Silicon is added to the tig rods in production. Use a gas weld rod which does not have the silicon and the weld will be full of porosity.

Which electrode is used to weld stainless steel to carbon steel?
It depends on the type of stainless steel. Stainless steels come in various compositions and are identified by numbers and letters. Electrodes should be chosen that match these. For example when welding 316 stainless use type 316 electrodes. In a lot of situations you can safely use the next higher number. 304 stainless can be welded with 308 electrodes, 308 stainless with 310 electrodes. 309 electrodes are generally used to weld stainless to carbon steel.
How do you turn a 1964 Lincoln welding machine into a big generator?
It's an engine driven generator like a Ranger, correct? They already come set up to be used as either welding machine or generator when they come from the factory.
What are the difference between stainless steel and ordinary steel?
Some stainless steel is non magnetic, like the 300 series which contains a good bit of nickel which makes this series non-magnetic, but the 400 series does not have nickel and are thus magnetic, so you cannot differentiate between this series of stainless and regular carbon steel using a magnet. If the sample in question rusts easily, then it's probably regular carbon steel, though there are some high carbon steels like D2 tool steel for example, which have a high enough percentage of chromium (D2 has 11% to 13% generally) which make them 'almost' stainless and thus they don't rust as easily as a high carbon steel like O1, which does not have enough chromium (.50%) too inhibit oxidation and thus it rusts quite easily. The only other means to tell whether you have stainless steel or regular carbon steel would be by performing a spark test which could tell you whether you have stainless or regular carbon steel or sending a sample out for metallurgical analysis.
How does steel come out of the ground?
Steel does not come out of the ground. It is the Iron Ore which is a Major Raw Material in Steel Preparation Process that is mined out of the earth. The mining of iron ore from the earth is a process in itself.
Your welding helmet is too dark to see the work when welding?
The helmet holds the lens. Lenses come in different shades (darkness). Use the correct shade. Most welding applications call for a shade #10. TIG weldors usually use a shade #9. Plasma applications can call for a shade #11.

What type of metal is a pinball made of?
Pinballs basically come in two different materials; carbon-steel and chrome-steel. Carbon steel has less ability to retain magnetism. Chrome-steel can hold magnetism very easily (and quickly). Generally speaking, chrome-steel balls shine better than carbon-steel balls.
How does the carbon content influence the hardness of carbon steel?
Increasing the carbon content in steel alloys causes the material to become harder. This is because the carbon sits in the interstitial sites of the lattice structure and hinders the movement of dislocation lines. This also increases the strength of the material but it decreases the ductility.
What is the basic difference between CS and IT?
*Carbon steel, also called plain carbon steel or "Mild Steel", is steel where the main alloying constituent is carbon. The AISI defines carbon steel as: "Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, columbium, molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40 percent; or when the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, copper 0.60. If it crosses limit as said, it will come under alloy steel. ASTM A 106 gr B is a carbon steel pipe and seamless Pipe for High Temperature Service. So, it will be a mild steel comes under carbon steel category.
Where does steal come from?
Steel is primarily made from iron ore, which is mined from the earth. The iron ore is then heated in a blast furnace along with other elements like carbon to create steel. The process involves melting the iron and carbon together to form a strong, durable material known as steel.
Where does silica sand come from?
Is silica from silicon sand? I am allergic to silocon.
Where does the carbon that is used in blast furnace come from?
Coal, distilled to drive off itscontents and leave the carbon, plus a little bit of non-volatile impurities, principally silica; in a form called Coke. (No relation to the colloquialcontraction of Coca-Cola! :-) )
What are welding sparks called?
The 'welding sparks' that come off during welding are metal particles from the filler metal, electrode, or base metal that are lost during welding. The standard term is spatter.
What is a list of elements people come across in everyday life?
Water Co2 carbon chemicals metal steel sugar and more
What health hazards can come from mica and silica?
The greatest hazard from crystalline silica (which is found in mica, among other materials) is a disease known as silicosis, caused by inhaling particles of silica.
Where did flash welding come from?
writing a paper and was wanting info
Where does raw material for glass come from?
the quartz silica comes from the sand
