What type of welding process is used to join dissimilar metal?

friction welding can be used to join dissimilar metal. Also depending on the metals most arc welding processes and oxy-fuel can used. It's just a matter of using the correct filler material or electrode.


How can you keep the arc from spattering as you weld?

for mig welding spatter can be reduced by amp, voltage and wire speed adjustment. check shielding gas. stick welding check the recommended voltage, amps and application for the rod you are using keep your arc short. tig welding, be sure you are using the proper tungsten, and shielding gas and filler rod for the metal you are welding, don't dip the tungsten. make sure the metal you are welding is clean .


What is arc welding answer?

Arc welding is a type of welding using electricity to heat and fuse metal together. In order to control the process the heat must be controlled by varying the current. MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding uses an inert cast to protect the weld from the air at extreme temperatures during the welding process.

What is the difference between backhand welding and forehand welding?

back hand welding is when you pull the welding rod or whatever it is that you are using and forehand is when you push it ahead


What is welding?

When you heat a piece of metal so that part of it melts, that melted part can stick to another piece of metal and when it cools and hardens, the two pieces of metal will be connected by a very solid bond, effectively making them a single piece. That is welding.

What does OFW mean in welding?

OFW stands for oxygen-fuel welding. This groups together the welding processes that use oxygen and a fuel, such as acetylene or propylene, to heat the base metal to it's melting point. Autogenous welds may be made using this process (meaning without filler metal).


What are melting joints?

- Melting - Pieces of metal or plastic can be melted together (welding, soldering - brazing or using chemicals)


What is it called when metal is so smooth they fuse together?

There are are no known processes in which metal is so smooth it begins to fuse together. Metal is typically fused together using welding or smelting.

How do you calculate the blank size in sheet metal?

The blank size of sheet metal can be calculated using the bend allowance. This number is based on the metal thickness and the tool radius in the brake.


How can you avoid electricity during welding?

By using insulating gloves and using gas welding instead of electric arc welding.
