Textbook Question

Chapter 30, Problem 52SDP

Arc blow is a phenomenon where the magnetic field induced by the welding current, passing through the electrode and workpiece in shielded metal arc welding, interacts with the arc and causes severe weld splatter. Identify the variables that you think are important in arc blow. When arc blow is a problem, would you recommend minimizing it by using AC or DC power?
