12.73 If a built-up weld is to be constructed (see
Fig. 12.5), should all of it be done at once, or
should it be done a little at a time, with suffi-
cient time allowed for cooling between beads?
12.74 Describe the reasons that fatigue failure gener-
tions 2.7 and 3.8) are complex phenomena. Re-
good fatigue resistance. However, the heat af-
Fig. 12.15 on p. 749). In addition, there is a
stress concentration associated with the weld,
12.75 If the parts to be welded are preheated, is the
likelihood that porosity will form increased or
decreased? Explain.
12.76 What is the advantage of electron-beam and
laser-beam welding, as compared to arc weld-
ing?
The main advantages of these processes are as-
sociated with the very small weld zone, and the
localized energy input and small heat-affected
zone. Weld failures, especially by fatigue, oc-
welds, explain the methods by which they can
the common defects are porosity, inclusions, in-

electrodes. What functions do coatings have?
How are electrodes classified?
There are many characteristics of electrodes
