II - DIRECTION: Identify the following components of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) set- up, types of
welding machine.
Choose your answer on the box bellow and write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

Welding machine, Electrode, MIG welding machines, Shielded Metal Arc Welding
Machine, Electric current, Wire brush, TIG welding machines, Plastic Welding
machines, Spot Welding Machines, Ground Cable, Electrode Holder, Welding cables

______________________1. It serve as the reference point in an electrical circuit from voltages which are
measured, it is also a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the Earth.
______________________2. It is a basic welding machine that has been around for many years it is also
called “Manual Metal Arc Welding Machine”.
______________________3. It is one of the most innovative and different kinds of welding machine. It is also
designed especially for welding plastic materials.
______________________4. It is the most versatile and the most common welding machine in home
workshops and industry. It can be also used for welding different metals including mild steel, stainless steel
and aluminum.
______________________5. It is a type of welding machine used to join 2 to 4 overlapping steel sheets up to
3 mm thick each.
 ______________________6. It is a solid and good electric conductor that carries electric current into non-
metallic solid, or liquids. It is also fused to join the two pieces of metal.
______________________7. It is more specialized than MIG welding machine these machines are used for
precision work and can weld more types of metal than any other process. It is suitable to use in stainless steel,
mild steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, gold, magnesium, Chromalloy, and nickel alloys.
______________________8. It served as the electrical conductor where the welding current flows. These
cables consist of fine copper strands enclosed inside a non-conductive and durable jacket made from synthetic
rubber which comes with a wide range of colors.
______________________9. It is commonly called a stinger and it is a clamping device for holding the
electrode securely in any position.
______________________10. This equipment used in welding works which joins the two or more pieces of
metals or thermoplastics by the use of heat.
