Arc Welding is the process that used the heat from an electric arc to join pieces of metal together
Safey and Health Risk for Arc and MIG Welding include Electric Shock, Burn, Fire, Breathing Hazards.
To help with Electric Shock, make sure everything is properly installed and way from water.
When Welding, you can wear synthetic clothing.
When welding, your hair can be down and you can wear sunglasses.
After finishing each weld, you should dip your work in water and be careful about the steam.
To make sure others are blinded, everyone should say "COVER" before starting to weld.
Make sure all of the ventilation systems are turned off before starting to weld.
Arc Welding is better know as Stick Welding
Shielded is the cloud of gases formed by the burning of the flux.
Slag is only found on a ARC weld.

Before your welder will work, the ground clam must be attached.
Electrodes are made of 2 parts: Rod and Flux Covering.
To have a clean weld, you should Bevel the metal before welding a joint.
Striking is EASY. You can either use the scratch or tapping method.
MIG Welding is the process in which a continuous solid wire electrode is fed through a welding gun and into the weld pool, joining the two base materials together
When MIG Welding, it is best to use a Gas mixer of 75% argon and 25% carbon dioxide
When MIG Welding, just guess on the settings. Don't reference the chart.
When Overhead Welding, be sure to travel at a slow speed for the best weld.
Oxyfuel, better known as Oxyacetylene, is the processes in which Oxygen and Fuel are combined to make a flame.

Red = Oxygen
Red = Acetylene
Oxygen First and Acetylene Second.
