Question: Which welding process is generally associated with the highest deposition rates?
Answer options: ✅ Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)
- Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) - Short-circuit transfer
Correct answer: Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)
Explanation: FCAW, especially with an outer gas shield, can achieve very high deposition rates due to its continuously fed electrode and the ability to use larger diameter wires and higher current settings.
