In ultrasonic welding what creates the heat required for welding?
What creates the heat is the flame inside the torch
What is the difference between arc welding and resistance welding?
in arc welding only heat is used to weld metal. but in resistance welding pressure will also be used along with heat.
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 determines weather the polarity of a welding machine is set for dcen or dcep?
DCEP supplies about two-thirds of the heat at the end of the rod, which allows more digging action, or penetration, into the base metal. It's what you want to use for thick steel. For thin steel, direct current electrode negative (DCEN) is best.
How can heat affect the state of an object?
Heat can affect the molecular composition of an object.
What is polarity in welding?
Polarity in welding has to do with the direction of the current in the welding process. With direct current (DC) the welding circuit can either be straight, or reverse polarity. When the machine is set for straight polarity, the current flows from the electrode to the weld surface and creates considerable heat in the metal. When the machine is in reverse polarity, the current is backwards and is flowing from the metal to the electrode causing a grater concentration of heat at the electrode.
What are the two polarities used with direct current welding?
reverse polarity and straight polarity The answer is right but a bit of furthur explanation is required. Polarity can be changed in DC output welding sets. The heat of the welding arc is concentrated on the positive terminal. So when thick plates are welded as more concentration of heat is required on the job the job is kept +ve ie. straight polarity is used. For thin plates concentration of heat is on the filler rod ,so reverse polarity is used.
What are the effects of the electrode polarity on welding in the SAW process?
Think of Polarity as water flow in a pipe. Reverse Polarity means the flow is from the work to the machine. Straight Polarity is flow from the machine to the work. Heat is released when the flow tries to jump the gap. So in Reverse Polarity (where most SMAW is done) the heat builds up in the base metal which is usually thicker than the Electrode. The extra heat there helps melt the base metal. Straight polarity is usually employed when welding thin metals.
What is reverse polarity in welding?
This is applicable to DC supply Arc Welding.In Layman language, when the electrode is given positive potential and the work piece is given negative potential, the weld formed is shallow and wide, this method is called 'Direct Current Reverse Polarity' (DCRP) welding procedure.When the machine is set on straight polarity, the electrons flow from the electrode to the plate, concentrating most of the heat on the work. With reverse polarity, the flow of electrons is from the plate to the electrode, thus causing a greater concentration of heat at the electrode. Because of this intense heat, the electrode tends to melt off; therefore, direct current reverse polarity (DCRP) requires a larger diameter electrode than direct current straight polarity (DCSP). Notice that DCSP produces a narrow, deep weld. Since the heat is concentrated on the work, the welding process is more rapid and there is less distortion of the base metal. Overall, straight polarity is preferred over reverse polarity because you can achieve better welds. DCRP forms a wide and shallow weld and is rarely used in the GTAW process. The exception to this is when it is used to weld sections of aluminum or magnesium.DCRP has excellent cleaning power that results from the action of positive charged gas ions. When these gas ions strike the metal, they pierce the oxide film and form a path for the welding current to follow. This same cleaning action occurs in the reverse polarity half of an alternating current welding cycle.

in arc welding only heat is used to weld metal. but in resistance welding pressure will also be used along with heat.
What is the term tw refers to in welding?
TW = thermite welding, a welding process that requires no external source of heat or current.
What is used in welding?
A device that can generate heat. Melted material and the welding operation is performed.
What type of welding is when metal is fused together by the heat of a welding flame?
It's called Fusion Welding. You answered your own question.
Why do you change polarity DCRP-DCSP in SMAW?
Using DCSP when welding thin material causes more heat to be concentrated in the electrode than in the base metal. This prevents the arc from burning thru thin materials before the electrode melts.
What is resistance welding?
Arc. It's where electrical resistance is used to create the heat for the welding process.
