z#1) smaw - the 5 essentials sep 7 at 8:06pm instructions ents will watch the hobart video and then answer the knowledge they have learned from the video. question 6 a weld that is wide, flat, and has excessive spatter is a good indicator of what? incorrect angle current is set too high current is set too low travel speed is too fast

Explanation:

In Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), when the welding current is set too high, the weld tends to be wide, flat, and have excessive spatter. An incorrect angle would affect the weld's shape and penetration differently, a low current would result in a narrow, tall weld with poor fusion, and too fast travel speed would lead to a narrow, incomplete weld. So the correct indicator for a wide, flat weld with excessive spatter is that the current is set too high. But wait, the hand in the image points to "current is set too low", which is incorrect. The correct option should be "current is set too high". Wait, let's re - check: When current is too high in SMAW, the arc is more forceful, causing the weld pool to spread out (wide), be flat (due to excessive heat melting more and the force spreading it), and more spatter (because the high current causes more metal to be ejected as spatter). When current is too low, the weld is narrow, tall, and has poor fusion. So the correct answer is the option "current is set too high". But the hand in the image is on "current is set too low", which is a mistake. So the correct option is the one stating "current is set too high".

Answer:

B. current is set too high (assuming the options are labeled as A: incorrect angle, B: current is set too high, C: current is set too low, D: travel speed is too fast)
