Do all of the noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers?

No, not all noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers. The noble gas helium (He) has only two electron shielding layers, while the remaining noble gases (Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon) have three or more electron shielding layers.


Is O2 also added to shielding gas in tungsten arc welding process?

No, that would defeat the purpose. Shielding gases must be inert (e.g. argon, helium).


What prevents contamination of the weld puddle shielding gases are used to displace from the weld zone?

Dross


Why CO2 can not be used as shielding gas in GTAW?

CO2 is an oxygen compound or a non-inert gas,the purpose of a shielding gas is to shield the weld and the electrode from oxygen. argon, nitrogen and helium are the most common gases used for GTAW


Is it true that all noble gases have at least three shielding layers?

No. Not sure what you mean by a shielding layer- I would take this as the filled electron shells below the "outer", highest energy layer-- He has none, Neon has one , Argon has two.


How may bremsstrahlung production be minimized?

by using shielding material with low Z..


What are the common gases used in GMAW Process?

Carbon dioxide, Argon, Helium, but not Nitrogen, can be used as 'shielding' gas in Gas Metal Arc Welding.


The cause of air pollution?

There are many gases. Major reason is industrial gases.


What is an example of active gas?

These inert gases are used in gas tungsten arc welding, and also in gas metal arc welding for the welding of non-ferrous metals. Semi-inert shielding gases, or activeshield gases, include carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. These active gases are used with GMAW on ferrous metals.


The noble gases are almost completely nonreactive for this reason they are sometimes called?

Inert Gases
