Yes, but it will take years for the base metal to get hot enough for any fusion welding.

What is girth weld?
circumfrencial weld is sometimes referred to as Girth weld. its just another term.
The two types of welds are?
TIG uses tungsten in a gun and electricity to melt the material, the user must manually add filler rod. Needs shielding gas Mig uses a gun, but the filler rod flows out of the gun. Electricity flows from tip of wire into material. needs shielding gas except with flux-cored wire. SMAW uses pre fluxed electrodes. electricity flows trough electrode holder, into material when material is scraped by electrode. No shielding gas. Oxy-fuel. Flame welding. Oxygen and a fuel (acetylene, propane, mapp, etc.) are mixed in a torch, ignited, and used to melt material. filler wire is manually added. There are more indepth explanations, and advanced machines, but that is the basics.
What gas is used to weld aluminum?
Most commonly used is argon, but Helium can be used as well.
Can you weld steel to steel?
Yes, you can weld steel to steel. You can use steel welding rod.
What is a weld symbol?
A weld symbol is the shape drawn on a Print to tell the welder: how to prepare a welding joint, what process can be used to weld (mig, tig, arc, etc) what filler rod to use, how wide and long the weld should be, how to deal with the weld after your done (grind flush, brush clean, or nothing) and a million other things.... Its a tool that design engineers use to communicate what the weld needs to be to meet their design specifications.
How hot does propylene burn?
Propylene or MAPP gas burns at approxomatly 5300 degree's. While the new max power propylene burns at about 3600 degree's
Why do they use argon gas to tig weld?
Argon gas is an inert gas and it shields the weld from any contamination from the out side air. It shields the weld and makes it cleaner and stronger.
What is girth weld?
circumfrencial weld is sometimes referred to as Girth weld. its just another term.
First gas weld equipment was invented in?
1837.
What gas is used in welding cylinders?
Welding cylinders contains different types of gas. Oxygen is common to all the kinds of cwelding. The other common gas used is a combustible gas like acetylene which is the fuel for the torch. The fuel gas could also be hydrogen, MPS or MAPP gas, butane, propane, or propylene. Some welding (e.g. aluminum welding) requires a shield gas which protects the surfaces near the flame and improves the quality of the weld. These can include helium, argon, carbon dioxide or nitrogen.
How do you safely weld a gas tank?
I have fixed a couple over time and what I do is fill it with water and detergent empty it out Then do it again, then Weld it.
Can you weld stainless plate to your steel gas tank?
yes
How does calcium carbonate influence weld quality?
Calcium carbonate is decomposed and the products CO/CO2 form a gas shielding for the weld.
How does MAG weld mean?
metal active gas, doing gas metal arc welding with a gas that isn't inert
Will argon gas help to weld mild steel?
It can be used for that purpose.
Can you weld a car without removing the gas tank?
Yes, just do not weld on the fuel tank and unhook the battery to prevent electrical failures.
What is propylene glycol in?
Propylene glycol used to be in vehicle antifreeze.
