The electrode holder used for shielded metal-arc welding may not be used carbon arc welding?

Any electrode holder that will accommodate the size of rod can be used. Twin Carbon Arc Welding requires a specific holder. Air Carbon Arc Gouging requires a special holder that also supplies a stream of air.


Where can a person buy carbons for a vintage twin-carbon arc torch?

Any welding supply carries or can order for you, air arc carbon rods. They are the same that is used for air carbon arc gouging. Carbons are produced in two shapes, flat and round and various sizes. You would want the round ones.


What are the two polarities used with direct current welding?

reverse polarity and straight polarity The answer is right but a bit of furthur explanation is required. Polarity can be changed in DC output welding sets. The heat of the welding arc is concentrated on the positive terminal. So when thick plates are welded as more concentration of heat is required on the job the job is kept +ve ie. straight polarity is used. For thin plates concentration of heat is on the filler rod ,so reverse polarity is used.


What rule is used to find out polarity of a current carrying solenoid?

right hand rule is used to find out the polarity of current


What is gouging in welding process?

Gouging is a process where an arc is established between a carbon rod and the metal to be gouged and the metal is melted. A steady flow of air is blown into that molten pool removing the molten metal. Increasing the amperage or slowing down the travel speed allows a deeper gouge. Speeding up the travel speed or decreasing the amperage removes less metal. Copper coated carbon rods are used and are available in different diameters and shapes.


What instrument is used for polarity?

a ruler


Does price gouging create a deadweight loss?

Yes, price gouging creates a deadweight loss.


What are the application of straight polarity arc welding?

AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) is used to describe the polarity of the electric current that the welder generates and in what direction it travels. If you use the wrong polarity for a certain welding rod, your weld strength will not be very good. The general terms associated with polarity are reverse polarity and straight polarity. These are common to the welding trade. Another way to describe the two terms are electrode positive and electrode negative. Electrode positive is the same as reverse polarity. Electrode negative is the same as straight polarity. Hence the + and the - written on your welder where the cables connect to it. Any type of welding rod you buy will be labeled as to what polarity should be used for welding with it. Using the correct polarity will ensure the proper penetration and the over all look of the final bead. If you use the wrong polarity you can tell by the signs. There will be an excessive amount of spatter, you will have bad penetration, and you will have less control of your arc. Some welding machines have a switch to adjust the polarity. If your welder doesn't have one you will need to switch the welding cables around where they plug into the machine. If you want reverse polarity, you need to make sure the electrode holder is plugged into the + terminal. The easiest way to tell if you are using the wrong polarity is by the sound and the feel of the weld you are laying down. If you don't have much experience with stick welding you will have a little more trouble determining the difference. I have seen guys weld all day long with the wrong polarity. Then I would grab their welder to use for couple of minutes and I could tell right away. It all comes down to experience.


How do you select polarity doing E6013?

You can weld with E6013 using any polarity. Use DC - or AC for thin sheet metal. Use AC if you have arc blow problems. DC - has the lowest penetration DC + has the most penetration AC splits the difference


What polarity is used for mild steel GTAW?

The only way to tig is to have your ground clamp hooked to the positive side of the welding machine. The negative lead will go to the tig torch. If it is reversed you will find out very quickly when you strike an arc. Most metals will be welded using this Polarity (straight). Most Aluminum TIG welding is performed using A C current.


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.
