Best Answer

arc welding such as SMAW (stick), GMAW (mig). Some cast metals may be brazed for certain applications.

The actual properties of the Cast metal will be needed for the type of electrode and/or process.

Which welding process is used primarily for welding ferrous metals such as iron and steel?

I would say that SMAW (stick) is still the most widely used process. The GMAW (mig) process has gained a wide acceptance in construction and fabrication and may even have surpassed stick welding in many situations. Unfortunately with mig welding the machine has to be close to the welding site. Dragging a welding lead into and around fabrications is still much easier than moving a mig machine.


The most commonly used welding processes are?

There are a few commonly used welding process. The top used are shielded metal and arc welding.


The magnaflux process can used to detect cracks in?

Cast iron heads.


When was welding founded?

Welding has been around since the Bronze Age when man needed to join two or more pieces of brass/bronze. Forge welding was probably used at this time also. Forge welding as we know it was used during the Iron Age when Cast Iron was developed. But the modern welding you see (Oxyfuel Torches, Plasma Cutters, Mig Guns Etc....) was founded or developed just in the last 110 years or so.


Why filler materials are used in welding process?

filler materials are used to fill the gap between the two job materials during the welding process


Which process uses an insert gas used for welding?

TIG welding uses Argon.


Did welders use oxygen gas to weld anything?

Yes, oxygen is used in a process called oxygen- acetylene welding and brazing. Oxygen- acetylene welding mixes the two gases to producea flame to melt the metal to be welded. Afiller materialisfed into the "puddle" to form the weld. It is used normally on thin metals and cast metals. Brazing is much the same but the filler material is coated in a flux to keep impurities out of the weld. It is used on cast steels and cast iron.


What is resistance welding?

Arc. It's where electrical resistance is used to create the heat for the welding process.


What happens when aluminium reacts with iron oxide and where is this reaction used?

Iron is formed with aluminium oxide. The reaction is used for welding iron (steel) components.


What type of electrodes are used in MMA arc welding?

A huge variety of electrodes are available. MMA, SMAW, STICK WELDING are all the same process. Electrodes are produced to weld almost all metal and metal alloys. From steel to cast iron to aluminum to stainless steel to monels to ???? If it can be STICK WELDED an Electrode is made to do the job.


What is welding cable used for?

A welding cable is used for joining or linking up wires or cable. Welding is the process of joining two things together, and the cable is the connector.


What metal is not used to weld the gas tungsten welding process?

The tungsteng electrode, because this one not is a filler metal in this process. The individual may be asking what metal can you not weld using the TIG process. In that case cast iron, zinc (including zinc coated metals), lead and any metal with a low melting temperature would be the answer.
