| 2. | DC welders are generator type
welding machines that are powered by electric motors, gas engines or other power
sources.
|
|
| 3. | One advantage of a DC welder is
that it needs to be plugged into a power source.
|
|
| 4. | Polarity is the direction in
which the current flows across the arc.
|
|
| 5. | AC/DC welders have the
advantage of only being able to do free hand welding, and automatic welding.
|
|
| 6. | A TIG welder can only be used
on an AC setting.
|
|
| 7. | The “Tig” process
of welding is called tungsten inert gas.
|
|
| 8. | The “Mig” process
of welding is called metallic inverted gas
|
|
| 9. | When welding with the mig a
consumable wire electrode is used instead of a rod.
