Welding is a process of joining two similar or dissimilar
metals by application of heat with or without application of
pressure and addition of filler material.
The heat may be obtained from the blacksmith’s fire,
electric arc, electric resistance or chemical reaction.
Modern methods of welding may be classified into two major types.
(i) Fusion process
(ii) Non fusion process

Weldability The property of a metal, which indicates the ease with which two similar or dissimilar metals are joined by fusion with or without the application of pressure.
Factors affecting the weldability of a metal:
1. Composition of the metal2. Melting point3. Thermal conductivity4. Thermal expansion5. Surface condition6. Change in micro structure
![Page 10: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Arc welding is the welding process, in which heat is
generated by an electric arc struck between an electrode
and the work piece. Electric arc is luminous electrical
discharge between two electrodes through ionized gas.
Arc welding
The discharge of electric
Current across a gap of two
Electrodes.
![Page 11: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Basic arc-welding circuit
![Page 12: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Electric arc between the electrode and work piece closes the electric circuit.
The arc temperature may reach 10000°F (5500°C), which is sufficient for fusion of work piece edges and joining them.
This heat melts both the base metal and the electrode, producing a pool of molten metal sometimes called a "crater."
The crater solidifies behind the electrode as it is moved along the joint. The result is a fusion bond.
![Page 13: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

AC or DC Machine
• Generators driven by electric motors or IC engines obtain DC welding supply.
• For AC welding supply, transformers are mostly used to step down the voltage (200-400 volts) to welding voltage of 50-90 volts.
• 100A - 200A - Light manual welding
• 300 - 400A - Average manual welding
• 800 - 3000A - Automatic welding
![Page 16: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A.C. arc welding D.C.Welding
The A.C. Welding transformer has no moving parts and is simpler.
The D.C welding generator has rotating parts and is more
complicated. The transformer costs less and
its maintenance cost is low. The generator costs more and its maintenance cost is high.
Since the distribution of heat is equal, therefore there is no need for changing the polarity. Hence only ferrous metals are usually welded by A.C.
Heat distribution is different in two poles, i.e., 2/3 in positive and 1/3 in negative. By changing the polarity, all types of metals can be welded by D.C.
All types of electrodes can not be used in A.C. arc welding because the current constantly reverses with every cycle.
All types of electrodes, bare or coated can be used in D.C. arc welding because the polarity can
be changed to suit the electrode.
![Page 17: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The problem of 'arc blow' does not arise, as it is very easy to control.
In D.C. the 'arc blow' is serve and cannot be controlled easily.
The arc is never stable. The arc is more stable.
In can be used only when A.C. supply from the mains is available.
In the absence of A.C. main supply, an engine driven D.C. generator set can be used.
A.C. is more dangerous D.C. is comparatively less dangerous
![Page 18: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The transformer consists of a rectangular steel tank.
An oil cooled double wound step down transformer
reduces the supply main voltage to a welding voltage
of 80. All windings are totally enclosed in the steel
tank.
Rotating the hand wheel can vary the output of the
transformers and the weld current can be directly
read at the window on the tank cover. The set is
connected 400-440 volts 3 phase, 50 cycles ac
supply.

It is filler metal in the form of a wire or rod used as a terminal in an electric current for the purpose of producing an electric arc.
The electrodes are classified as consumable electrode and non-consumable electrode.
A consumable electrode is similar in composition to the metal being welded and it melts to become a part of weld.
A non-consumable electrode may be made of carbon, graphite or tungsten, which do not consume during the welding operation.

Specification of electrode
![Page 22: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Angularity of electrode• The quality of weld is determined to a
marked degree by the angular deposition
of the electrode to the work. In flat welding,
electrode should not be held at not more
than 20º from the vertical and 3 mm away
from the work.
![Page 23: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Polarity
In DC welding machine, the heat generated by the flow
of current is split into two parts, in the ratio of 66% at
the positive pole and 33 percent at the negative pole.
In straight polarity the electrode is negative and the
work is positive.
In the reverse polarity the electrode is positive and the
work is negative.

protection of his eyes, face and the
throat from harmful rays of electric arc
and from the hot flying particles or
spatter.
Hand Gloves
For protection of wrist and hands,
gloves and worn by the welders.
They are made of leather or asbestos.
They should be as flexible as possible.

Lap joint
This used to joint two overlapping plates so that the edge of each plate is welded in the other.
These joints are employed on plates
having thickness less than 3 mm.
The lap joints may be single transverse, double transverse and parallel lap joints.
![Page 29: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Butt joint
It is used to joints two ends or two edges or surfaces located
in the same plane with each other.
In butt welds, the plate edges do not require beveling if the
thickness of plate is less than 5 mm.
On the other hand, if the plate thickness is 5 mm to 12.5
mm, the edges should be beveled to V or U-groove and
plates having thickness above 12.5 mm should have a V
or U-groove on both sides.

is horizontal.
It is the reverse of flat welding.
![Page 39: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Bead - It describes the neatness of ripples formed by the metal while it was in semi liquid state. It denotes the appearance of the finished weld.
Face of the weld - The exposed surface of the weld
Flux - A fusible material used to prevent formation of oxides, nitrites and promote fusion of metal.
Welding Terminologies
![Page 40: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Base metal - The metal to be welded. It is also known as parent metal.
Fillet - Weld metal in the internal corner point formed by two pieces of metal, giving the joint additional strength to with stand unusual stresses.
Tack - A relatively small weld to hold parts together to assist assembly or maintain alignment of exist during welding.
![Page 41: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Spatter - Globules of weld metal or filler expelled during welding and adhering to the surface of the parent metal or solidified weld metal. Use of shorter arc, reduced current, and correct electrode minimize the spatter.
• • Slag - Molten flux absorbs oxide
from the surface of the parent metal and floats on the molten metal.
![Page 42: FMP 221 Lecture 10 and 11](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf92bf550346f57b9937dc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Arc Crater The blast of the arc forces the molten metal out of the pool, thus forming a small depression in the parent metal around which molten metal is piled up. This is known as arc crater Arc LengthThe distance through the centre of the arc from the tip of the electrode to the bottom of the arc crater is the arc length. Arc length is vital variable and should be 3 to 4 mm Arc Blow A large current produces arc blow. The space around the arc and on the adjacent metal is always influenced by magnetic field, which tends to deflect the arc. This is known as arc blow. It can be minimized by changing the angle of electrode and direction of welding.
