Is arc welding stronger than mig welding?

Using the correct procedures and filler material they can both have the same strength. P.S. both are considered "arc welding"


What is Arc length in welding?

Arc length is the distance from the tip of the electrode to the workpiece.


What is arc blow?

Most stick welding SMAW is done with Direct Current DC. As this current passes thru the base metal it can set up a circular current on either side of the weld area creating a magnetic effect. The arc is affected by this and whips back and forth drawn by this magnetic field. Metal is blown out of the arc and splatters onto the sides of the weld and the arc is hard to control. This arc blow can be reduced by passing a separate magnetic field thru the metal nullifying the effect, or by welding in the opposite direction, or by using Alternating Current AC


Why is the term GMAW preferable to mig for gas metal arc welding?

MIG is a non-standard term for gas metal arc welding and flux cored arc welding, according to the American Welding Society (AWS). MIG stands for metal inert gas. Inert gas being a non-reactive gas (a noble gas on the periodic table). Most GMAW procedures do not use a mixture of 100% non-reactive gas. A popular gas mixture in the United states contains 90% Argon and 10 % CO2, or 75% Argon and 25% CO2. Argon is a non-reactive gas, while CO2 is a reactive gas. The mixture is not inert, therefore, using MIG is an inaccurate way to represent the actual process being used. A mixture containing 100% of an inert gas are used when necessary. However, the preferred term is still GMAW or FCAW.

How do we can calculate weld deposition rate for submerged arc welding?

Check wire feed rate of saw wire (metre/min.)with this we can check deposition per minute. by multipling this with 60 , we can get deposition per hr.

What is full form of ARC in arc welding?

The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.


What is the full form of arc welding?

If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.


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.


How do you control deposition rate in mig welding?

Deposition rate in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is controlled through different process variables. These variables include wire feed speed (WFS) and travel speed. By increasing WFS, more filler material will be deposited per inch of weld while other variables remain the same. By decreasing travel speed, more filler material will be deposited per inch of weld, while other variables remain the same. Combining the two (changing both variables as described) will increasing the deposition rate even more.


Does arc welding create ozone?

Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.

What does the flow-meter do in gas metal arc welding?

The flow meter in gas metal arc welding measures and controls the flow rate of shielding gas that is directed to the welding arc. This helps to ensure a consistent and appropriate amount of shielding gas is provided to protect the weld from atmospheric contamination and achieve optimal weld quality.

Can you use LPG for ARC welding?

ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.
