1. Contaminated or dirty electrode or workpiece surface
2. Incorrect electrode size or type for the welding process
3. Incorrect welding current or voltage settings
4. Poor fit-up or misalignment of the workpieces
5. Excessive distance between the electrode and workpiece
6. Poor shielding gas coverage or improper gas flow rate
7. Presence of moisture or oil on the workpiece surface
8. Poor grounding of the workpiece
9. Electrode sticking to the workpiece
10. Inadequate or improper cleaning of the workpiece before welding.

Factors that can hinder the striking of an arc:
- Insufficient voltage: The voltage between the electrode and the workpiece must be high enough to ionize the gap and sustain the arc.
- Improper electrode gap: The gap between the electrode and the workpiece should be within the recommended range.
- Excessive electrode wear: Worn electrodes can result in poor contact and reduced current flow.
- Contamination of the electrode or workpiece: Grease, dirt, or other contaminants on the electrode or workpiece can interfere with the arc formation.
- Shielding gas issues: In certain welding processes, shielding gases are used to protect the weld area from contamination. Insufficient gas flow or improper gas composition can hinder arc striking.
- Poor electrical connections: Loose or damaged electrical connections can limit the current flow necessary for arc initiation.
- Faulty equipment: Malfunctioning welding machines, torches, or cables can prevent the arc from striking properly.
- Incorrect polarity: In certain welding processes, the polarity of the electrode and workpiece must be correct for proper arc striking.
- Electromagnetic interference: External electromagnetic fields can disrupt the arc initiation process.
- Humidity: Excessive humidity in the environment can make it difficult to strike an arc.
