Flux Cored Arc Welding ACTUAL
UPDATED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅An arc welding process
using an arc between a continuous filler metal electrode and the weld pool. The process is
used with shielding gas from a flux contained within the tubular electrode, with or without
additional shielding from an externally supplied gas, and without the application of pressure.
Smoke extractions nozzle - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅They operate by capturing the fume
generated by the welding process right at the source, over and around the weld pool.
Carbon - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A nonmetallic element that can be found in all organic
and many inorganic compounds, the most common allowing element used in iron to change
its mechanical properties.
Slag - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A nonmetallic product resulting from the mutual
dissolution of flux and nonmetallic impurities in some welding and brazing processes.
Water-cooled gun - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅It has ducts to permit water to circulate
around the contact tube and nozzle.
Air-cooled gun - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅It is cooled primarily by the surrounding air,
but a shielding gas, when used, provides additional cooling effects.
Deoxidizer - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅An element such as silicon that is added to a flux
for the purpose of removing oxygen from the molten weld pool.
Spools - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A filter metal package configuration in which the wire
is wound on a cylinder (called a barrel), which is flanged at both ends. The flange contains a
spindle hole centered inside the barrel.
Coils - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅They come wrapped and/or wire tied together. They are
mounted so they must be supported on a frame on the wire feeder in order to be used.
