not it can always be changed back to its original shape. but if you burn metal which i dont consider doing it is a chemical change. like melting butter and burning butter. burning is chemical, melting can be cooled again into its original form.
no
Argon
Physical change
chemical change
Physical Change, the metal has the same chemical structure and only the shape of the bar has changed
No, it is a chemical change. The metal oxide formed is a new substance.
No. Welding is a profession and a method of holding two pieces of metal together.
In soldering and welding, 2 or more pieces of metal are joined by melting metal at the interface between them. When the molten metal cools and hardens, it physically bonds the pieces together.
When two pieces of metal are joined by welding they become one as if they were made that way. Welding replaced riveting and reduced the amount of metal used while producing a stronger joint.
You may be refering to the term SOLDER. If so it is used when soldering NOT welding.
Spot welding is known as resistance welding because the the two pieces of metal melt together at the point of highest resistance to current flow, basically when the electricity flows through the pieces it heats up at the point of highest resistance that is where where the metal pieces touch and in a direct line from the two contact tips on the spot welder. Simple!
Tac welding is not a specific material. Tac welding is a form of welding, that welder's use in order to hold two pieces' of metal together to get a proper fit. The tac weld can be easily broken if the two pieces' of metal aren't in the right place. So if you tac weld anything, the filler is going to be whatever material you are welding.
Thermofusing is the joining of two pieces of metal by means of a thermic reaction - as opposed to welding them. A thermic reaction is so hot, that it melts the ends of the pieces of metal to be joined (it's commonly used to join lengths of rail track together). Welding only heats the welding rod - not the surfaces to be joined.
Argon
Welding rods are fillers that add to the molten pool of metal. They are usually stronger than the metals being fused. In arc welding, they have a coating that burns and creates a shield around the puddle. welding rods are used for weld two pieces of metal together, or to cut metal if you have big enough rods and enough amps.
Cast iron welding rod is designed for the SMAW process which is built by flux and a filler metal that suits the base metal's chemical & mechanical properties.
- Melting - Pieces of metal or plastic can be melted together (welding, soldering - brazing or using chemicals)
A metal Surface being ground is a physical change, not a chemical change.
