2. Removal of Surface contaminants
• Surface contaminants may be organic films, absorbed gases or chemical compounds of the base metals (usually oxides)
• Heat when used as source of energy removes organic films and absorbed gases
• Fluxes are used to clean oxide films and other contaminants to form slag
• Slag floats and solidifies above weld bead protecting the weld from further oxidation
![Page 30: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

3. Protection from atmospheric contamination
• Shielding gases are used to protect molten weld pool from atmospheric contaminants like O2 & N2 present in air
• Shielding gases could be Ar, He,CO2
• Alternatively, welding could be carried out in an inert atmosphere.
![Page 31: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

4. Control of weld metallurgy
• Microstructures formed in the weld and HAZ determines the properties of the weld
• Depends on heating, cooling rates (power, weld travel speed)
• Can be controlled by preheating/ post heat treatment
• De-oxidants, alloying elements etc. added to control weld metal properties
![Page 32: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Heat transfer mechanisms in Fusion Welding
Heat transf. factor f1= Heat transf. to work / Heat gen. by source Melting Factor f2 = Heat used for melting / Heat tranf. to work
Useful heat or energy = f1.f2 33
![Page 34: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Example No: 1 The power source in a particular welding setup generates
3500 W that can be transferred to the work surface with a heat transfer factor f1 = 0.70. The metal to be welded is low carbon steel, whose melting temperature is 1760K. The melting factor in the operation is 0.50. A continuous fillet weld is to be made with a cross-sectional area of 20 mm2. Determine the travel speed at which the welding operation can be accomplished?
Heat capacity of low carbon steel (Cp)=480 J/Kg.K Latent heat of melting Lm =247 kJ/Kg Density ρ = 7860 kg/m3
Initial sample temperature T0 = 300 K 34
![Page 35: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Example 1-Solution Rate of heat input to the weld bead = 3500 × f1 × f2
= 3500 × 0.7 × 0.5 = 1225 J/s Heat input = Energy used for heating to Tm + Energy used
for melting
1225 = [Cp(Tm-T0) + Lm ] ρ × A × v
1225 = [480(1760-300) + 247 ×103] × 7860 × 20 ×10-6 × v Travel speed v = 0.0082 m/s = 8.2 mm/s

Atoms Lattice Grains
36
Some material science basics…
• Grain size, Grain boundaries, • Recrystalization ~0.4-0.6 Tm → Atoms remain in lattice, but new grains will be formed • Melting → Atoms displaced from lattice, free to move
![Page 37: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Some material science basics…
• Metals are crystalline in nature and consists of irregularly shaped grains of various sizes
• Each grain is made up of an orderly arrangement of atoms known as lattice
• The orientation of atoms in a grain is uniform but differ in adjacent grains
37
![Page 38: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38 38
Basic Classification of welding (a) Fusion welding (b) solid-state welding
• Uses heat to melt the base metals • A filler metal is mostly added to the molten pool to facilitate the process and provide bulk and strength to the welded joint. • e.g., Arc welding, resistance welding, Gas welding, Laser beam welding, Electron beam welding
a) Fusion Welding
![Page 39: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39 39
• Coalescence results from application of pressure alone or a combination of heat and pressure
• If heat is used, the temperature in the process is below the melting point of the metals being welded
• No filler metal is used • e.g., Diffusion welding, friction welding,
ultrasonic welding
Basic Classification of welding b) Solid state Welding
![Page 40: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

41 41
Grain growth in Fusion welding
• Fusion Zone → Directional solidification → Epitaxial grain growth → Columnar grains
• HAZ → Possible recrystallization/ grain refinement or phase change
• Slow cooling →Coarse grains; Fast cooling → Fine grains • Shrinkage of fusion zone → Residual stress on the base
metal surrounding HAZ
![Page 42: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42 42
Micro-structural zones in Solid state welding
• No Fusion zone • Little or no HAZ • Mechanically upset region (Flash) • Plastic deformation at the interface
![Page 43: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Role of Temperature in Fusion/ solid state welding
• Drives off volatile adsorbed layers of gases, moisture, or organic contaminants
• Breaks down the brittle oxide through differential thermal expansion
• Lowers yield/flow strength of base materials→ helps plastic deformation
• Promotes dynamic recrystallization during plastic deformation (if T > Tr)
• Accelerates the rates of diffusion of atoms • Melts the substrate materials, so that atoms can
rearrange by fluid flow (if T > Tm) 43
![Page 44: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Role of Pressure in solid state welding
• Disrupts the adsorbed layers of gases/organic compound or moisture by macro- or microscopic deformation
• Fractures brittle oxide or tarnish layers to expose clean base material atoms
• Plastically deform asperities (lattice) to increase the number of atoms that come into intimate contact (at equilibrium spacing)

