Arc Welding

1. ARC WELDING

  • Page 74 in manual
  • Arc welding-is the process of fusing
  • metals by heat created in an electric arc

3. Define Electrode

  • A core of wire covered with flux.

4. Purpose OF Flux

  • Provides a gaseous shield and slag coat that
  • protects the weld from gases in the air.

6. STARTING THE ARC

  • Tapping
  • Striking

7. PARTS OF WELDER

    1. Ground Clamp.
    1. Electrode Holder insert bare end of electrode.
    1. Amp selection wheel.
    1. Start switch.
