Safety is important when welding. Make sure you have protective clothing (jacket, no frayed pants, helmet with proper shade, steel toe boots if material falls, etc.) Make sure people around you know your welding! Eye surgery sucks! NO Flammable liquids! (lacquer thinner is great for cleaning dirty metal before welding, but causes really big flames if you don't wipe off with a simple green type cleaner) Know where to kill the power if you have a problem, and where the extinguishers are VENTILATION! Clean air, good, welding fumes not so good.

∙ 15y agoAccidental damage to the thing you are welding or surrounds is a hazard. To personnel, eye damage from looking at the arc can happen, especially if the weldor does not take proper precautions. Weldors can also get 'sunburns' from the arc if not dressed properly. And, of course, you can get burned touching a hot piece.

What is shielding gas arc welding?
shielded metal arc welding does not required any shielding gas
Can you use home generator to power arc welding machine?
As long as it is rated for wattage output for required voltage for welding machine
Name the welding processes covered in this chapter which may use a shielding gas to shield the weld area?
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Gas Metal Arc Welding Flux Cored Arc Welding
What are smaw welding?
smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
Difference between ERW and SAW welding?
SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.
What is shielding gas arc welding?
shielded metal arc welding does not required any shielding gas
What is full form of ARC in arc welding?
The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.

What is the full form of arc welding?
If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
Is back gausing required in submerge arc welding in square butt joint?
yes it can possible
Where do you prefer arc welding?
Almost all welding today is done with electricity (Arc Welding) even on cast iron. SMAW, GTAW, GMAW etc. --AW means Arc Welding.
Does arc welding create ozone?
Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.
Name the welding processes covered in this chapter which may use a shielding gas to shield the weld area?
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Gas Metal Arc Welding Flux Cored Arc Welding
What is full form of arc welding?
If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
Explain the principle behind arc welding.?
Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.
What are smaw welding?
smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
Can you use LPG for ARC welding?
ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.
