Depends on the type of material to be welded, the size of the flame, and in my situation slowly deteriorating eyesight. Basically shade 4 or 5 will be adequate. As dark as 6 on aluminum. You will be able to tell if you aren't using a dark enough shade as you can get a "flash" ( Like a sunburn on the eyes). Start with a #5 and go from there.
What else can I help you with?
What is the gas used in welding?
The most common gas used in welding is a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide, known as shielding gas. This gas helps protect the weld pool from contaminants in the air and stabilizes the arc during the welding process.
Can carbon monoxide be used in welding instead of Argon?
Carbon Dioxide iswidely used for MIG welding but I never heard of carbon monoxide and it is definitely not used in the industry as shielding gas. The purpose of the shielding gas is not just shielding the weld pool but offer arc stability with an adequate ionization potential. The heat and electrical conducctivity of the gas at the arc temperature are a huge factor as well.
What natural gasses used for welding?
Some common natural gases used for welding include acetylene, propane, and natural gas (methane). Each gas has specific applications and properties that make them suitable for different welding processes. It is important to use the appropriate gas for the specific welding task to ensure optimal results and safety.
Which gases are used for welding?
Oxy-Gasoline is an effective fuel and is very good when traditional gas bottles are not available. Hydrogen is a good fuel when welding aluminium but is not used when welding steel because it damages the steel. Propane, butane and butane/propane mixes are also used.
What is the gas for welding?
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.
What is the difference between gas welding goggles and arc welding goggles?
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).
What are the different welding glass shade numbers used for?
Welding glass shade numbers are used to indicate the level of protection they provide against the brightness and intensity of welding arcs. Lower shade numbers are suitable for lower intensity welding processes, while higher shade numbers are needed for more intense welding operations to protect the eyes from harmful UV and infrared radiation.
How do you determine what shade of filter plate is worn for arc welding?
the welding amperage being used
Do you need a darker or lighter welding helmet for arc welding?
A darker helmet shade, compared to gas welding. A shade of 10 for 70 amps, it works up from there, or you could buy a auto-darkening hood which you can see out of, but when you strick the rod on the metal it darkens to the right shade for you to still see out of.
The shade of the filter plate used in a welding shield depends on what?
The Type of welding you are doing, the brightness of the arc.
Which gas is use in gas welding?
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
What type of welding is used in welding LPG gas cylinders?

How is magnesium welded with out it being ignited?
Some methods are used: - electron beam welding - laser beam welding - gas wolfram arc welding - gas metal arc welding - resistence welding - brazing
How hot does MAPP gas get when used for welding or soldering?
MAPP gas can reach temperatures of around 3,720 degrees Fahrenheit when used for welding or soldering.
Is map gas hotter than propane when used for welding or soldering?
Yes, map gas is hotter than propane when used for welding or soldering.
