The weld passes table typically lists which parameters?

• A. Technique (weave or string), electrode size, amperage, voltage, and travel speed
• B. Shielding gas type and flow
• C. Post weld heat treatment time
• D. Cleaning method

Answer: (A)

The information in a weld passes table is the set of deposition parameters used to control how each pass is laid down. This includes the technique (whether you weave or use a stringer bead), the electrode size, and the electrical settings—amperage and voltage—along with the travel speed. Each of these factors determines heat input, bead size, and deposition rate, which is why they’re specified per pass to reproduce consistent welds.

Shielding gas type and flow, post-weld heat treatment time, and cleaning method are important parts of welding practice, but they’re not per-pass deposition parameters. Shielding gas setup is usually defined separately for the process, post-weld heat treatment is a separate post-weld step, and cleaning methods pertain to surface preparation and finishing, not the per-pass deposition details.
