• Gas Metal Arc Welding

• Flux Cored Arc Welding

• Shielded Metal Arc Welding

• Gas Tungsten Arch Welding

Which of the following statements about shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) is true?

• SMAW is a non-consumable electrode welding process.

• SMAW uses a consumable electrode coated in flux.

• SMAW relies on a gas shield to protect the weld pool.

• SMAW is primarily used for welding aluminum.

What type of power source is commonly used for SMAW?

• DC only

• AC only

• Both AC and DC

• AC with Pulse modlation

What is the function of a welding power source?

• To supply electrical energy to generate heat

• To regulate the flow of shielding gas

• To control the movement of the welding electrode

• To cool down the welded joint after welding

Give example purpose of welding.
