The formula for efficiency including stub loss must always be used when estimating the cost of depositing weld metal by the ____ method.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) method involves a significant amount of stub loss, which is the unused portion of the electrode. This loss must be accounted for when estimating the cost of depositing weld metal, making the efficiency formula that includes stub loss particularly relevant for SMAW.
