Question | Answer |
---|---|
Welding filter lens | A shaded glass welding insert for protecting your eyes from ultraviolet burns. |
Weld | A weld is formed when separate pieces of material are fused together through the application of heat. |
Base Material | is the material to be welded, usually metal or plastic. Both can be welded in the collision repair industry. |
Filler material | from a wire or rod is added to the weld joint. The filler material makes the weld joint thicker and stronger. |
Weld root | is the part of the joint where the wire electrode is directed |
Weld face | is the exposed surface of the weld on the side where you welded |
Weld penetration | is indicated by the height of the exposed surface of the weld on the back side. |
Burn mark | on the back of a weld is an indication of good weld penetration. |
Burn through | results from penetrating too much in the lower base metal, which burns a hole through the back side of the metal. |
Weld legs | are the width and height of the weld bead. |
Weld throat | refers to the deaths of the triangular cross section of the weld. |
Joint fit up | refers to holding workpieces tightly together, in alignment, to prepare for welding. |
Fusion welding | is the joining of two different pieces of metal together by melting and fusing them into each other. |
MIG welding | is a wire feed fusion welding process commonly used in collision repair. |
GMAW | gas metal arc welding. |
MIG shielding gas | protects the weld area from oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. |
Active gas | which combines with the weld to contribute to weld quality. |
Inert gas | which protects the weld but does NOT combine with the weld. |
Heat setting or voltage | determines the length of the arc. |
Travel speed | is how fast you move the welding gun across the joint. |
