What is welding cable used for?
A welding cable is used for joining or linking up wires or cable. Welding is the process of joining two things together, and the cable is the connector.

What is a welding lead?
the welding lead is the cable coming from the welding machine that either feeds the wire and shielding gas (mig) or or provides current to the electrode through the holder
A welding cable must not have a splice within how many feet of the welder?
5 feet
When welding with DCEN the electrode is positive and the work is negative?
DCEN means Direct Current Electrode Negative. Hook the welding cable to the Positive connection (+) on the machine, the ground cable to the Negative connection (-) Electricity travels from Negative pole to Positive pole.
Within how many feet must the welding cable be spliced from the electrode holder?
A minimum distance of 10 feet from the cable end to which the electrode holder is.
What decides on the size of welding cable to use?
In order to determine proper gauge of welding cable you must first determine how long the distance you will need in cable, the entire length for both electrode side as well as work clamp side, and you also need to know the amperage you will be using. Once you determine this there are various references online and offline, most commonly in the owners manual to most welding machines, that will give you the proper size based on the amperage and total length. there are a few different factors in determining the size of welding cable you use. Thickness of base metal, distance from machine to worksite, and amperage. I am a welder in the navy and sometimes we run our leads over far distances therefore we need a bigger welding lead to handle the increase in amperage to maintain the proper work temperature. There may be more reasons for using a bigger cable but I am not sure.
What element forms no chemical bonds and is used in welding to keep metal clean?
Argon
Does lacquer coating on tinplate affect welding?
Yes. However, there are paints designed to be compatible with welding as they are designed to protect the surface of the plate from corrosion while in storage. In every code or specification, it is specifically stated that welding should be done on clean metal. Welding over paint is discouraged.
How much current flows in welding cable?
It means scondry and primary coil how current flow in weldingp plant.
What cable do you take off a vehicle before you start welding?
Negative cable, usually black. For safety reasons, you should always remove negative cable first and positive second. Replace in reverse order, + first, - last.
What services does TIG Welding offer?
TIG welding is a method of welding. A tungsten electrode heats up the metal that is to be welded while a gas, such as argon, protects the weld from being contaminated. This method allows for clean, accurate welds. It can also be used on more metals than any other welding process.
