(£6010,£6011), Basic constituents of covering is cellulosic, . Deep penetration, forceful arc, rapid burn-off rate. Contain 4-6% moisture No backing is required. 52. What is basic electrode? (E7018,£7018-1) Flux covering is high in calcium, carbonate, calcium fluoride. » No combined water is available and hence no hydrogen pick-up. Good transfer efficiency of alloying elements from the coating to weld deposit. Smoother and quite arc, low spatter, adequate penetration. Good impact, low hydrogen Crack resistance. High radiographic acceptance.(Quality) 53, How do you take care of low hydrogen electrodes? Keep boxes in closed room with < 50% RH. ‘Open only those boxes which are to be used.

How is Magnetic Particte inspection of a weld using the wet continuous test methad performed? The particles (usually fluorescent) are sprayed, poured on oF applied by immersion and the magnetizing current is applied while the partictes are stil flowing- ee indications with Liquid Penetrant Testing are easily seen if the surface has been prepared by grinding prior to testing? True/false? Why? False, because grinding can smear metal 68. Name an NOT method and technique that employs a reflected sound bea! volumetric examination of welds? Ultrasonic Testing using Shear Wave Technique provides good volumetric exam coverage 69.
