That completely depends on the circumstance- size of part, whether it is quenched, allowed to cool in air, or kept at elevated temperature deliberately (post-heat), what metal... There are many, many variables.

Enough for it to melt, (around 2500 F) However any object will heat indefinately until it dissapates heat faster than it can gain it. So a welding rod can techincally heat more in a warm environment

The temperature produced in a welding arc varies but is commonly in the range of 3,000 to 8,000 °C. Most of the heat is transmitted into the metal being welded.

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.


What is full form of ARC in arc welding?

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.

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 are welding electrodes used for?

Welding Electrorodes or Welding Rods are used in arc welding. Arc welding is a special type of welding which uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between the base material (e.g. steel) and the electrode. The Welding Ectrorodes can be used for all weldable aluminum and mild steel.


What is SMAW?

Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".


Difference between ERW and SAW welding?

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.
