Activity 4: Assessment
Directions: Identify what is asked for. Write your answer on the space provided.

__________________ 1. It is a method done by moving the electrode downward until it just

taps the base metal, then bringing electrode up slightly to form an arc with the same
distance from the diameter of electrode.
__________________ 2. It is a method done by scratching the electrode to the base metal
like scratching a match. As the electrode scratches the base metal, an arc will be formed. It
is the simplest method for most beginners.

________________ 3. What is the arc length that you should maintain in striking an arc and
performing welding?
________________ 4-9. Enumerate the tools and equipment needed in striking an arc.
________________ 10. If you would strike and arc, which do you think will be easy for you
