In DC welding, the straight polarity (electrode negative)

Home » Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering » Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering Miscellaneous » Question

In DC welding, the straight polarity (electrode negative) results in

1. Lower penetration
2. Lower deposition rate
3. Less heating of work piece
4. Smaller weld pool

Correct Option: B

Lower penetration because of 2/3rd heat is generated at work piece so lower deposition rate of consumable electrode or filter material can be observed.
