The arc temperature in welding is important because it determines the heat intensity needed to melt and fuse the metal being welded. Controlling the arc temperature is crucial for achieving a strong and durable weld. If the temperature is too low, the weld may be weak and incomplete. If the temperature is too high, it can lead to defects and damage the metal. Therefore, maintaining the right arc temperature is essential for successful welding.
Manual Metal Arc Welding
The temperature of metal after welding can vary depending on the type of metal and welding process used. In general, the metal can reach temperatures over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit during welding. It is important to allow the metal to cool down slowly after welding to prevent it from warping or cracking.
The recommended welding amperage for joining two pieces of metal together depends on the thickness and type of metal being welded. It is important to consult the welding machine's manual or a welding professional for specific recommendations.
Acetylene is commonly used in welding with oxygen to create a high-temperature flame for cutting and welding metal.
I am not sure your question is clear enough but here I go... Stick Arc Welding (AC or DC), MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tunsten Inter Gas). All three of these are the basic metal welding machines.
Everybody used to call it "stick welding". MMAW Manual Metal Arc Welding is the correct nomenclature. The "sticks" are electrodes held in an electrode holder connected to a power supply. Establish an arc between the end of the electrode and the metal and move across the joint. As you weld the electrode is consumed. Discard the "stub", insert a new electrode and continue.

The sparks generated during welding are called welding sparks. They are tiny fragments of molten metal that separate from the welding material or workpiece due to the intense heat generated during the welding process.
Depends on the metal, but for steel it is hot enough to melt the steel- and steel melts at 2600-2800 degrees F.
