Why arc strike occur in arc welding?

because you're making a short-circuit that's why!, whaddayaknow uh? More correctly as the label "arc welding" implies an arc is made by striking the metal to be welded with the electrode and this establishes the arc needed to generate the heat needed to melt the rod or filler metal and weld the parent metals together. The problem comes about when the arc is established outside of the area to be welded and this strike leaves a very hard area (due to the momentary strike that creates a hard node) that with any stress can become the start point for a crack or small fracture that with continued stress will grow until complete failure of the part. There are many examples of this occurring where, e.g. a single arc strike near a welded seam on a ship has started a crack that then moved to the welded seam and then followed the seam down the side, under the keel and the ship broke in half. So an arc strike occurs most commonly due to an accidental strike by a welder outside of the weld area where it will not be consumed by the weld process and if left will expose the part to potential failure at some time in the future. "Arc strike" is commonly used to describe a mark left on the metal caused by the misplaced arc being started outside the weld area. Welder competence will play a big part in the ability to strike an arc in the weld zone where intended but regardless of the reason for the "arc strike" the answer is to remove the arc strike to prevent possible part failure at some time in the future.

Is Welding set a high voltage or high current load?

The arc utilized for arc welding is low voltage high current discharge. The voltage required for maintaining an arc is less than for striking the arc. Voltage drops & current increases as the arc is developed. The voltage required to strike DC arc is about 50-55 V & for AC is 80-90 V.It is difficult to maintain the arc with voltage less than 14V or more than 40V.READ ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY BY B L THAREJA / AK THAREJA


What is the higher voltage at the electrode before the arc is struck called what is it's advantages to welding?

Open circuit voltage is the voltage at the electrode before striking an arc (with no current being drawn). The higher the open circuit voltage, the easier it is to strike an arc because of the initial higher voltage pressure.


What is the difference between an arc welder and a stick welder?

Stick welding is also more difficult to learn and use, particularly the ability to strike and maintain an arc. Arc welders are available in AC, DC or AC/DC, with AC being the most economical. It's used for welding thicker metals of 1/16 inch or greater.


What is the function of the choke in a hpsv lamp?

The function of any ballast in a lighting fixture is to raise the voltage high enough to strike an arc through the bulb or tube.

Is a circle an arc?

an arc is a segment of a circle. If the arc subtends a full angle of 360 degrees, then the arc is a circle; but this is a special case of an arc.


Arc length equals the measure of the arc?

The arc length is the radius times the arc degree in radians


What is the area of an arc?

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.
