How will you stick metal to another metal?
welding.
Why is argon used in whelding?
Argon is used in welding as a shielding gas to protect the weld area from atmospheric gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. It helps prevent oxidation and enhances the quality of the weld by creating a stable arc and reducing spatter. Additionally, argon is chemically inert, which makes it suitable for a wide range of welding applications.
Why does welding rod stick on metal?
To get a smooth welding action, you need to strike a proper spark that gets the Rod melting properly.
Which welding process is used primarily for welding ferrous metals such as iron and steel?
I would say that SMAW (stick) is still the most widely used process. The GMAW (mig) process has gained a wide acceptance in construction and fabrication and may even have surpassed stick welding in many situations. Unfortunately with mig welding the machine has to be close to the welding site. Dragging a welding lead into and around fabrications is still much easier than moving a mig machine.
Is chapstick flammable?
yes it is cause a substance in the chap stick can cause a fire
What are welding sparks called?
The 'welding sparks' that come off during welding are metal particles from the filler metal, electrode, or base metal that are lost during welding. The standard term is spatter.
How do you stop spatter in mag welding?
Change to a different process. MIG welding ALWAYS, always, always creates spatter. How you stop excessive spatter is by adjusting the voltage and wire speed. Lower voltage and faster wire speed = more spatter. Higher voltage and lower wire speed = less spatter. How you find the magic combination for the weld you are making is to test in an inconspicuous place - run a bead, check for spatter, adjust the two settings, run another bead...eventually you will get to the point where you're getting a nice weld with an acceptable amount of spatter, and then you weld your project with it.
How can you keep the arc from spattering as you weld?
for mig welding spatter can be reduced by amp, voltage and wire speed adjustment. check shielding gas. stick welding check the recommended voltage, amps and application for the rod you are using keep your arc short. tig welding, be sure you are using the proper tungsten, and shielding gas and filler rod for the metal you are welding, don't dip the tungsten. make sure the metal you are welding is clean .
What are welding defects?
1. crack 2. spatter 3.distortion 4. haz 5 blow holes
What is the technically correct name for gas welding?
Stick welding
What is a vertical stick?
Welding tip
True or false is chrome plating causes spatter to stick to the tip prolonging cleanup?
false

What is stick welding?
Stick welding is a process in which a metal joint is fused together by the intense heat generated by an electrical arc. The "stick" in stick welding comes from the stick electrode that acts as the arc emitter and as a filler rod. It is used in various welding applications especially for heavy metal work. It is commonly used for this because of the ease of transmitting a powerful arc though the stick electrode.
Do have to take stick welding before tig welding?
I was taught oxy/acetylene welding first, then stick. TIG welding is just like oxy/acetylene except much easier (less variables and a foot control to make minor corrections or even pulse the weld) I would recommend you learn both. TIG welding for precise/clean welding. Stick for some larger, perhaps special welding (hard facing tools - bigger pieces of steel).
What is SMAW?
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".
In MIG welding what are the polarities of the torch and the work-piece and what is the fundamental reason for this?
MIG welding works only with reversed polarity, DC+, + at the torch. The reason is mostly the stability of the arc. Using DC- will result in a very unstable arc with lots of spatter.
