When arc welding steel to be galvanized later what can be used to prevent the build up of slag?
To prevent the buildup of slag when arc welding steel that will be galvanized later, a low-slag welding process such as using a suitable filler metal or a flux-cored wire can be employed. Additionally, maintaining proper welding technique, including the correct angle and travel speed, can help minimize slag formation. Regularly cleaning the weld area and using anti-spatter spray can also assist in reducing slag buildup.

What is Carbon arc welding?
Carbon arc is an old welding method which uses relatively low voltage, high amperage electricity to heat metal when an arc is established between a carbon electrode and the work (single-carbon arc) or between two such electrodes (twin-carbon arc). The single-carbon and twin-carbon processes have gone out of fashion, at least in the United States, other processes having replaced them. Few welders today have experience with carbon arc's use in welding, brazing, or heating, although the process retains its utility for those who acquire the particular skills involved. Carbon arc welding is often confused with the widely-used arc-air gouging process, which is used for metal removal rather than metal joining. Arc-air employs a single carbon in a special handpiece that is supplied with electrical power and compressed air, and is used for removing flawed welds, gouging out cracks for welding, beveling the edges of plates, and other spot-removal problems. An arc is struck between the carbon and the metal to be removed; when the metal reaches a liquid state, the operator triggers a jet of compressed air which blows out the liquid metal. It should be noted that this action differs in principle from gouging, beveling, and cutting of steel as done by oxygen/acetylene and oxygen/propane torches. In that process, the steel is heated with a flame, but not to the liquid state; instead an oxygen jet is triggered which makes an exothermic reaction with free ferrite in the steel, liquifying it and blowing it out of the base metal. Single-carbon arc welding, brazing, and heating utilizes a direct-current (DC) power source, usually connected with the electrode negative ("straight polarity"). The process was thought to have particular merit in welding galvanized sheetmetal, having a relatively concentrated heat which minimized distortion of the metal. The single-carbon handpiece was designed to withstand considerably higher electrode temperatures than do common arc welding handpieces designed for coated "stick" welding electrodes, and some industrial versions were water-cooled. A significant problem with single-carbon welding was the likelihood of the weld puddle being contaminated by bits of carbon from the electrode. Carbon contamination is much less likely with twin-carbon arc. Twin-carbon arc handpieces are unlike any other welding handpieces (often loosely referred to as "torches"). These have two arms which affix the twin electrodes, or carbons, at a range of angles to each other, and which are manipulated by the operator to vary the distance between the tips of the electrodes, or "gap," this usually being done while the work is in progress. Welding electricity usually and preferably is from an alternating-current (AC) power source. Holding the handpiece, the operator manipulates the moving arms to touch the electrode tips together momentarily to initiate current flow, then moves them apart to achieve the desired gap. The resultant electric arc across the gap serves as a heat source to bring the workpiece to a temperature at which welding or brazing filler rod can be added. The electrodes for either carbon arc process were made of baked carbon or pure graphite in a tubular copper jacket. The electrodes, often called "carbons," are not intended to be consumed as a part of the process, although they gradually erode and must be replaced. Welding carbons were commonly 6" long and ranged in diameter from 3/16" to 1/2". The arc temperature was in the area of 5000C/9000F degrees, emitting an extremely bright light which in earlier times found use in street and stage lighting, in searchlights and lighthouses, and a little later in photo-engraving and movie theater projection equipment. The brightness of this arc calls for the protection of a welding helmet with a minimum darkness rating of #12, with #14 recommended, and protective clothing is essential to protect the skin from the intense ultra-violet radiation of the arc. Carbon electrodes for arc-air gouging are readily available, and those for old theater projectors are still manufactured, but the current availability of new welding carbons is unclear. Both the single and twin-carbon arc processes were first patented in Europe and the United States at the end of the 19th century, and achieved widespread use in the first three decades of the 20th century. Advances in the shielded metal arc welding process (abbreviated SMAW and often referred to as "stick" welding) during the second world war, particularly to the coating materials on the consumable electrodes, made it a superior process for nearly every application. SMAW quickly became popularly synonymous with arc welding and remained so for many years, and completely replaced carbon arc. Today, in the United States, the UK, And Australia, carbon arc joining as an industrial process exists only in a very few highly specialized and automated applications. The special handpieces for carbon arc welding appear to have gone out of production, at least in the United States. The few current users of such equipment tend to employ the carbon arc most often for heating metal for bending and forming, sometimes for brazing, and often for heating purposes such as thawing frozen water pipes. It could also be used for melting lead and babbit, and even the hard-surfacing of digging and earthmoving equipment, using a special hardfacing paste. The twin-carbon arc torch in particular was often offered as an accessory with small AC transformer welders sold to amateur welders and farmers, serving some of the same purposes as an oxy-acetylene gas welding outfit which would have cost these occasional users hundreds of dollars more. --Philip H. Smith, Jr.
Which activity is not included in the first pass of two pass assemblers?
In the first pass of a two-pass assembler, it will "prepare" for the second pass, ie. it'll build the symbol table which is later used in the second pass to generate code.
Why is a systems development process needed?
The system development process is needed to ensure the end success and efficiency of the software or other system. Using the SDLC method helps prevent mistakes and bugs that can cause problems later.

Why do people who work in noisy places wear ear protection?
Noisy workplaces can cause cumulative hearing damage. Over time, this can cause significant hearing loss as people age. This hearing loss can be very disruptive and debilitating. Hearing protection can help prevent some of the later hearing loss.
How do you treat eyes burns from welding?
I know all the ways to prevent flashburn but how can i help "cure" it. I know flashburn isnt cureable but how can i help lessen the pain. Ive heard many rumors with the potatoes but what really works?AnswerIf it is like other burns, if you have pain, it is still burning. Get to an ophtamologist sooner than later.

What metals were used for washboards?
Initially, they were actually made of wood (even the ridges). Later on, they made the 'scrubbing' portion of the washboard with zinc. This was the main metal used up until the tail end of the 20th century. At that point, galvanized steel was the metal of choice. There are some washboards made with brass as the ridges, but they're not quite as common as the galvanized steel.
General Welding School?
Welding is a skill that will open doors for many in the employment world. Attending a general welding school will help get a foot in the door of a successful career. There are trade and vocational schools that will offer welding programs. The school should be certified and the graduate will receive a certificate when the courses have been completed properly. Since there are several different types of welding, the welding school should be able to offer courses in all of the types. The future welder may need to learn more than one type to get the job that is desired. Some welders will do more than one type of welding at a particular job. Electric arc welding is the basic welding process. Even though technology has advanced greatly, this type of welding has never been replaced as the first process in structural welding. The electric arc welding is suited for exterior welding work. Each student will be certified in electric arc welding. Any job that requires interior welding will use a semi-automatic MIG welding process. This type of welding is always used in any manufacturing industries especially when mass production is being done. By taking the electric arc welding and the MIG welding, the student will be qualified to be employed as an entry-level welder in the manufacturing world. Another type of welding that may be offered at the school is heli-arc TIG welding. The TIG welding requires a higher skill level. Precision is the key in the TIG process, and welders who are certified to do this method will earn the highest wages. To be employed as a TIG welder, there needs to be a high skill level on stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum and other light materials. Blueprint reading is a large part of this course since TIG welding requires nothing but precise accuracy. The oldest welding method and one that is still being taught is the oxy-acetylene gas welding process. This process has been used at home as well as on the job. Since this process does both cutting and also brazing of mild steels, it is the most versatile. Many welders will choose to attend school to learn the basic welding, and then go back for the more advanced types later on.
