Warping in welding is caused by shrinkage of weld metal, faulty clamping of parts, faulty preparation and overheating of joints. Distortion in welding is caused by uneven heating, improper sequence and the shrinkage of the deposited metal.

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 is argon used in welding?
As an inert gas, it shields the weld from oxygen and corrosion during the melting process. Tig welding means "through inert gas".
Why is argon used as a gas in welding?
Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.
What produces heat during shielded metal arc welding?
Electrons flowing across an air gap produce an arc. The resistance built up that is needed to push these electrons across the gap produces the heat. This same resistance causes the electrodes to get hot.
What is the difference between friction stir welding and friction welding?
Friction stir welding also known as FSW means that the metal is not melted during the process of joining. This is a solid-state process in which you use a third "body" tool to join two surfaces. Between the tool and material a lot of heat is created which results in a soft region in the metal close to the FSW tool. Friction welding or FRW is also a solid-state welding process whereby heat is generated through friction between a moving tool and the component being worked on. A so-called lateral force "upsets" the materials being joined in such a way as they are fused. No melt occurs during the process, friction welding is therefore not really a welding process in the sense of electrode or gas welding. It is a technique for forging metals together. Friction welding is commonly used with special metals in the aviation and the automotive industries.
What are the main causes of welding accidents?
The main causes of accidents using welding equipment is lack of care during safety procedures. It is important when dealing with dangerous equipment to also follow the correct safety steps.
What are welding sparks called?

What is meant by oxidation during welding?
When the molten metal of the weld pool reacts with the oxygen in the air. Typically, in arc welding a shielding gas is used. Usually argon as it does not react because it's a halogen. If welding iron or steel, oxidation causes the build up of iron oxide which is rust.
When distortion occurs?
Distortion or deformation can occur during welding as a result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction of the weld and base metal during the heating and cooling cycle.Stresses form in the weld as a result of the changes in volume, particularly if the weld is restrained by the fixed components or other materials surrounding it. If the restraints are partly removed, these stresses can cause the base material to distort and may even result in tears or fractures. Of course, distortion can be very costly to correct, so prevention is important. .here are various types of distortion and dimensional change including longitudinal; transverse; angular; twisting and bowing. Two or more types of distortion may occur at the same time
How can you avoid electricity during welding?
By using insulating gloves and using gas welding instead of electric arc welding.
What are the less common causes of conjunctivitis?
Other less common causes of conjunctivitis include exposure to sun lamps or the electrical arcs used during welding, and problems with inadequate drainage of the tear ducts.
What is Attenuation distortion in networking?
Attenuation distortion is the distortion of an analog signal that occurs during transmission when the transmission medium does not have a flat frequency response across the bandwidth of the medium.
What are the treatments of fume inhalation during welding?
If the fumes are from welding anything galvanized, simply drink milk.
Electrode that is used up during welding is said to be?
If you are referring to the small unusable piece of welding rod that is left after welding, most call it a electrode stub.
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 causes you to burn a hole in the metal during arc welding?
Either too much amperage, travel speed too slow, or electrode too large for the metal thickness.
What are that 2 noble gases used to protect during welding?
Helium and argon are used as inert gases in welding.
