affect stick-out and amperage?
How does increasing the welding voltage affect stick-out and amperage?
- Increasing the welding voltage increases stick-out and decreases amperage.
- Increasing the welding voltage decreases stick-out and increases amperage. (correct)
- Increasing the welding voltage has no effect on stick-out and amperage.
- Increasing the welding voltage increases stick-out and also increases amperage.
