What is the difference between a an automotive welding engineer and just a welding engineer?

"Automotive" means that such a person is specialized in cars.


What type of welding which do not require a molten electrode?

TIG welding electrodes do not melt under most applications. Electrode means it carries electrical current. In MIG welding the wire becomes the electrode. In TIG and Gas Welding the filler material is called a rod. Stick welding uses rods called electrodes.


What is the Different between TIG arc welding and gas welding?

Gas welding basically used for weaker joints(in sheets) and arc welding for stronger one(plates). mobile welding (not in a shop)is the ideal time for arc welding . gas welding is the way to go as far as production is concerned , but requires environment with little air circulation or wind , plus gas bottle , machine , and a short lead , which makes it ideal for shop work answer Gas welding - generally use for welding of thin plates/pipes. Less heat input and less likely to burn off the edge of the plates (undercut). It is a more expensive process because of gas shielding. Arc welding - use for thicker plates usually with larger size electrodes. Higher weld production rate. Shielding by means of electrode coating. Both processes can meet the required mechanical properties usually


What is the position of 6g pipe welding?

6G means the pipe is positioned at a 45o angle.


What is downhill welding?

MY question is (WHAT IS DOWNHILL WELDING) The correct term is Down Hand Welding. Most welds in the vertical position are made from bottom to top. Down Hand means welding from the top to bottom. These welds are usually made on thin metal as the heat input is lower, thereby reducing penetration/burn thru.

Why is a welding machine not adjusted when a welder is welding?

two reasons i can think of: 1 - Probably dont need to, usually welding material of constant thickness. 2 - The transformer is mechanically adjusted on most welders, this means that that there would be a possibility for electricity jumping in the transformer, and premature failure, or fire.


When welding with DCEN the electrode is positive and the work is negative?

DCEN means Direct Current Electrode Negative. Hook the welding cable to the Positive connection (+) on the machine, the ground cable to the Negative connection (-) Electricity travels from Negative pole to Positive pole.

What is 4g welding?

4G is a welding position. The '4' means the weld is to be made in the overhead position. The 'G' means the weld is a groove weld.


What does lencten mean?

It is an Old English word, "lencten," which means the time of lengthening days, or "Springtime."


Where do you prefer arc welding?

Almost all welding today is done with electricity (Arc Welding) even on cast iron. SMAW, GTAW, GMAW etc. --AW means Arc Welding.

What is flanged?

The letters FPBW in Welding usually means Full Power Bandwidth. This paired with flange which means an arm or extension of a base. So in the welding world this is a piece that is to be welded or can be ordered.

What is the different of effective and effectively?

It's difficult to explain because they mean very similar things, but I would say: Efficient means when a certain machine or person does things to a good standard and..Effectively means this but more generally, when anything in the world does something to a good standard
