What is the main purpose of preheating metal before welding?
✔✔ Preheating reduces the risk of cracking by minimizing the temperature difference between
the weld and the base metal.
Why is proper electrode storage important in welding?
✔✔ Proper storage prevents electrodes from absorbing moisture, which can lead to porosity in
the weld.
What is the function of a backing strip in welding?
✔✔ A backing strip supports the molten weld metal and prevents it from falling through the
joint.
How can you ensure a clean weld surface before starting?
✔✔ Remove dirt, rust, oil, and other contaminants from the weld area to ensure proper fusion.

, What happens if you use excessive heat during welding?
✔✔ Excessive heat can weaken the weld, cause warping, and increase the risk of defects like
undercutting.
Why is controlling the travel speed important during welding?
✔✔ Post-weld heat treatment relieves residual stresses and improves the weld's mechanical
properties.
Why is shielding gas important in welding?
✔✔ Shielding gas protects the weld pool from atmospheric contamination like oxygen and
nitrogen.
What causes porosity in a weld?
✔✔ Porosity is caused by trapped gas pockets, often due to contaminants or improper shielding
gas coverage.
