FCAW Review
Across
- 4. Defect caused by trapped hydrogen between slag and weld metal.
- 5. Gas added to Carbon Dioxide to reduce spatter.
- 7. Recommended polarity for self shielded FCAW.
- 8. Transfers current to the wire (two words).
- 10. Type of wire feeder used with a CV power source (two words).
- 13. Requires removal after each weld is complete.
- 14. Electrode and gas travel through this part.
- 15. self-shielded FCAW does not require this welding gun part
- 17. Self Shielded FCAW does not use this medium but Dual-Shield FCAW does (two words).
- 20. This element is included in the flux for self-shielded electrodes to deal with nitrogen absorbed by the weld pool.
Down
- 1. Type of wire feeder used with CC power sources and self-shielded FCAW.
- 2. Speed Primary variable that affects the overall size of the weld.
- 3. Directly tied to Wire feed speed.
- 6. _____ increases as stickout increases.
- 9. Type of drive roll recommended for FCAW.
- 11. Defect caused by too high or too low shielding gas flow rates.
- 12. Tensile strength for electrode classification is measured in this unit of measure.
- 16. Shielding medium contained inside the electrode.
- 18. Travel technique used for FCAW.
- 19. This function starts the flow of shielding gas without energizing the electrode.
