True - Ans Tubular electrodes are used for FCAW.
False - Ans A typical electrode extension for self-shielded electrodes ranges from 1/4" to 1
3/4".
True - Ans FCAW-G commonly uses carbon dioxide as a shielding gas.
True - Ans Some flux cored electrodes can be used without the addi&on of a shielding gas.
False - Ans FCAW welding most commonly uses AC current for flat posi&on.
True - Ans For FCAW, welding current is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the wire feed
speed at the wire feeder.
False - Ans The FCAW-S process requires a shielding gas from an external source.
True - Ans Gas flow rates can range from 30c+ to 45 c+.
True - Ans FCAW produces less distor&on than SMAW as well as smooth, uniform beads.
False - Ans The T in the electrode classifica&on for flux cored electrodes means that the
electrode is tough.
