Question: 1 / 400

What will be the result if the amperage is set too low when stick welding?

The bead cools too quickly

If the amperage is set too low when stick welding, the bead will cool too quickly. This will make the weld weaker and less smooth. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the outcome of having a low amperage. The electrode burning too fast and too much splatter occurring could both be a result of using the wrong type of electrode, while difficulty striking and keeping the arc running is more related to technique than amperage.
