CO2 welding is a welding process that uses carbon dioxide to protect the weld pool from oxidisation during the welding process.
It is also known as Metal Inert Gas(MIG), Manual Arc Gas Shielded(MAGS), welding.
CO2 is not the only gas used, it needs to be heavier than air to work.
The weld pool is, a pool of weld or liquid/molten metal that solidifies as one when finished welding, it is usually between two items so as to fuse the pieces together.
CO2 welding uses a long coil of filler wire that is fed in through the handheld torch, this filler wire melts as it completes the electrical circuit by means of an electric arc which reaches temperature of around 3100 degrees Celsius, and unsurprisingly this melts the metal.

What is Welding Speed and Welding time for Co2 Welding Process?
Your question is incomplete. Which process? Which electrode? What is the basemetal, which position? etc etc
Co2 oxygen both use same time in mig welding?
CO2 and O2 can not be used in the same time for shielding gas in MIG welding, it would create too much oxidation of the molten metal.
What type of welding wire is used when welding panel steel?
For steel, flux core or hard wire with Argon/CO2 is used with the GMAW process.
What is the maximum thickness for laser welding?
The thickness of the laser welding machine depends on the power of the laser generator inside the Laser Welding Machine, the thickness of the object to be welded. These two points are the most important.
How do you troubleshoot the porosity blow holes burnthrough problems in CO2 MIG welding?
Check the shielding gas & its flow rate.

What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
What type of gas is used when mig welding steal?
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%

What type of welding wire is used when welding panel steel?
For steel, flux core or hard wire with Argon/CO2 is used with the GMAW process.
Which compressed gases are used for welding?
For example argon or helium for TIG welding. Oxi-fuel welding: oxygen and a combustible gas: acetylene, propane, butane, propylene, gasoline, hydrogen, etc.
What gasses commonly used for mig welding?
On steel a mixture of Argon and CO2 usually 75% to 25%
What has the author John Walter JONES written?
John Walter JONES has written: 'CO2 welding for pipeline construction'

The thickness of the laser welding machine depends on the power of the laser generator inside the Laser Welding Machine, the thickness of the object to be welded. These two points are the most important.
How do you troubleshoot the porosity blow holes burnthrough problems in CO2 MIG welding?
Check the shielding gas & its flow rate.
What is the welding for MIG welding?
mig welding is Metal Inert Gas welding. it typically uses Constant voltage DC+ current. It uses a wire feeder that supplies the electrode to the weld puddle and shields the molten weld puddle with inert gas (argon/co2 blend). Filler wire and shielding gas depend on the metal being welded.
What type of inert gas is used for the spray method of welding?
== == 95% Argon 5% CO2 is most commonly used for spray MIG.
