The depth that a weld extends into the joint root. Threaded joint sealed, without thread compound, by backwelding. Arc welding with equipment that controls only the filler metal feed. The advance of the welding is manually controlled. An arc weIding process that produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an arc between a covered metal electrode and the workpieces.
Shielding is obtained from decomposition of the electrode covering.
Pressure is not used and filler metal is obtained from the electrode. Non metallic solid material entrapped in weld metal or between weld metal and base metal. The metal particles expelled during fusion welding which do not form a part of the weld. A nonstandard term for direct current electrode negative. The distance from the beginning of the joint root perpendicular to the hypotenuse of the largest right triangle that can be inscribed within the cross section of a fillet weld.
