Is O2 also added to shielding gas in tungsten arc welding process?

No, that would defeat the purpose. Shielding gases must be inert (e.g. argon, helium).

What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
Difference between tungsten lamps and carbon lamps?
tungsten lamp has got inert gas argonsometimes iodine is added to improve intensity carbon filament produces less light than tungsten lamp but it radiates much less energy in the form of heat waves
What causes the sheilding effect to remain constant across a period?
Electron shielding is not a factor across a period because they all have the same number of electron shells! No further (extra) shells means that they are all affected by electron shielding equally.
Why is an alloy called solder used for welding?
It isn't. It's called soldering when you join two pieces of metals together using a 3rd metal with a very low melting point. Welding, then both the "parent" metals and the added metals are melted. Usually at a lot higher temperature.
When polysaccharides are divided into monosaccharides what molecule must be added?
water must be added and the process is called Hydrolysis
What does oxygen have to do with welding?
Oxygen is an atmospheric gas that is unwanted in almost all welding processes because in it's molten state, metal oxidizes very easily and causes a weak joint. Weld surfaces are protected during the welding process to keep oxygen from contaminating the weld either by a shielding gas, flux, or in torch welding, the torches own exhaust. Occasionally however, oxygen may be added to the shielding gas mix in small amounts to stabilize the arc and reduce undercutting.
What are the kinds of welding?
There are a considerable number of welding processes that cover a vast range of metals and some nonmetals in most industries and applications. An excellent resource for welding information is The American Welding Society (AWS.org). A short list of the most common processes are: Oxygen Fuel Gas (OFG) which includes welding and cutting equipment where oxygen is mixed with a fuel gas such as acetylene, propane, etc. and a torch is used. Shielded Metal Arc (SMAW) sometimes called "Stick Rod" welding. This is a manual process that uses a flux covered wire electrode that melts during welding to form the filler metal. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) sometimes called "MIG" (for Metal Inert Gas) which is a semi automatic process that uses a bare or flux cored wire that is delivered by a spool drive during welding. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) sometimes called "TIG" (for Tungsten Inert Gas) or Heiliarc (trade name by the Lindy corp.) which uses a non consumable Tungsten electrode in an inert gas shielded gas torch. The Tungsten's produces the heat (via an electric current) and filler metal is added by "dipping" the tip of a bare wire to the weld puddle. The list goes on to include things like Electron Beam Welding , Plasma Arc Welding / Cutting, Friction Welding, Explosion Welding. Microwave Welding, Plastic Welding, etc.. Welding is used on everything from auto mufflers to space vehicles and medical instruments.

How strong Tungsten is?
It is a extremely durable metal but often mistaken as Tungsten Carbide. Tungsten Carbide is Tungsten ground to a powder with Carbon and compressed then nickel is heated and added as the binding agent or glue. The result is a very hard composition, but it is not a metal and it is not a solid. It is, however brittle. This means it is prone to chipping or cracking when Tungsten Carbide hits a hard surface.
The two types of welds are?
TIG uses tungsten in a gun and electricity to melt the material, the user must manually add filler rod. Needs shielding gas Mig uses a gun, but the filler rod flows out of the gun. Electricity flows from tip of wire into material. needs shielding gas except with flux-cored wire. SMAW uses pre fluxed electrodes. electricity flows trough electrode holder, into material when material is scraped by electrode. No shielding gas. Oxy-fuel. Flame welding. Oxygen and a fuel (acetylene, propane, mapp, etc.) are mixed in a torch, ignited, and used to melt material. filler wire is manually added. There are more indepth explanations, and advanced machines, but that is the basics.
Difference between tungsten lamps and carbon lamps?
tungsten lamp has got inert gas argonsometimes iodine is added to improve intensity carbon filament produces less light than tungsten lamp but it radiates much less energy in the form of heat waves
What is meant by homogeneous welding?
When two items of the same alloy are joined with no filler added or with filler added of the same alloy. It is all the same material.
Advantage and disadvantage of arc welding?
Arc welding has many preferable qualities in welding such as: Faster weld speeds (obvious economics). Less distortion from thermal expansion/contraction. Addition of alloying elements in the electrode flux or coating. Higher weld qualities since scavenging agents can be added that will combine a "float out" impurities. The gas shield from the flux or additional externally added inert gas shields the molten weld pool from harmful atmospheric gases such as oxygen (oxidising) and hydrogen (embrittlement). A better selection of weldable materials (extremely difficult to "torch" weld aluminum due to oxide formation and high thermal conductivity is one example magnesium will start to burn and is hard to put out would be another example).
What do mean by flux and slag?
In (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding 'stick welding': Flux is the substance added to to molten metals to bond with impurities that can be readily removed. Slag is the waste material which is removed.
Is there a standard process for club butt in steel structure?
In the welding process of Fast Steel Factories Co., Ltd., the rods need to be beveled at 30° to 45° in the factory, and a lining ring with a thickness of not less than 6mm and a width of 30 to 50mm is added to the pipe. Use the tire mold to connect the rod with the steel ball according to the design space position, so that the lining ring and the steel ball are tightly combined, leaving a gap of 2-6mm between the pipe end and the surface of the steel ball. Before welding, clean and grind the groove to remove rust and oil stains. The bottoming of manual arc welding should be spot welded and penetrated, and layered all-position welding.
What types of welding are there?
Their are dozens of types of welding, consult the American Welding Society(AWS) for a complete layout. However there are 3 types that will be used the most. One of them very ancient and takes some extra skill. The first is Arc Welding, which uses an electric arc to melt the metal and then filler metal is added to bond the joint. The second is Gas Welding, which uses a gas or sometimes an oxygen and gas combination to create a flame and melt the metal. Then add a filler to bond it. Gas is also used to cut metal in fabrication. The third is Forge Welding(Blacksmithing), this process uses intense heat and a charcoal fire to heat up the metal, to red pliable state so that may be pounded or molded into shape. This process has been around since the early days of mans need and desire to build and construct things. This method has to be taught by a special teacher and is now a specialty work as well.
What element is used as a hardener in metal alloys?
There are a number of elements that can be added to metals to increase their strength - carbon & tungsten are just two examples.
