The Oxy-acetylene flame is much hotter and the preferred combination for the welder especially when welding pipe and plate metal. Somewhat of a rare welding procedure in modern times. Replaced by arc welding. Liquid Propane Gas burns cooler and is preferred by employers as it is cheaper. Not bad results on light gauge material, again takes longer to heat up. -RedSeal Welder
Yes, welding of metals typically involves heating and fusion in resistance welding, arc welding, acetylene torch welding. Metallic bonds are formed between the substrate and the weld. The composition of the weld and the substrate around the weld inevitably is different from the material being welded.
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.
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
Argon is an inert gas. this is not the correct answer Nor was it complete. Argon is used in welding to shield the heated metal from oxidation. This is called TIG welding, which stands for Through Inert Gas. Argon does not react directly with the metal.
When we are using the tig welder we getting welding defects on our blanks, but when using the plasma weld no defects are found
what is the difference between ultrasonic welding & radiographic welding
The prehaet temperature is taken before welding starts. The interpass temperature is taken between welding passes.
back hand welding is when you pull the welding rod or whatever it is that you are using and forehand is when you push it ahead
"Automotive" means that such a person is specialized in cars.
in arc welding only heat is used to weld metal. but in resistance welding pressure will also be used along with heat.
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.
There's some information on welding at http://www.WeldingFun.com .. should have the answer your looking for. Sorry for being to lazy to look it up
The main difference between these two types of welding is that GTAW uses gases to create the weld whilst SMAW uses an an electrical current. Both are very popular welding processes.
If by gas welding you mean-oxyacetylene welding. The difference is just that arc welding requires a darker shade of lens. When oxyfuel gas welding (OFW) usually a shade 5 lens is recommended. When arc welding, a minimum of shade 10 lens should be used (actually shade should be determined by amount of current used).
You can find pretty much all welding defects in Mig welding. There are some that are morelikely to appear than others but that is depending on the gas and power range that is being applied. The defects are: porosity, incomplete penetration (mostly in case of short circuit transfer) undercut, excessive concavity/convexity (incorrect amperage/voltage ratio), cracks (cold and hot) incomplete fusion (wrong torch angles), cold lap.
Shielded welding needs a gas to shield the weld from the atmoshere air. Unshielded uses a flux the burns when welding to shield the weld from the atmoshere air.
