    1. WHAT ARE THE 5 ESSENTIALS OF WELDING?

    Correct Current
    Correct Arc Length
    Correct Electrode Angle
    Correct Travel Speed
    Correct Electrode

    2. WHAT WILL YOU DO PRIOR TO WELDING OPERATION?

    Check Welding Machine

    3. ENUMERATE THE TOOLS & EQUIPMENT OF SMAW.

    TOOLS- Welding Machine, Electrode lead cable, Electrode holder, Leads,


    Cables, Cable connectors, Ground clamp, chipping hammer

    EQUIPMENTS- Welding Machine, Electrode Holder, Ground Clamp.

    4. HOW WOULD YOU PREVENT WELDING RELATED INJURIES?

    Wear Proper PPE


    Awareness to safety practices

    5. HOW WOULD AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK DURING WELDING?

    Ground all electrical equipment and the workplace


    Use the recommended cable size
    Follow safety standards

    6. WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF SMAW?

    Changing of Electrode or Slower welding process


    Must be stopped after each weld

    7. WHAT CAUSES DISTORTIONS IN THE AMENDMENT?

    Improper joint preparation


    8. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROOT PASS, FILLING
    PASS AND CAPPING?

    Root Pass- PENETRATION


    Filling Pass- 3rd PASS
    CAPPING- 4th PASS

    9. WHAT EFFECT DOES WIND VELOCITY HAS ON THE WELD?

    Cause of porosity- bangag2

    10. HOW WOULD YOU AVOID OCCURRENCE OF POROSITY OR


    SLAG ON WELD?

    Adjust current setting or maintain arc length

    11.WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF POOR PENETRATION AND INCOMPLETE


    FUSION?

    Lack of Current or Adjust current setting of electrode

    12. HOW DOU AVOID DEFECTS SUCH AS UNDERCUT AND BURN


    THROUGH?

    Reduce current setting

    13. IF THE ELECTRODE USED IN WELDING HAS MOISTURE, WHAT


    EFFECT WILL IT HAVE ON THE WELD?

    Cause of porosity, Stacking of electrode

    14. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WHEN YOU SEE A FELLOW WELDER


    FELL UNCONSCIOUS WHILE WELDING IN A CONFINED SPACE?

    Bring to an open area, Perform First Aid, Call for Help

    15. WHAT STEPS WOULD YOU UNDERTAKE IF THE WELDING


    MACHINE EMITTED SMOKE WHILE IN USE?

    Off the circuit breaker


    16. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SMAW PROCESS?

    It can use outdoor/indoor


    Equipment used is simple, inexpensive and portable

    17. ENUMERATE THE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)


    IN SMAW

    Welding Gloves, Cover All, Shoe Cover, Welding Mask, Welding Goggles
    and Face Shield

    18. WELD IN THICK CARBON STEEL MATERIALS HAS THE


    TENDENCY TO CRACK, WHY?

    Cracks on weld in thick carbon steel materials are cause by the rapid
    cooling of the weld

    19. WHAT FACTORS MUST BE CONSIDER IN THE SELECTION OF


    ELECTRODE?

    Be sure electrode will operate on the available welding machine being


    used.
    Electrode must match base metal properties
    Electrode must be of appropriate size for the job

    20. WHAT IS THE IDEAL LENGTH OF ARC? WHAT IS THE EFFECT


    TO LONG ARC?

    ARC LENGTH- should be approximately equal the diameter of the core of


    the electrode
    LONG ARC- excessively long arc increases voltage and produce spatter,
    low deposition rate, undercuts and maybe porosity
