Explain why proper set up of an FCA weld station is important.
What will be an ideal response?
Setup of the FCA weld station is the key to making quality welds. It may be possible, using a poorly set-up FCA welder, to make an acceptable weld in the flat position. The FCA welding process is often forgiving; thus welds can often be made even when the welder is not set correctly. However, such welds will have major defects such as excessive spatter, undercut, overlap, porosity, slag inclusions, and poor weld bead contours. Setup becomes even more important for out-of-position welds. Making vertical and overhead welds can be difficult for a student welder with a properly set-up system, but it becomes impossible with a system that is out of adjustment.
