Get Help with Arc Welding Machines & Technology

AI Thread Summary
Resources for learning about arc welding machines, technology, and welding rod specifications include various educational websites from reputable companies. Understanding the importance of amperage settings is crucial, as the diameter of the welding rod is less significant than proper settings and technique. Practicing on scrap materials is recommended for beginners to develop skills and confidence. Using the correct rod for specific applications is emphasized as a key factor in successful welding. Overall, starting with MIG welding is suggested as the most accessible option for newcomers.

Dear . . . Physics Forum

May I Ask Some Help ?

I need a website that makes me learn more about :
1. Arc Welding Machines .
2. Arc Welding Technology .
3. Welding Rodes Specifications .
4. The Calculations That We Need For How Deciding The Welding Rode Diameter Depending On The Working Piece .

My Regards ...

And lots more information on the parent websites. Both companies have lots of information to give you plenty of knowledge about welding. The technique is another matter...

The diameter of the rod isn't that terribly important, not as much as the amperage setting. That's where some scrap pieces to practice on makes for an invaluable learning tool until you're a master welder that can just estimate correctly instead of just guessing with trial-n-error.

Oh, and I'm assuming you're using the correct rod to match your application. Very, very important.

If you're just starting out, regular wire-feed MIG welding is the easiest by far.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
