welding processes
This welding process uses a consumable electrode and a shielding gas.
What is MIG welding?
What should be done if a welding fire or small blaze occurs during welding?
Use a fire extinguisher appropriate for metal fires, or smother the fire with a welding blanket or sand.
This welding tool is used to ignite the welding arc and is commonly found in stick welding.
What is a welding electrode holder or stinger?
In welding, this material is used to protect the molten weld pool from atmospheric contamination.
What is a welding flux or shielding gas?
Which welding process is known for its versatility and can be used with a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel?
What is Tungsten Inert Gas?
To protect your eyes while welding, you should wear these.
What are welding goggles or a welding helmet?
This piece of welding equipment is used to regulate the flow of shielding gas in GMAW (MIG) or GTAW (TIG) welding.
What is a gas regulator or flowmeter?
What is the primary metal used in gas welding and cutting operations, as it supports combustion when combined with oxygen?
What is acetylene?
This welding process involves melting the edges of two workpieces and adding a filler material to create a strong joint.
What is oxy-fuel welding or gas welding?
Why is it essential to have good ventilation in a welding workspace?
To remove welding fumes and gases, which can be harmful if inhaled, and to ensure a safe working environment.
This welding tool is used to measure voltage in a welding circuit.
What is a voltmeter?
This common welding material is known for its excellent electrical conductivity and is often used in electrical applications.
What is copper?
In which welding process is a flux used to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination, making it suitable for outdoor applications and rusty materials?
What is Shielded Metal Arc Welding?
What type of clothing should a welder wear to protect themselves from sparks and UV radiation?
Flame-resistant or flame-retardant clothing, including a welding jacket and pants, and leather welding gloves.
What is the name of the device used to clean and prepare the surface of a metal workpiece before welding?
What is a wire brush or grinder?
This alloy is commonly used in TIG welding for its high strength and corrosion resistance.
What is stainless steel?
What welding process relies on a beam of high-energy electrons to join materials and is often used in applications requiring deep penetration and precision?
What is Electron Beam Welding?
What safety equipment should be worn to protect the hands and forearms during welding?
Welding gloves and welding sleeves or apron.
In Tungsten Inert Gas welding, this component is used to hold the non-consumable tungsten electrode and control the welding arc.
What is a TIG torch or TIG welding torch?
In submerged arc welding , this material is added to the welding flux to improve the mechanical properties of the weld.
What is ferroalloy or ferromanganese?
