What does DCEN welding mean?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the meaning of 'DCEN' in the context of welding. 'DCEN' stands for Direct Current Electrode Negative, which is a welding technique where the electrode is connected to the negative terminal of the power source, influencing heat distribution and penetration during the welding process.
Answer
Direct Current Electrode Negative
The final answer is Direct Current Electrode Negative.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is Direct Current Electrode Negative.
More Information
In DCEN welding, the majority of the heat is focused on the workpiece, making it useful for welding thin materials without burning through.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing DCEN with DCEP; remember that DCEN means the electrode is negative.
