Page 14: Basic Welding Techniques
7.0 Basic Welding Techniques Fundamentals of Manual Metal Arc stick to the work, penetration is poor and beads with a distinct rounded profile will be deposited. (MMA) Welding Excessive current is accompanied by overheating Welding Technique of the electrode. It will cause undercut and burning Successful MMA welding depends on the following through of the material, and will give excessive factors:... - Page 15 size, size of run required and the amperage used. Excessive travel speeds lead to poor fusion, lack of penetration etc, while too slow a rate of travel will frequently lead to arc instability, slag inclusions and poor mechanical properties. Correct work preparation The method of preparation of components to be welded will depend on equipment available and relative costs.
