Best Answer

The legth of the gas nozzle can affect the MIG welding process because it modifies the "electrode extension" or so called stickout.

The longer the nozzle the longer electrode extension needed to keep the arc away from it thus the value od the welding current and arc voltage changes. These changes will have a great effect on the weld.

In arc welding electrical energy is changed to heat energy?

Heat in plasma arc welding (PAW) transferred arc mode is generated by the arc that is established between the electrode and the workpiece. The orifice gas inside the constricting nozzle is then heat and ionized by the arc. The ionized gas is in the form of plasma and is sent out of the constricting nozzle in a concentrated, cylindrical shape. Thus, creating temperatures greater than 10000 degrees Celsius. This process is very similar to gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).

What does the the nozzle do on a Bunsen burner?

The nozzle that the burner tubing connects to allows gas to enter into the burner. Also, the nozzle has a lever that allows you to control how much gas will flow into the burner.


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.


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.

How does a wedco model 40730 nozzle work?

The Wedco Nozzle is a CARB compliant spill-proof gas can nozzle. With the nozzle in place you can invert your gas can and it will not leak. Then simply push the nozzle lock and push the nozzle against the rim of the filling throat of the tank you're filling to start the flow of fuel. If you lift the nozzle away from the rim the flow stops.
