Is inconel weldable?

INCONEL alloy 600 is readily joined by conventional welding processes. Welding materials for joining alloy 600 are INCONEL Welding Electrode 182 for shielded metal-arc welding*, INCONEL Filler Metal 82 for gas tungsten-arc and gas metal-arc welding, and INCONEL Filler Metal 82 and INCOFLUX 4 Submerged Arc Flux for the submerged-arc process. Welds made with INCONEL Welding Electrode 182 may have decreased ductility after extended exposure to temperatures of 1000° to 1400°F (540° to 760°).


What are the ten difference between TIG and MIG welding processes?

ElectrodeTIG welding uses a tungsten electrode that is not consumed during the welding process. MIG welding uses a metal electrode that doubles as filler material for the weld and is consumed during welding.Shielding GasTIG welding primarily uses argon as a shielding gas, with helium occasionally used. Argon is also the primary shielding gas used in MIG welding, but argon mixtures and carbon dioxide are often used for different applications.Filler MaterialTIG welding requires a separate filler material in rod or wire format because the electrode is not consumed. MIG welding delivers the filler material via the electrode.Work Piece MaterialsTIG welding can be applied to just about any metal, from steel to aluminum and exotic alloys. MIG welding was developed for nonferrous metals, but can be applied to steel.DifficultyTIG welding is considered to be more difficult than MIG welding because tighter tolerances have to be maintained between the electrode, the filler rod and the work piece.


What is the significance of the arc welding process?

The significance of the arc welding process are:-1. Flux Shielded Manual Metal Arc Welding is the simplest of all the arc welding processes.2. The equipment can be portable and the cost is fairly low.3. This process finds innumerable applications, because of the availability of a wide variety of electrodes.4. A big range of metals and their alloys can be welded.5. Welding can be carried out in any position with highest weld quality.6. The process can be very well employed for hard facing and metal deposition to reclaim parts or to develop other characteristics like wear resistance etc.ARSHAD H BHUTTOSALES ENGINEER-LINCOLN ELECTRIC WELDING PRODUCTS


What are applications of explosion welding over conventional welding?

The biggest application of explosion welding is the cladding of flat plate.


What is horizontal welding position?

Look at a wall. Imagine welding on that wall from left to right or right to left. That is horizontal welding.

What are the 5 different types of welding?

There are far more than 5 types or processes of welding. Currently the American Welding Society (AWS) states that there are more than 80 different welding and joining processes. However, some of the common welding processes include shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and oxyfuel gas welding (OFW).

What is your core competency for this position?

Depends on applicants expertise. If you are a welder, tell them what welding processes you knew, then what welding joint design you can weld and the welding position you can perform.


Whether HAZ is higher in gas welding or arc welding?

Larger in Gas Welding. In all arc processes the HAZ is concentrated in a couple inches around your bead. In gas welding it can be double or triple that size.

Is welding a semi skilled job?

It can be. Basic welding techniques can get you started in the welding field. Stick welding in the flat position for example. The more experience you get usually translates to more money. Certain processes take more skill such as TIG or plasma welding as well as pipe welding and underwater welding. These are considered highly skilled.
