In North America this procedure is not allowed any more. It was dismissed from use when knob and tubing wiring became obsolete. Now proper approved connectors have replaced the old solder pot. Junctions are now made in electrical boxes where as with knob and tube, the splice just required a half western splice, soldered joint and wrapped with friction tape.

welding gasses are used to block out oxygen from the weld, using an oxide would not be ideal

A: Steel is welded with an Argon/Carbon Dioxide mix....mostly carbon dioxide. 15%/85%. Perhaps CO is too reactive to iron. It is 5 times more likely to bind with the hemoglobin in your blood than oxygen. Probably increases chances of being DEAD.

I imagine it would be more expensive than CO2 as well as CO2 is pretty comonly used!!

During oxyacetylene gas welding, acetylene gas and oxygen are mixed in a torch and ignited to produce a high-temperature flame. The heat from this flame melts the metal being welded, while the oxygen assists in the combustion process by providing additional heat and reacting with the metal to form an oxide layer that is then removed as slag.

Acetylene is the alkyne that combusts with pure oxygen to release intense energy as heat in welding torches. It produces a very high flame temperature, making it suitable for welding and cutting metals.

Its pretty bright lol. You see pink elephants after looking at it.

A safe distance of at least 35 feet should be maintained between welding or cutting operations and combustible materials, or appropriate flame-resistant barriers should be used. It is essential to prevent sparks, slag, or heat from igniting nearby flammable substances, which could lead to fires or explosions. Regularly inspect and remove any flammable materials within the designated area to ensure a safe work environment.

Lack of fusion in welding refers to a discontinuity where the weld metal fails to fuse completely with the base metal or the preceding weld bead. This can weaken the weld joint, leading to potential structural integrity issues. Common causes include inadequate heat input, incorrect welding technique, or poor joint preparation.

Welding can produce contaminants such as metal fumes, gases, and vapors. These contaminants include particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other toxic gases, depending on the materials being welded and the welding method used. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are essential to minimize exposure to these contaminants.

Phosgene is a very toxic chemical that can be produced during welding when chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents come into contact with UV radiation from the welding arc. This can occur when cleaning metal surfaces with solvents containing chlorinated compounds before welding. Exposure to phosgene can lead to severe respiratory issues and even death.

The purpose of shielding gas in GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) is to protect the weld pool from contaminants in the atmosphere, such as oxygen and nitrogen, that can negatively impact the quality of the weld. The gas creates a protective barrier around the molten metal, preventing oxidation and ensuring a clean, strong weld.

In DC welding, electrode positive (DCEP) produces more heat at the workpiece, leading to deeper penetration and faster welding speeds. In contrast, electrode negative (DCEN) focuses more heat on the electrode, resulting in shallower penetration and slower welding speeds. AC welding alternates between these effects with each cycle.

To test an ultrasonic weld, you can perform non-destructive tests like visual inspection for any visible defects, ultrasonic testing to check for bond integrity, and pull or shear testing to measure the strength of the weld. These tests help ensure the quality and reliability of the weld.

Ultrasonic testing of welds involves using high-frequency sound waves to detect flaws or discontinuities in the weld material. This non-destructive testing method can help identify structural defects such as cracks, porosity, or lack of fusion in the weld joint. Ultrasonic testing is commonly used in industries like construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas to ensure the integrity and quality of welds.

It's when the different metals parts haven't melted together properly

The flame produced by burning acetylene gas is typically colorless when burned in pure oxygen. However, if burned in air, it can produce a slight yellowish flame due to incomplete combustion, which may also contain some soot.

Tack welding is often used to hold materials in place before final welding. The thickness of the material being welded can affect the size and number of tack welds needed for proper positioning and alignment. Thicker materials may require more tack welds to prevent distortion or misalignment during final welding.

Moisture in the electrode can cause porosity in the weld, as the moisture turns into steam during the welding process, creating gas pockets. This can weaken the overall integrity of the weld and affect its mechanical properties. It is important to keep electrodes dry to prevent these issues.

An oxyacetylene torch typically burns at a temperature of around 3,500 degrees Celsius (6,332 degrees Fahrenheit) when both oxygen and acetylene are mixed and ignited.

A cutting flame with excess oxygen is known as an oxidizing flame. It is commonly used in metal cutting processes, as the higher oxygen concentration facilitates faster and more efficient cutting by promoting the oxidation of the metal. However, care must be taken to prevent overheating or damaging the material being cut.

For tack welding, the general guideline is to have tack weld sizes of 1.5 to 2 times the material thickness. The spacing between tack welds should be approximately 4 to 6 times the material thickness. However, these dimensions may vary depending on the specific welding project and material being used.

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.

Materials such as galvanized metal, lead, mercury, and beryllium can produce toxic fumes when welded. The heat generated during the welding process can vaporize these materials, leading to the release of harmful fumes that can be dangerous if inhaled. It is important for welders to work in well-ventilated areas and use appropriate respiratory protection when working with these materials.

Poor penetration and incomplete fusion in welding can be caused by factors such as improper welding parameters (such as low heat input), incorrect welding technique, inadequate joint preparation, presence of contaminants like oil or rust, or poor fit-up between the workpieces. These issues can result in weak or defective welds that may compromise the integrity of the joint.

If you light a welding rod with a match, it will start to burn and produce sparks due to the high heat generated. However, a match may not provide enough sustained heat to fully ignite the welding rod for welding purposes. It is safer and more effective to use appropriate equipment and procedures for welding.

Arc blow can affect welding because it can cause the arc to wander or fluctuate, leading to inconsistent penetration and weld quality. This can result in defects like lack of fusion, incomplete penetration, and uneven bead appearance. Arc blow is typically caused by magnetic fields generated by the welding process interacting with the base metal or surrounding environment.
