Lesson 6B: Key Techniques and Flashcards for Shielded Metal Arc Welding Fundamentals
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) uses a constant current machine. Key fundamentals include arc length, amperage, and voltage output. The arc temperature ranges from 6500°F to 7000°F (3600°C to 3900°C). Safety measures and proper equipment selection are vital. Understanding electrode classifications and welding joints enhances SMAW skills. Key techniques include proper electrode selection, adjusting arc … Read more
