Title: Describe the theories behind SMAW.
Course: Welding I (13207-I) > Section: Demonstrating Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)

Description should include basic variations in SMAW.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference between a 7018 and a 6011?
- What is the difference between direct current and alternating current?
- What is polarity?
- How would you describe SMAW? Is it a constant current or constant voltage process?
- What effect does arc length have on the performance of a weld?
