Carbide-tipped circular saw blades can last up to ten times longer than steel blades.
Carboloy
Carbon and hard tungsten compound which is used for making cutting blades and saw teeth and as the abrasive on sandpaper.
Carbon
In its pure form carbon exists as a diamond or graphite; atomic number 6; atomic weight 12.011; atomic symbol C. This element combines with other elements.
Carbon arc cutting (cac)
Metal cutting using the heat of an electric arc between the base metal and a carbon electrode.
Carbon arc welding (caw)
Welding process, which employs an electric arc from a carbon electrode to the work as the heat source, with or without the addition of filler metal.
Carbon arc welding, shielded (caw-s)
Welding process that uses a carbon electrode shielded with a blanket of flux on the work or the combustion of a solid material or both.
Carbon arc welding, twin (caw-t)
Electric arc welding using an arc between two carbon electrodes as the heat source without shielding and with or without pressure and/or filler metal.
Carbon dioxide
A colorless, odorless noncombustible gas with the formula CO2 that is present in the atmosphere. It is formed by the combustion of carbon and carbon compounds (such as fossil fuels and biomass), by respiration, which is a slow combustion in animals and plants, and by the gradual oxidation of organic matter in the soil.
Carbon electrode
Carbon in the form of a rod used as an electrode.
Carbon monoxide
A colorless, odorless but poisonous combustible gas with the formula CO. Carbon monoxide is produced in the incomplete combustion of carbon and carbon compounds such as fossil fuels (i.e. coal, petroleum) and their products (e.g. liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline), and biomass.
