Weld Polarity Characteristics

Weld polarity is not only necessary knowledge to have for know what rods can be used on certain polarities. This information also expands into how the polarity affects the penetration of the weld. This demonstration on the whiteboard is similar to how I would demonstrate to my welding students at a community college. As a journeyman welder I see apprentices coming into the field with no knowledge of this subject matter and I believe it is very important to be taught.

I’m interested in welding, I’m taking an EMT class right now to become a firefighter, but idk what to do. Welding seems fun.

Welcome to the field of welding!! Welding is fun, or at least I view it as fun! With many folks who are interested in welding, I usually suggest taking a welding class at a local community college to test the waters. Some folks find out they don’t care for it, while others find a life long career in welding. I will not guarantee it to be easy or simple, but I know the hard work and determination has paid off for many who have entered the field. If you have questions about the welding industry, I would be more than happy to answer them to the best of my ability! Thank you for commenting!!
