Source sentences:
text: Consumable electrode processes such as shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding generally use direct current, but the electrode can be charged either positively or negatively.
text: Reversing the polarity so that the electrode is positively charged (DCEP) and the workpiece is negatively charged increases the weld penetration.
text: Consumable electrode processes such as shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding generally use direct current, but the electrode can be charged either positively or negatively.
text: If the electrode is positively charged, the base metal will be hotter, increasing weld penetration and welding speed.
text: Thus, at equilibrium, a few electrons are transferred, enough to cause the electrodes to be charged.
text: Alternating current is rarely used with GMAW; instead, direct current is employed and the electrode is generally positively charged.
