Trust Me, I’m A Welder!
CLF2301, CLF2303, CLF2349
And I did all the welding on this PowerPoint…
Morgan Perry - AgEd 410, Spring 2013
To The Teacher: This PowerPoint covers the basics in the Core Curriculum standards for
CLF2301, CLF2303, CLF2349
Upon completion of this Welding Safety and Electrode Classification lesson, the student will be able to: (G-1) Pass a shop safety test
(G-10) Demonstrate the proper use of arc welding equipment
(G-3) Be familiar with the American Welding Society (AWS) classification for electrodes
Evaluation of knowledge: A passing score on a safety test, unit exam or quiz by the instructor
Correct identification of electrodes
Activities: Used to enhance and solidify the knowledge and skills learned during this
lesson.
Welding Safety Activities CLF2301, CLF2349: Practice changing lenses and head gear in arc welding helmets.
Practice identifying and handling arc welding equipment, making sure that all safety procedures are followed and that suitable clothing is being worn.
Welding Electrodes Activities CLF2303, CLF2349: Select six different arc electrodes and outline in writing each of their characteristics.
Weld a bead with each of the six arc electrodes and describe in writing how each electrode reacts during the welding process.
Weld various beads using DC straight, DC reverse, and AC type currents.
Today’s Objectives: What is Arc Welding
Five Types of Arc Welding
Welding Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye and Face Protection
Important Safety Rules
How to Properly Classify Electrodes
Arc Welding Arc welding is when two metals are joined together through the use of an
electric arc, or current, between a coated metal electrode and a base metal.
The Five Types of Arc Welding1. SMAW-Shielded Metal Arc Welding
2. GTAW/TIG-Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
3. GMAW-Gas Metal Arc Welding
4. FCAW-Flux Core Arc Welding
5. SAW-Submerged Arc Welding

Classification of Electrodes The American Welding Society (AWS)
has developed the following electrode classification system: The E means that the electrode is used
for electric arc welding
The first two digits indicate the tensile strength
The third digit tells you in what position the electrode can be used in
The fourth digit indicates any special characteristics of the electrode
Electrode Selection Guide:
Choosing the Correct Electrode
Electrode Diameter
Joint Design
Welding Position
Type of Welding Current
• The electrode should produce a weld metal approximately the same metallurgical properties as the parent metal.
• Choose one that will provide good arc stability, fast deposition, maximum weld strength, minimum splatter, easy slag removal, and a smooth weld bead
E-70-1-8 What does the ‘E’ stand for?
What do the next two numbers represent?
What does the third digit mean?
What does the fourth number tell you?
E means that the electrode is for electric arc welding
The tensile strength in thousands of psi
Electrode position
Electrodes special characteristics
FFA and SAE Welding Project Ideas: Work in a welding shop that specializes in
agricultural welding
Fabricate and weld a project for a fair Table or bench
Forklift fork
Art installation
Create a poster explaining the difference between different welding electrodes
Create a video demonstrating the importance of shop safety for your local Chapter to use
