Can you weld mild steel without argon just CO2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it is possible to weld mild steel using only CO2 gas as the shielding gas. CO2 can provide sufficient protection to prevent oxidation during the welding process. However, the quality of the weld may be lower compared to using a mixture of CO2 and argon, which can provide better weld bead appearance and reduced spatter.

What is the meaning of all welding positions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Welding is often done on structures in the position in which they are found.

Techniques have been developed to allow welding in any position. Some welding processes have all-position capabilities, while others may be used in only one or two positions.

All welding can be classified according to the position of the workpiece or the position of the welded joint on the plates or sections being welded.

For Fillet welds, following are the welding positions defined:

1. Flat (1F)

2. Horizontal (2F)

3. Vertical (3F)

4. Overhead (4F)

For Groove welds, following are the welding positions defined:

1. Flat (1G)

2. Horizontal (2G)

3. Vertical (3G)

4. Overhead (4G)

5. Flat 1G

6. Horizontal 2G

7. 5G position

8. 6 G position

Asked by Wiki User

Most likely just a High School Education or a GED (maybe not even that). You also need to go to a trade school that specializes in Underwater Welding. Also, it is a very dangerous job.

Looking for a welding job?

Asked by JonR

This sounds like the type of job that you would network or talk directly to the people in charge of the business. Brainstorm what companies would use welders (oil rigs, heating and ventilation, manufacturers, etc.) in your area and contact them all. It takes awhile for a job hunt to gather momentum, so you will have to get out and on the phone to make your contacts. Make sure you dress very nicely, have a basic resume and present yourself well. They may not have a job immediately, but most places get back with people who they think have promise.

How many credits does it take to earn a bachelers degree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

Is welding a good career choice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Welding is not for everyone. I am a Combination welder working in FL, I make $25 a hour. I also travel, so i get paid 75 dollars a working day. That comes out to be around $375 on top of my hourly pay. On 45 hour work week i make around $1300. This job will last for maybe 3 more months. After that i have to relocate, maybe to NC, this new jobmay actually pay more too. I do industrial work power plants, paper mills, chemical plants, and concrete plants, but i have to travel. If leaving home is not a option, shops are available. The pay is around $10- $13 dollars a hour. If you do drugs and cant really weld,by all means hire on there. If your a better person hire on with a company that pays $17 and up. These people understand welding! Places that build generators or airplane parts.

Anything important. Don't go weld for "Joe's Metal Doors". If your a illegal alien do it!

All in all, go for the top in welding. Work in a place where they respect the fact of a person exposing themselves to harmful rays and chemicals in the welding Fumes!

How do you weld stainless steel to stainless steel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can weld stainless steel to stainless steel using various welding methods such as TIG welding and MIG welding. However, it is best to get a professional to do the job. And understand that stainless steel does not weld very successfully under any circumstances - it will almost always, inevitably, break right next to the weld.

How do you Weld with a cutting torch?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You turn on the Acetylene and ignite it, you start to add oxygen via the control valve. You will see the colour changes from yellow to blue. There are two shades of blue, one is slightly darker than the other. Once the inner blue cone is down to a nice roaring bright light you are more or less set up to weld. Get your Filler wire (welding rod) put on your welding goggles and lower the flame to the piece of metal you wish to weld. You will start to see the metal heat and become molten. The next part takes practice. Once the metal has turned molten immediately start to add the filler wire; keeping the torch at about 45º move along the metal adding the wire at a constant steady rate. Insufficient filler wire will result in either undercut or the pool dropping through. Too much wire or moving to fast will result in either a poor weld or no weld at all. Speed and angles do not need to be 100% correct find what is comfortable for you.

Remember Gas welding is Extremely Dangerous and you should take courses in it before attempting it.

I will add a couple of links for you to get a more detailed idea lower in the page under related, source links.

What is the back step welding and why is this technique applied?

User Avatar

Asked by ArnoldMasangcay

This technique involves a continual stalling of the forward travel motion by traveling backwards slightly, into the previous deposited weld. This technique has two particular functions;

it helps improve the final microstructure, by reducing the solidification rate of the weld puddle and increases throat thickness.

Three ways of correctly using and maintaining cutting tools?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The maintenance needed for the blades of cutting tools is sharpening or replacing the blades when they get dull. For power cutting tools, oil must be checked and added when low. If they have a spark plug, they must be replaced from time to time. For battery cutting tools, the battery must be charged when low and new ones must be purchased from time to time.

Powered cutting tools must be kept out of the rain. Blades of cutting tools need to be kept clean.
