What welding rod do you use for welding boiler plate?

Totally depends on what the boiler plate is made up of. Normally this data is supplied to the welder operator.


What type of filler material is used for mild steel?

ER70S-6 is a very common filler metal when welding with Gas Metal Arc Welding or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding on a low carbon steel (mild steel). This can be purchased as a spool or in rod form.


What are the ten difference between TIG and MIG welding processes?

ElectrodeTIG welding uses a tungsten electrode that is not consumed during the welding process. MIG welding uses a metal electrode that doubles as filler material for the weld and is consumed during welding.Shielding GasTIG welding primarily uses argon as a shielding gas, with helium occasionally used. Argon is also the primary shielding gas used in MIG welding, but argon mixtures and carbon dioxide are often used for different applications.Filler MaterialTIG welding requires a separate filler material in rod or wire format because the electrode is not consumed. MIG welding delivers the filler material via the electrode.Work Piece MaterialsTIG welding can be applied to just about any metal, from steel to aluminum and exotic alloys. MIG welding was developed for nonferrous metals, but can be applied to steel.DifficultyTIG welding is considered to be more difficult than MIG welding because tighter tolerances have to be maintained between the electrode, the filler rod and the work piece.

How do you weld cast iron with an oxy acetylene torch with a cast iron rod?

I am not aware of a cast iron rod for oxy acetylene welding, I am for arc welding, For cast, I use a brazing rod, a brass or copper alloy, but what do I know. If there is a cast rod available, it would be the same process, get the cast you are welding hot almost to the point of melting, bring in the rod, heat it at the same place and bring both to a melting point. Work from that point along the crack or joint you are welding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You need not use brazing rod for case iron welding. You get arc welding electrodes for cast iron. Use appropriate grade of rod for your case iron under welding.
