Besides the steady sizzling sound that a correct arc produces, the shape of the molten pool
and the movement of the metal at the rear of the pool serve as a guide in checking weld
quality. In a correctly made deposit the ripples produced on the bead will be uniform and the
bead will be smooth, with no overlap or undercut.
2) CORRECT CURRENT
If current on equipment is too high or too low, you are certain to be disappointed in your weld.
If too high, the electrode melts too fast and your molten pool is large and irregular. If too low,
there is not enough heat to melt the base metal and your molten pool will be too small, will pile
up, and look irregular.
3) WELDING POSITION
Match electrode to welding position encountered.
4) WELDING CURRENT
Match power supply available. Some electrodes are designed for direct current (DC); other,
alternating current (AC); some, either,.jr. Observe correct polarity.
