A prolonged temperature of 800 to 1600 degrees fahrenheit when welding stainless steel can cause ________________.

Electrode orientation affects bead shape and penetration to a greater extent than arc voltage or ________________.

Spray transfer requires the use of direct current, a positive electrode (DCEP), and a current level above a critical value called the ____________ current.

A voltage increase tends to _____________ the weld bead and increase the width of the fusion zone.

Spray transfer welding requires _____________ shielding.

___________ is not suitable for all position welding on stainless steel.

When all other variables are held constant, an increase in welding current (wire feed speed) will result in all except ______________.

For some materials, such as aluminum, a ___________ technique is preferred.

Which type of metal transfer is limited to use on thin stainless steel?

With all variables held constant, arc voltage is directly related to ______________.

The current and polarity selection for GMAW is ______________.

Because the spray transfer drops are smaller than the arc length, _________________ don't occur and spatter is negligible, if not totally eliminated.

For welding aluminum, which mode of metal transfer is preferred, even in all positions?

At _____________ travel speeds, the welding arc impinges on the molten weld pool, which reduces the effective penetration.
