Welders

On most machines the wire feed control also adjusts the amperage. Faster = hotter. Slower = cooler. Some machines have range settings. LOW MED HIGH you still have to adjust the wire feed in each range for your needs.

The key targets and achievements vary based on the organization you work for. For some organizations reaching a certain level of customer service surveys is an achievement.

In the case of arc welding , moisture is superheated to steam , then further into Hydrogen and oxygen gasses, this usually produces a porous inferior weld, as the gasses are infused into the molten metal , and expand to form small voids , or pockets in the final cooled weld.

A welder can earn around 75,000 dollars in New York. A welding inspector can earn around 100,000 dollars a year.

The other welder will also fail.

It's hot. Your work is not usually in a climate controlled environment The use of a fan is limited as it will blow away the gases in a mig type weld. You are breathing allot of gases and residues that are not the best for you. There is a potential for may types of job related injuries - burns, eye related injuries from grinding and the light produced from cutting and welding.

A journeyman welder is a person who has studied , practiced , and successfully passed all of the weld tests needed to receive the highest level of achievement , in Canada this is known as a " Red Seal"

Using my rational, if a metal can be welded they probably make a wire for it. Cast Iron is the only one I would question.

That varies based on the experience, skill and certification levels of the individual welder.

Here in the state of Colorado, most MIG Welding is done in an indusrial setting and a majority of companies are non-union which means that welders are paid anywhere between $9.00-$12.00 an hour. Also, MIG Welding (also called "Monkey Welding") does not require a great amount of skill. It's so easy a monkey can do it! Thus the term, "monkey welding". I've been welding for 17 years now and the best advise I can give anyone interested in becoming a welder is to get a job as a welder thru a union otherwise you limit yourself to fabrication and manufacturer environments which give you bad pay and poor benefits for your hard days work.

In the state of Washington, the average annual pay for a welder is $32,000. This works out to be $2,666. 67 per month.

No all health care is paid for by government. Citizens there have National Health. You don't pay for individual services,but indirectly thru taxes,but no is denied necessary care.This as told to me by English friend.

Welders in Australia make different amounts depending on the types of welding. On average, for a first class welder they can make as much as $1.320 a week.

because the current is regulated rather than the voltage

all the motions are controlled by movement that has been programmed.

you cant see whats going on with the arc so to make adjustments you have to reprogram the motion after you stop and see what happened.

perhaps you can set it for constant voltage and get better results.

perhaps constant voltage is better for different materials.

most smaller wire feeds are constant voltage which tends to keep the arc length constant.

the operator can watch what he doing if he can see the arc and can make all manner of small adjustments. without reprogramming the controls.

stick welding is possible because you can watch what you are doing to keep arc length constant the machines are almost always constant current

Rapid oxidation (rust) occurs when oxygen, in the surrounding air, is allowed to reach the molten pool. Time does not factor into the equation. Most welding processes utilize a medium to protect the weld puddle until it solidifies. An inert gas ( ie: argon, helium, CO2) and or a liquid material perform this function. In some instances the heat burns off the oxygen. Once the puddle has solidified the oxidation process is slowed considerably. Any unprotected metal will oxidize (rust) except stainless and some nickle/copper alloys. Even aluminum oxidizes but only to a certain depth.

On an hourly basis, welders earn about R 49.81 in South Africa. With experience, this amount can rise to as much as R 99.26 per hour.

What is the yearly wage of a welder? What is the yearly wage of a welder? What is the yearly wage of a welder?

to keep moisture out

In my experiences with 110 machines I've found that for strength 1/16" is a good thickness. Argon/co2 seems to work better than coated wire for metals thicker than that 1/8" - 5/32". 1/4" is usually too thick to weld as the heat is pulled away from the weld area producing poor or no weld. Remember, this is a "short arc" process. The arc is not on long enough to melt thick material.

This plug is a pin and sleeve 250 volt three phase four wire device. It is rated at 100 amps. A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 130 amps.

Welding rods are fillers that add to the molten pool of metal. They are usually stronger than the metals being fused. In arc welding, they have a coating that burns and creates a shield around the puddle.

welding rods are used for weld two pieces of metal together, or to cut metal if you have big enough rods and enough amps.

Plasma cutter work by emitting a very hot, very bright beam of energy. If you looking into that beam then either you are wearing a welders helmet or you will permanently damage your eyes

Purpose of a pressure regulator is to match the flow of gas through the regulator to the demand of gas placed upon the system. It is a valve that can automatically cut off the fluid of a liquid at a certain pressure.

Depends on how wide a weld deposit you want and how thick the metal is. Short blunt points distribute a wide arc and are used on thick materials. A fine point concentrates the heat and is used on thin metal. You will develope your own techniques. Aluminum welding usually employs pure tungsten and you would form a ball on the end by using reverse polarity and establishing an arc long enough to form a ball the size you want then changing to A C to weld.
