Like any mechanical tool, machine or similar engineering equipment, an arc welder will have lots of different materials inside it.
An arc welder is an electrical machine and any electrical machine must have wiring inside it. Most electrical wiring will be made of Copper. So yes, there is likely to be some Copper inside an arc welder.

What is the proper ampere rating of circuit breaker for electric arc welder?
The proper ampere rating of a circuit breaker for an electric arc welder depends on the arc welder. Each is different. Look at the nameplate on the arc welder and choose the circuit breaker and wiring accordingly.
How does a pulse arc welder work?
For MIG (wire welder), the welder switches between a high energy arc and a low energy arc thousands of times a second, that gives it that distinct buzzing sound. This gives you control over the heat input on the metal that your welding, and you will have a lot of control over the arc characteristics, like arc width and length. Some machines will give you control right down to the amperage for each side of the pulse, and frequency of the pulse. A pulse welder takes some practice to set, but once set properly, you will have little to now spatter to clean up, and less distortion on parts. That's it in a nut shell anyway.NOTE: This is done in DC, some machines that are designed for welding aluminum can pulse in AC, most MIG welders that use pulse are only CV or both CC/CV power sources and ARE NOT capable of welding in AC.SIDE NOTE: Welding Aluminum is possible with a DC Pulse welder, given that the proper gas, wire, and weld gun is used.CC: Constant CurrentCV: Constant VoltageAC: Alternating CurrentDC: Direct Current
What is balance welding?
When welding on AC on a TIG welder you have to option to adjust how your arc passes from your torch to your metal and vice versa. This allows you to clawed your puddle clean of contaminants or burn your weld deeper while welding. When set on balanced, the arc equally passes in both directions.
Why arc strike occur in arc welding?
because you're making a short-circuit that's why!, whaddayaknow uh? More correctly as the label "arc welding" implies an arc is made by striking the metal to be welded with the electrode and this establishes the arc needed to generate the heat needed to melt the rod or filler metal and weld the parent metals together. The problem comes about when the arc is established outside of the area to be welded and this strike leaves a very hard area (due to the momentary strike that creates a hard node) that with any stress can become the start point for a crack or small fracture that with continued stress will grow until complete failure of the part. There are many examples of this occurring where, e.g. a single arc strike near a welded seam on a ship has started a crack that then moved to the welded seam and then followed the seam down the side, under the keel and the ship broke in half. So an arc strike occurs most commonly due to an accidental strike by a welder outside of the weld area where it will not be consumed by the weld process and if left will expose the part to potential failure at some time in the future. "Arc strike" is commonly used to describe a mark left on the metal caused by the misplaced arc being started outside the weld area. Welder competence will play a big part in the ability to strike an arc in the weld zone where intended but regardless of the reason for the "arc strike" the answer is to remove the arc strike to prevent possible part failure at some time in the future.
What is the device called that can convert DC into AC radio frequency something Arc?
An "electric arc" may generate radio frequency noise. There are many devices, having various purposes, which generate RF. Jacobs Ladder, arc welder, Tesla Coil, radio transmitter, microwave oven... Some generate RF for a specific purpose, others generate RF as a by-product.

What does a arc welder do?
it welds
What is the temp of an arc welder?
4500to6000 celsius
What is the difference between an arc welder and a stick welder?
Stick welding is also more difficult to learn and use, particularly the ability to strike and maintain an arc. Arc welders are available in AC, DC or AC/DC, with AC being the most economical. It's used for welding thicker metals of 1/16 inch or greater.
What is for MMA welder?
s.m.a.w. shielded metal arc welding
An arc welder provides 250 A of current when operating with a voltage of 40 V what is the power dissipated by this welder?
10,000 Watts
Is a welding arc as bright as the sun?
That that would depend on what welder you are using. But most welders do have a arc that is brighter than the sun
How you can use your 110v arc welder on 220v country?
You will need a 'step up transformer' but it is important to provide the details on the information panel of the welder before ordering
What year is a Lincoln arc welder sa200 f-163 serial-a461474?
It should be a 1947
You have miller welder powered by Tecumseh engine there is a system that advances the throttle when an arc is struck is this part of the engine or is it an attachment from the welder?
its part of the engine but works in conjunction with the PC board.
What size breaker is required for a 230v 180 amp craftsman arc welder?
maybe 10 amperes
