Most stick welding SMAW is done with Direct Current DC. As this current passes thru the base metal it can set up a circular current on either side of the weld area creating a magnetic effect. The arc is affected by this and whips back and forth drawn by this magnetic field. Metal is blown out of the arc and splatters onto the sides of the weld and the arc is hard to control. This arc blow can be reduced by passing a separate magnetic field thru the metal nullifying the effect, or by welding in the opposite direction, or by using Alternating Current AC

What is the area of an arc?
area of an arc =lenght of arc *radius/2
What is the arc length of the minor arc of 95 and 18.84?
find the arc length of minor arc 95 c= 18.84
Is arc length the same as arc measure?
No, arc measure is an ambiguous expression since it could also refer to the angular measure of the arc.
Part of the circumference of a circle is called?
An arc. The arc covering less than half the circumference is called a minor arc; the arc covering more than half is called a major arc.
The length of arc AB is 28.61 What is the length of arc ACB?
The length of arc ACB is 57.2.
