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.

Does arc welding create ozone?

Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.

Almost all welding today is done with electricity (Arc Welding) even on cast iron. SMAW, GTAW, GMAW etc. --AW means Arc Welding.


Can you use LPG for ARC welding?

ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.


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 is plasma welding?

Plasma welding is another name for arc welding. It is a process in which electricity super heats air to form a plasma arc. This arc transmits an electrical current to a metal surface and creates heat to melt the metal together thus creating a weld joint.
