You do NOT use "goggles" when arc-welding. You use a proper face-shield (mine is the auto-darkening type), and you should not expose any skin to the arc's intense UV radiation.

Do you need a darker or lighter welding helmet for arc welding?
A darker helmet shade, compared to gas welding. A shade of 10 for 70 amps, it works up from there, or you could buy a auto-darkening hood which you can see out of, but when you strick the rod on the metal it darkens to the right shade for you to still see out of.
How does welding damage eye sight?
An electric welding arc produces ultraviolet light and the UV light will damage the retina. With a good welding helmet, your eyes will be protected, but you must have the proper shade (somewhere between 9 and 14 depending on your amperage) and if using an auto-darkening helmet, it must switch on quickly.

Name the welding processes covered in this chapter which may use a shielding gas to shield the weld area?
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Gas Metal Arc Welding Flux Cored Arc Welding
What are smaw welding?
smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
Difference between ERW and SAW welding?
SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.
What are some basic accessories that are neede in arc welding?
Safety awareness, Welding helmet, gloves, welding jacket, welders hat, chipping hammer, safety glasses, heavy pants, leather shoes, hand grinder, and a wire brush.
What is the difference between gas welding goggles and arc welding goggles?
If by gas welding you mean-oxyacetylene welding. The difference is just that arc welding requires a darker shade of lens. When oxyfuel gas welding (OFW) usually a shade 5 lens is recommended. When arc welding, a minimum of shade 10 lens should be used (actually shade should be determined by amount of current used).
What type of arc welding equipment is necessary when participating in arc welding?
The most important equipment you can have is your safety equipment, your gloves, visor and heavy-duty clothing. You have to have some sort of a power source to generate the electricity necessary for arc welding, so I'd say a power source is your most important arc welding equipment.
What is full form of ARC in arc welding?
The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.
Do you need a darker or lighter welding helmet for arc welding?

How does an electric welding helmet work?
It protects your eyes from the bright light of the electric arc and covers your head and neck to protect you from sparks.
What is the full form of arc welding?
If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
Where do you prefer arc welding?
Almost all welding today is done with electricity (Arc Welding) even on cast iron. SMAW, GTAW, GMAW etc. --AW means Arc Welding.

Does arc welding create ozone?
Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.

Explain the principle behind arc welding.?
Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.
