What else can I help you with?
When laying out a 2 on 12 stitch weld from the end of the weld to the start of the next weld is it 12 inches?
11"
What is the ratio between the leg length and the throat thickness on a mitre filet weld with equal leg lengths?
it depends on the fillet welds dimentions and fit up requirements
Why is aluminum difficult to weld?
Aluminum is a bit more difficult to weld than steel , because of it's lower melting point. Also Aluminum takes more heat , because of it's property of absorbing and releasing the heat quicker. With the proper electrode , or rod , and amps to volt settings, along with a bit of practise , it can be quite simple . One usually has to have a faster travel speed with the filler rod or electrode.
What are five things the welding symbol will tell the welder about the weld that is to be made?
The welding symbol provides essential information about the weld, including the type of weld (e.g., fillet, groove), the size of the weld, the length of the weld, the welding process to be used, and any specific requirements for the weld, such as the finish or pre-weld treatments. It may also indicate the position of the weld and any additional details regarding the joint preparation. This standardized communication ensures consistency and clarity in welding operations.
What is the difference between Tig weld vs plasma weld?
When we are using the tig welder we getting welding defects on our blanks, but when using the plasma weld no defects are found
What is the difference between the SMAW and GTAW?
The main difference between these two types of welding is that GTAW uses gases to create the weld whilst SMAW uses an an electrical current. Both are very popular welding processes.
What is meant by the term welding and draw various welding symbols?
Welding is the process of joining two metals, usually involving a heat source. Welding symbols are the symbols used on part prints or assembly drawings to show size and type of weld, the specific welding process, and many other variables pertaining to that particular weld. A welding symbol looks like an arrow pointing to the location of the weld, with a horizontal line 'carrying' other symbols and numbers that describe how to make that weld. A picture of a welding symbol can be found when an image search is done.
What is the difference between welding engineering and welding technology?
Welding technology is the study and application of the many processes of joining various metals. Welding Engineering is a far deeper study and application into the individual characteristics of each metal. A welding engineer will decide what metals are used in a project and what process to weld those metals. Weld techs will usually just receive blue prints and weld as instructed. Welding technology is usually a 2 year degree, and Welding Engineering is a 4+year degree.
Is plug weld's depth of filling to the right or left of the welding symbol?
When the depth of filling is less than the thickness (less than complete), it is specified inside the plug weld symbol!!!
What is the difference between shielded and unshielded welding?
Shielded welding uses a shielding gas to protect the weld pool from contamination and oxidation, while unshielded welding does not use such gas and is typically done in a protected atmosphere like underwater or in a vacuum. Shielded welding produces cleaner and stronger welds due to the protection from atmospheric elements.
What is the difference between welding and fusing?
Welding is the fusing of to metals, but the term "fusing" in a welding shop is the melting together of to materials without using filler rod. Usually done with a TIG Machine. The process results in a small weld, that does not need to be ground flush, because it already is. The only problem is that a "fused" weld isn't as strong.
What does FP on a weld symbol mean?
FP on a weld symbol stands for "Fillet weld all around." This means that a fillet weld is required to be made on all sides of the joint where the symbol is placed. The weld size, length, and other specifications should be indicated next to or below the FP symbol on the welding symbol to provide further guidance to the welder. It is important to follow the welding symbol precisely to ensure the weld meets the required specifications and standards.
What is the purpose of a weld symbol?
A weld symbol serves as a standardized communication tool in engineering and fabrication drawings, conveying specific instructions for welding operations. It indicates the type of weld, its size, length, and other relevant details, ensuring that fabricators and welders understand the requirements. This symbol helps maintain consistency and accuracy in the welding process, facilitating proper joint preparation and execution for structural integrity.
What is welding fault of lack of fusion?
It's when the different metals parts haven't melted together properly
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.
