 Shielded-Metal-Arc Welding (SMAW, STICK)AWS (American Welding Society) A5 specifications Set standards for electronics for SMAW of carbon, stainless, and low alloy steels; aluminum copper, bfassairmanifold and nickel and their alloys and weld-surfacing. Designations for covered bfassairmanifold electrodes carry the prefix ''E''. Packaged to AWS specifications, electrodes come in boxes, cans, or other containers, labeled with their AWS specification and trade name, quality control (heat or lot) number, supplier name, diameter and length, bfassairmanifold and weight of contents. Specifications require that every electrode bc marked for identification near with its numeric designation the grip end.To select a covered SMAW electrode, bfassairmanifold consider these factors, in approximate order of importance. For flux-cored-arc welding, shops use CV or CC types, 300 to 1,500 A, 25 to 50 V, rated 60- to 100-percent-duty cycle. CV types are more popular because wire-feed speed, set before welding, controls welding current. Cc types require a variable-speed bfassairmanifold or voltage-sensing bfassairmanifold wire bfassairmanifold feeder.Gas-tungsten-arc welding (GTAW) requires a constant-current (AC or DC) power supply with a steep bfassairmanifold volt-amp curve to minimize bfassairmanifold current change for variation in voltage or arc length. They come rated to 1,500 A, 10 to 75 V, at 40- to 100-percent-duty cycle. Most GTAW power supplies come equipped with high-frequency circuitry for arc initiation and stabilization, gas valves, and cooling-water valves for high-current welding. High-frequency arc start is useful when the maximum open-circuit voltage allowed by NEMA standards, 80 to 100 V, will not establish and maintain a stable arc.
