What do mean by flux and slag?
In (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding 'stick welding': Flux is the substance added to to molten metals to bond with impurities that can be readily removed. Slag is the waste material which is removed.
In gas tungsten-arc welding a long electrode extension is highly desirable true or false?
False, this will cause contamination of the tungsten electrode as there will be insufficient gas coverage.

What are Three functions of the electrode covering in manual metal arc mma welding?
3 FEATURES OF FLUX CORED ELECTRODES Flux cored electrodes combine the advantages of several of the welding processes we have discussed earlier. As with coated electrodes, the flux improves the weld metal chemi- cal composition and mechanical properties. As in gas metal arc welding and submerged arc welding, productivity is increased because the electrode is continuous. 7.3.0.1 Flux cored electrodes may be used for welding carbon steels, low alloy high strength steels, and the high strength quenched and tempered steels. They are also used for welding stainless steels and abrasion resistant steels. These will be covered in subse- quent lessons. 7.3.1 Functions of the Flux Ingredients - As with coated ingredients, each manufac- turer has his own formulas for the flux ingredients. The composition of the flux core can be varied to provide electrodes for specific applications. 7.3.1.1 The basic functions of the flux ingredients are: a) Deoxidizers and Denitrifiers - Since nitrogen and oxygen can cause porosity or brittleness, deoxidizers such as manganese and silicon are added. In the case of self-shielded electrodes, denitrifiers such as aluminum are added. Both help to purify the weld metal. b) Slag Formers - Slag formers such as oxides of calcium, potassium, silicon or so- dium are added to protect the molten weld puddle from the atmosphere. The slag aids in improving the weld bead shape and "fast freezing" slags help hold the weld puddle for out-of-position welding. The slag also retards the cooling rate, especially important when welding the low alloy steels. c) Arc Stabilizers - Elements, such as potassium and sodium, help produce a smooth arc and reduce spatter. d) Alloying Elements - Alloying elements, such as molybdenum, chromium, carbon, manganese, nickel, and vanadium, are used to increase strength, ductility, hardness and toughness. e) Gasifiers - Minerals, such as fluorspar and limestone, are usually used to form a shielding gas in the self-shielded type wires.
What is SMAW?
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".
Name the welding processes covered in this chapter which may use a shielding gas to shield the weld area?

what is GTAW?
GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING
What is a tungsten in tig welding?
Tungsten is a metal used as the electrode in Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. It has a high melting point and is non-consumable, so it does not melt during the welding process. Tungsten helps create a stable arc and allows for precise control in TIG welding.

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 the two american welding society abbreviations for the arc welding processes that melt a tubular electrode with alloys deoxidizers and slag formers in their cores?
The American Welding Society abbreviations for the arc welding processes that melt a tubular electrode with alloys deoxidizers and slag formers in their cores are FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) and metal-cored arc welding (MC).
What is the saw welding?
saw stands for suberged arc welding, where the weld is submerged underneath the flux
Definition of argon welding?
Argon welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), is a welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create a welding arc. Argon gas is typically used as the shielding gas to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. This process is commonly used for welding non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and thin materials.
What type of submerged arc welding Flux is susceptible to moisture?
Agglomerated
Is it true that the main limitation of flux cored arc welding is that ferrous metals can be welded?
No, the main limitation of flux-cored arc welding is not restricted to ferrous metals. While it is commonly used for welding ferrous metals, it can also be used for welding some non-ferrous metals with the correct types of flux-cored wire. The main limitations typically involve issues like weld quality, porosity, and slag removal.
An E71T-1 electrode designation is working for which welding process?

Is inconel weldable?
INCONEL alloy 600 is readily joined by conventional welding processes. Welding materials for joining alloy 600 are INCONEL Welding Electrode 182 for shielded metal-arc welding*, INCONEL Filler Metal 82 for gas tungsten-arc and gas metal-arc welding, and INCONEL Filler Metal 82 and INCOFLUX 4 Submerged Arc Flux for the submerged-arc process. Welds made with INCONEL Welding Electrode 182 may have decreased ductility after extended exposure to temperatures of 1000° to 1400°F (540° to 760°).
