Question 1 of 10
GMAW: Equipment
If you could adjust the slope (as you can on some machines), what effect would a too steep slope have?
-
The pinch effect will be applied rapidly and the molten drop will be violently "squeezed" off the electrode and cause excessive spatter.
-
The short circuit current will rise rapidly to a high level. The pinch effect will also be high and the molten drop will separate violently from the wire. The excessive pinch effect will abruptly squeeze the metal aside, clear the short circuit, and create excessive spatter.
-
The electrode will carry the full current, but the pinch effect may be too low to separate the drop and re-establish the arc. Under these conditions, the electrode will either pile up on the workpiece or freeze to the puddle.
