2 basic types, Gas shielding, and flux shielding. Gas shielding comes from compressed tanks of inert gas such as argon. these gases are pumped through the welding hose and over the weld pool. The flux type protects the weld by covering it in a layer of slag that prevent it from being contaminated by the surrounding air.

What are the three types of machines used in manual metal arc welding?

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.

What is a general formula for welding output current and voltage relationship for MMA welding machines?

V= 0.05 i + 10 for mmaw welding v= 0.05 i + 20 for tig welding


Is pneumatic welding machine possible?

Yes, pneumatic welding machines are possible and are used in specific applications where traditional welding methods may not be suitable. These machines utilize compressed air to drive welding processes, typically in industries that require lightweight and portable equipment. Pneumatic welding is often employed for tasks like spot welding or in environments where electrical hazards are a concern. However, the technology may have limitations compared to conventional welding methods in terms of depth and material thickness.


What are the 5 different types of welding?

There are far more than 5 types or processes of welding. Currently the American Welding Society (AWS) states that there are more than 80 different welding and joining processes. However, some of the common welding processes include shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and oxyfuel gas welding (OFW).

What are two types of ac arc welding machines?

Two common types of AC arc welding machines are the transformer-based machines and inverter-based machines. Transformer-based machines use a transformer to step down the voltage and provide a stable arc, making them suitable for various welding applications. Inverter-based machines, on the other hand, use advanced electronics to convert the input power into a high-frequency output, allowing for greater efficiency, portability, and control over the welding process. Both types are widely used in different welding scenarios based on their performance and application needs.

What welding processes use constant current arc welding machines?

Constant current arc welding machines are primarily used in processes such as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW or TIG), and some variations of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). These machines maintain a consistent current level to ensure stable arcs, which is especially important for manual and precise welding applications. SMAW and GTAW benefit from this characteristic, as they allow for better control over the weld pool and electrode.
