Much heat is generated, and the mixture becomes white-hot. Indeed, thermite reactions have been used to generate intense heat as well as the reduced metal for certain welding applications. Chromium, however, is usually made by coke reduction of chromite (FeC CU) m the electric furnace. The product is ferrochrome, an Fe-Cr alloy, but this is acceptable if, as is often the case, the intention is to make stainless steel. 

Types 321 and 347 have additions of titanium and niobium, respectively, and are used in welding applications and high temperature service under corrosive conditions. Type 304L may be used as an alternative for Types 321 and 347 in welding (qv) and stress-relieving applications below 426 0. 

Electron beam machining (EBM) had been used in aerospace and nuclear industry since 1960 for welding applications. EBM is also used for microdrilling, cutting, and engraving applications. In a vacuum chamber a tungsten cathode filament is heated to between 2500 and 3000 °C to emit electrons, which are focused by a magnetic or static lens system to the worlqjiece specimen, over a well-defined... 

Modem remote laser welding systems enable new welding applications because of drastically improved productivity and speed. In recent years.

Radiant heaters are nonconductive sources that work exceptionally well in plastic thermoforming and bending and welding applications by replasticizing the polymer before the final production processes. The more conamonly accepted industry styles of radiant heaters are ceramic infrared units. Quartz-faced and black body... 

Acetylene (Figure 9.3) is an alkyne, a class of hydrocarbons characterized by carbon-carbon triple bonds involving 6 shared electrons. Acetylene is a highly flammable gas that forms dangerously explosive mixtures with air. It is used in large quantities as a chemical raw material. Acetylene is the fuel in oxyacetylene torches used for cutting steel and for various kinds of welding applications. 

Flat and U-bend coupons may be supplied with an autogenous or butt weld [/3]. With a butt weld, the weld profile is retained and not machined ofi, to duplicate the condition of process equipment, except on U-bend coupons. Autogenous welding (application of a locally melted region on base metal that contains no filler metal) does not always simulate real-world conditions. If welding of the coupon with filler metal is not possible, for example with thin stock, a sensitizing heat treatment may be preferred. 

For small-scale and consumer welding applications, many hardware stores sell cylinders of MAAP gas, which is a mixture of prop)me (methylacetylene) and 1,2-propadiene (allene), with other hydrocarbons. How would you prepare the methylacetylene/allene mixture from propene in the laboratory ... 

Compounds in the a/ky/ies family contain carbon-carbon triple bonds. The first member of this family is acetylene HC CH. Acetylene is the only alkyne that has widespread industrial usage it is a fuel for the oxyacetylene torch and welding applications. 

The shielding gases for welding applications are, as mentioned, hehum or argon or their mixtures. In the United States, hehum gas is preferred due to the accessibility of natural gas rich in helium, which makes the use of hehum economic. In other...

Unlike argon, helium is rarely used as a pure shielding gas here. Helium mixtures, however, are proving extremely useful results in many electric arc welding applications using materials such as steel, aluminium, stainless steel and copper. 

The thermite reaction used in some welding applications has the following enthalpy and entropy changes at 298.15 K. Assuming AS and AH are constant, calculate AG at 448 K. 

In terms of maintenance welding applications, GMAW has the following advantages over SMAW... 

The electrode material, size, and tip shape (Figure 24.21) will depend on the welding application, material, thickness, type of joint, and quantity. Electrodes used for AC or electrode-positive polarity will be of larger diameter than those used for electrode-negative polarity. 

Miller Electric Mfg, Co, (Booth 3405) will be showcasing its Arc Armor welding PPE products and FILTAIR fume extraction equipment at the 2011 National Safety Council Congress and Expo, held this year in Philadelphia, October 30 through November 4, Miller welding safety products provide optimal protection, functionality, comfort and style for all welding applications.
