Introduction to Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
Exam Coverage
Exam coverage for Introduction to Shielded Metal Arc Welding
(SMAW) includes foundational welding principles and techniques used
in manual arc welding. It focuses on welding safety, equipment setup,
electrode types and selection, power sources, and basic welding
terminology. The exam also evaluates understanding of welding
positions, joint types, metal preparation, arc control, bead formation,
and common welding defects.
Emphasis is placed on proper safety practices (including PPE),
developing basic welding skills, understanding how to produce strong
and clean welds, and identifying and correcting common welding
issues in practical applications. 🔧⚡📘
