Carbon arc welding

In this process,a carbon or graphite rod is used as negative electrode and the work being welded as a positive. Graphite electrodes posseses longer life and have a low resistance.therefore more suitable for conducting more current. The arc produce between the two electrodes heats the metal to the 4/27/12 melting temperature about 3200c

There are two method :1) without flux 2) with flux Without flux method is used for nonferrous metal. Flux is in the form of powder or paste is used to prevent the weld from oxidation for ferrous metal. the reason to use carbon rod as negative electrode is that less heat will be generated .
