MIG on steel
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Root face | is the area of metal removed from the root edge to form a square face at the root of the joint. |
Stringer | a single pass with little to no motion other than the direction it is being travelled in. Size depends on electrode used, arc length, travel speed, and electrode inclination. |
Things to consider when semi-automatic welding | shielding gas mode of metal transfer polarity amperage/wire speed voltage |
Advantages of using a back plate | you can use higher heat input processes like FCAW and SAW that are difficult to control faster welding speeds reduced distortion less preparation needed easier fit and alignment. |
Benefit of FCAW & MCAW | Productivity |
WPS | Welding procedure specification |
WPDS | Welding Procedure Data Sheet |
Dimensional Discontinuities | Lack of fusion incomplete fusion porosity, slag inclusion undercut arc strikes excessive reinforcement visual failure and more |
Fillet | is a triangular-shaped cross-section that joins two parts generally at 90⁰ to each other. |
Tack Weld | a short length of weld used to hold parts together and in alignment until welding can be completed. |
Backing material | Designed to support and shape molten weld metal at the root of the joint. Permanent backing material remains in place as part of a finished weld. |
