Why is a transformer rectifier often prefferred for smaw?

SMAW stands for shielded metal arc welding. The rectifier used in the welding machines must be referring to this type welding.


What is the temp for smaw welding arc?

We were taught that the arc temperature can exceed 5,000 degrees F. Amperage settings can increase or reduce this temperature.


What is SMAW process?

SMAW stands for Shielded Metal Arc Welding. This process uses electrodes with flux coating, which release gases to surround the weld metal, thereby preventing oxidation.


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.


Explain the principle behind arc welding.?

Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.


Is O2 also added to shielding gas in tungsten arc welding process?

No, that would defeat the purpose. Shielding gases must be inert (e.g. argon, helium).
