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.
When welder need to requalify for gtaw and smaw?
Welders need to requalify for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) when they have been away from welding for an extended period, typically six months to a year, depending on the employer or governing body requirements. Additionally, requalification may be necessary if there are changes in the welding procedure, the welder's skill level is in question, or if new materials or equipment are introduced. Regular assessments and requalification ensure that welders maintain the necessary skills and adhere to safety and quality standards.
What welding processes use constant current arc welding machines?
Constant current arc welding machines are primarily used in processes such as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW or TIG), and some variations of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). These machines maintain a consistent current level to ensure stable arcs, which is especially important for manual and precise welding applications. SMAW and GTAW benefit from this characteristic, as they allow for better control over the weld pool and electrode.
Which arc welding process would shipbuilding industry use?
In European Shipbuilding Industries used SMAW,GTAW,GMAW,SAW,FCAW(MAG). In INDIAN Shipbuilding Industries used, LBW,EBW,EGW,ESW,FCAW,SAW.
What are smaw welding?
smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
Name and explain the two methods of striking an arc in arc welding?
There is two technique of arc initiation, first TAPPING Technique and second SCRATCH Technique. TAPING Technique is generally use in GTAW and SCRATCH Technique is used for SMAW process.
what is GTAW?
GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING
What is the minimum thickness of metal normally welded using the smaw process?
The minimum thickness for SMAW welding is about 18 ga. with a steady hand.
How much does a SMAW cost?
The cost of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) equipment can vary widely depending on the brand and specifications. A basic SMAW machine can range from $300 to $1,500, while more advanced models can cost upwards of $2,000. Additionally, consumables such as electrodes and protective gear will add to the overall expenses. Overall, a complete setup, including necessary accessories, may cost between $500 and $3,000.
Why must the tip of a tungsten electrode be hot in GTAW?
The tip of the tungsten electrode has to be hot in GTAW because you are trying to weld two pieces of metal together, and that takes a lot of heat.
