Non-Transferred arc
✔✔In North America, the 3 othographic views most commonly-used are: TOP, FRONT
and __________ Side.
[RIGHT / LEFT] - ✔✔LEFT
✔✔What is the difference between a "weld symbol" and a "welding symbol"? - ✔✔A
"weld symbol" indicates the specific kind of weld to be used (ex. fillet), and is contained
inside of "welding symbol".

weld symbol? - ✔✔LEFT
✔✔In a welding symbol, is the length of the weld located to the LEFT or RIGHT of the
fillet weld symbol? - ✔✔RIGHT
✔✔In what direction do the electrons flow in an electrical arc?
(A) anode --> cathode

✔✔In arc welding, the arc temperature can exceed temperatures of __________ °
Celsius? - ✔✔30,000
✔✔Which welding process has the highest arc efficiency? - ✔✔SAW
✔✔Arc voltage __________ when arc length is increased.

DCEP? - ✔✔Shallow penetration, and wide weld
, ✔✔Which polarity is most often chosen for direct current GTAW welding of steels and
why? - ✔✔DCEN. More heat concentrated at the workpiece --> deeper penetration

✔✔AC transformer welding power sources use a:
(A) step-up transformer
(B) step-down transformer - ✔✔(B) Step-down transformer
✔✔What is a diode used for in a welding machine?
(A) To produce AC current
(B) To produce DC current - ✔✔(B) To produce DC current
✔✔The typical duty cycle for a Class 1 industrial welding power source is:
(A) 20%
