TYPES OF WELDING
Non-consumable Electrode Arc welding
As a non-consumable electrodes tungsten or carbon electrodes can be used. In gas-tungsten arc welding tungsten electrode is used in place of the metal electrode used in shielded metal-arc welding. A chemically inert gas, such as argon, helium [«hJlIqm], or carbon dioxide is used to shield the metal from oxidation. The heat from the arc formed between the electrode and the metal meits the edges of the metal. Metal for the weld may be added by placing a bare wire in the arc or the point of the weid This process can be used with nearly all metals and produces a high-quality weld. However, the rate of welding is considerably slower than in other process. Продолжить чтение «TYPES OF WELDING»
