What is shielding gas arc welding?
shielded metal arc welding does not required any shielding gas
What is the welding for MIG welding?
mig welding is Metal Inert Gas welding. it typically uses Constant voltage DC+ current. It uses a wire feeder that supplies the electrode to the weld puddle and shields the molten weld puddle with inert gas (argon/co2 blend). Filler wire and shielding gas depend on the metal being welded.
Does metalcore welding wire need shielding gas?
Yes it does. Metal Core wire doesn't have flux in his core, but powder metal. The powder metal doesn't have addition of "gas producing elements" to protect the weld puddle from ambient atmosphere. Your wire supplier will help you in the selection of proper shielding gas. But never forget they are "sellers" before everything. Don't be foul.
How can you keep the arc from spattering as you weld?
for mig welding spatter can be reduced by amp, voltage and wire speed adjustment. check shielding gas. stick welding check the recommended voltage, amps and application for the rod you are using keep your arc short. tig welding, be sure you are using the proper tungsten, and shielding gas and filler rod for the metal you are welding, don't dip the tungsten. make sure the metal you are welding is clean .
Name the welding processes covered in this chapter which may use a shielding gas to shield the weld area?

Definition of argon welding?
A.K.A. Gas Metal Arc Welding -- Semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
What is a welding lead?
the welding lead is the cable coming from the welding machine that either feeds the wire and shielding gas (mig) or or provides current to the electrode through the holder

What is the purpose of gas in MIG welding?
Metal inert gas (MIG) welding, is a process upon where a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun. If this is not enough information, there are many great articles about it on the web.
Does metalcore welding wire need shielding gas?
Yes it does. Metal Core wire doesn't have flux in his core, but powder metal. The powder metal doesn't have addition of "gas producing elements" to protect the weld puddle from ambient atmosphere.

What is the most commonly shielding gas for GMAW?
Argon is the most common gas used in gas metal arc welding.
MIG welding compared to flux core welding?
Flux core is a type of MIG welding.... please kind of know what your talking about before you ask a question.... Gas assisted solid mig wire welding is neater and cleaner. There are two types of flux core mig welding that you are talking about. 1. Gasless flux core mig wire 2. Shielded flux cored welding wire, uses a shielding gas as well. Most likely you are talking about the gasless mig wire. look here for more info: www.learn-how-to-weld.com/gasless-mig-wire.html
What are the variable parameters for TIG welding?
The variable parameters for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) include; current, arc length, electrode type, electrode size, electrode grind angle, shielding gas type, shielding gas flow rate, and travel speed.
Why flux is not used in tungsten gas arc welding?
The gas acts as the flux would, in shielding the molten steel from the oxygen in the air.