Example 1 - OAW An oxyacetylene torch supplies 0.3 m3 of acetylene per
hour and an equal volume rate of oxygen for an OAW operation on 4.5-mm-thick steel.
Heat generated by combustion is transferred to the work surface with a heat transfer factor f1 = 0.20. If 75% of the heat from the flame is concentrated in a circular area on the work surface that is 9.0 mm in diameter, find
(a) rate of heat liberated during combustion, (b) rate of heat transferred to the work surface, and (c) average power density in the circular area. (Heat of combustion of Acetylene in O2 = 55×106 J/m3)

65
Example 1 - OAW (a) The rate of heat generated by the torch is the product of the volume rate of acetylene times the heat of combustion: RH = (0.3 m3/hr) (55×106) J/m3 = 16.5×106 J/hr or 4583 J/s (b) With a heat transfer factor f1 = 0.20, the rate of heat received at the work surface is f1 × RH = 0.20×4583 = 917 J/s (c) The area of the circle in which 75% of the heat of the flame is concentrated is A = Pi. (9)2/4 = 63.6 mm2
The power density in the circle is found by dividing the available heat by the area of the circle: Power density = 0.75 × 917/63.6 = 10.8 W/mm2 65

Arc Shielding in AW process • Accomplished by covering
– the electrode tip, – arc, and – molten weld pool with a blanket of gas or flux,
• Common shielding gases → argon and helium,
• In the welding of ferrous metals with certain AW processes, oxygen and carbon dioxide are used, usually in combination with Ar and/or He, to produce an oxidizing atmosphere or to control weld shape

![Page 73: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Flux in AW process • Flux is usually formulated to serve several
functions: (1) To remove/prevent oxide (2) provide a protective atmosphere (3) stabilize the arc, and (4) reduce spattering • Flux delivery techniques include (1) pouring granular flux onto the weld (2) using a stick electrode coated with flux material
in which the coating melts during welding (3) using tubular electrodes in which flux is
contained in the core and released as the electrode is consumed

Arc Welding- Consumable Electrodes
• Consumable electrodes → Rods or wire.
• Welding rods → 225 to 450 mm long, < 10 mm dia.
• Welding rods → to be changed periodically → reducing arc time of welder
• Consumable weld wire → continuously fed into the weld pool from spools → avoiding the frequent interruptions
74 74
![Page 75: Casting, Forming & Welding](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/563dbac1550346aa9aa7ca07/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Arc Welding- Non-consumable Electrodes
• Made of tungsten (or carbon, rarely), which resists melting by the arc
• Slow depletion → Analogous to wearing of a cutting tool in machining
• Filler metal must be supplied by means of a separate wire that is fed into the weld pool

Electrode coating in SMAW- constituents (optional)
• Shielding gas is generated by either the decomposition or dissociation of the coating, Cellulosic →generates H2, CO, H2O and CO2
Limestone (CaCO3)→ generates CO2 and CaO slag Rutile (TiO2) up to 40% → easy to ignite, gives slag
detachability, fine bead appearance, generates O2 & H2 by hydrolysis
• Slag formers (flux): SiO, MnO2, FeO.Al2O3 • Arc stabilizers: Na2O, CaO, MgO, TiO2 • Deoxidizer: Graphite, Al, Wood flour • Binder: sodium silicate, K silicate • Alloying elements: V, Co, Mo, Zr, Ni, Mn, W etc. 79 79

SMAW-Adv & Applications
• It is preferred over oxyfuel welding for thicker sections—above 5 mm —because of its higher power density.
• The equipment is portable and low cost, making SMAW highly versatile and most widely used AW processes.
• Base metals include steels, stainless steels, cast irons, and certain nonferrous alloys

SMAW-Disadvantages
• Electrode length varies during the operation
• Length affects the resistance heating of the electrode,
• Current levels → To be maintained within a safe range or the coating will overheat and melt prematurely when starting a new welding stick

SMAW-Disadvantages
• Use of the consumable electrode → must periodically be changed → reduces the arc time
• Offers limited shielding protection compared to inert gas shielded processes
• Some of the other AW processes overcome the limitations of welding stick length in SMAW by using a continuously fed wire electrode
