INTRODUCTION
Welding is the process of joining metals by melting the parts and then using a filler to
form a joint.
Welding can be done using different energy sources, from a gas flame or electric arc to a laser or ultrasound
The primary differences between the various welding processes are the methodsby which heat is generated to melt the metal.

A is a materials joining
process which produces coalescence of materials
by heating them to suitable temperatures with or
without the application of pressure or by the
application of pressure alone and with or without the use of filler material .

TYPES OF WELDING PROCESSES
& APPLICATIONS
Arc welding is done through the use of an electricalcurrent, and can be performed by using inexpensiveequipment.
Gas Welding is widely used for repair work, especially in anything involving pipes and tubes. Gas welding is
common in the jewelry industry, as well as for the welding of plastics and other materials that cannotstand higher temperatures.
Resistance welding involves the use of additionalsheets of metal to encase the pieces to be welded together. It is the most environmentally-friendly of all
methods, but it requires costly equipment that cannotbe used in all situations.
Energy beam welding, also known as laser beam welding, is one of the most modern techniques used.Laser welding is fast and accurate, but the highequipment cost makes it prohibitive for many
industries

GAS WELDING
One of the most popular welding methods uses a gas flame asa source of heat.
In the oxy-fuel gas welding process ,heat is produced by burning acetylene, mixed with oxygen.
Gas welding is widely used in maintenance and repair work because of the ease in transporting oxygen and fuel cylinders.
Oxy-fuel process is adaptable to brazing, cutting, and heat treating all types of metals

ARC WELDING
Arc welding is a process that uses an electric arc to join themetals being welded.
A distinct advantage of arc welding over gas welding is theconcentration of heat.
This heat concentration also increases the depth of
penetration and speeds up the welding operation; All arc-welding processes have three things in common:
• a heat source,
• filler metal, and
• shielding.
The source of heat in arc welding is produced by the arcing of an electrical current between two contacts.

SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING (SMAW)
, also known as Manual
, Stick Welding, Covered Electrode Welding or lectric Arc Welding, is the most widely used of the various arc weldingprocesses
is performed by striking an arcbetween a coated-metal electrode and the base metal.
Once the arc has been established, the molten metal from the tip of the electrode flows together with the molten metal from the edges of the base metal to form a sound joint. This processis known as
The coating (flux) from the electrode forms a covering over
the weld deposit, shielding it from contamination; therefore the process is called
This forms the gas and slag to shield the arc and molten weldpool.
The flux also provides a method of adding scavengers,
deoxidizers, and alloying elements to the weld metal.

One reason for the wide acceptance of the SMAW process is the simplicity of the necessary equipment.
The equipment consists of the following items. Welding power source
Electrode holder
Ground clamp
Welding cables and connectors
Accessory equipment (chipping hammer, wire
brush) Protective equipment (helmet, gloves, etc.)

WELDING POWER SOURCES Shielded metal arc welding may utilize either alternating current (AC) or direct
current (DC), but in either case, the power source selected must be of the constant
current type.
This type of power source will deliver a relatively constant amperage or weldingcurrent regardless of arc length variations by the operator
The amperage determines the amount of heat at the arc and since it will remain
relatively constant, the weld beads produced will be uniform in size and shape.
Whether to use an AC, DC, or AC/DC power source depends on the type of welding tobe done and the electrodes used. The following factors should be considered:
- Using a DC power source allows the use of a greater rangeof electrode types. While most of the electrodes are designed to be used on AC or
DC, some will work properly only on DC
- DC power sources may be used for welding both heavy sectionsand light gauge work. Sheet metal is more easily welded with DC because it iseasier to strike and maintain the DC arc at low currents.
While polarity affects the penetration and burn-off rate, the electrode coating also
has a strong influence on arc characteristics.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/welding-types-procedures-parameters 20/156
The electrode holder connects to the welding cable and conducts the welding current to the electrode.
The insulated handle is used to guide the electrode over the weld joint and feed the electrode over the weld joint and feed the electrode into the weldpuddle as it is consumed.
The ground clamp is used to connect the ground cable to the work piece.
It may be connected directly to the work or to the table or fixture upon which the work is positioned.
The electrode cable and the ground cable are important parts of the weldingcircuit.
They must be very flexible and have a tough heat-resistant insulation. Connections at the electrode holder, the ground clamp, and at the power
source lugs must be soldered or well crimped to assure low electricalresistance.

GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING (GTAW)
is a welding process performed using the heat of an arc
established between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the work piece
The primary difference between shielded metal arc welding and gas shielded arc welding is the type of shielding used.
In gas shielded arc welding, both the arc and the molten puddle are covered by a shield of inert gas.
The shield of inert gas prevents atmospheric contamination , thereby producing a better weld.
The processes used in gas shielded arc welding are knownas "TIG" (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding
If filler wire is used, it is added to the weld pool separately.

EQUIPMENT AND OPERATION
Gas tungsten arc welding may be accomplished with relatively simple
equipment, or it may require some highly sophisticated components.
Choice of equipment depends upon the type of metal being joined, theposition of the weld being made, and the quality of the weld metal necessary
for the application.
The basic equipment consists of the following:
• Constant current type power source
• High frequency unit ( HF unit)
• Electrode holder (torch)
• Shielding gas
• Tungsten electrode• Filler wire
• Water supply when necessary
• Ground cable
• Protective equipment
7/30/2019 Welding Types Procedures Parameters
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/welding-types-procedures-parameters 42/156
POWER SOURCE
Both AC and DC power sources are used in gas tungsten arc welding.
They are the constant current type with a drooping volt-ampere curve.
This type of power source produces very slight changes in the arc current when the arc length (voltage) is varied.
The choice between an AC or DC welder depends on the type and thicknessof the metal to be welded.
Distinct differences exist between AC and DC arc characteristics, and if DCis chosen, the polarity also becomes an important factor.
In GTAW where no flux coating exists, heat distribution between theelectrode and the work is controlled solely by the polarity.
7/30/2019 Welding Types Procedures Parameters
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/welding-types-procedures-parameters 43/156
HIGH FREQUENCY UNIT (HF)
HF unit is required in GTAW process to initiatearc between electrode and work piece without touching the electrode.
This eliminates contamination of tungstenelectrode and weld deposit
High frequency voltage at low current issuperimposed on the welding current to producearc.
HF unit is switched off after initiation of arc in
DC welding. HF unit is continued after initiation of arc in AC
welding.

TUNGSTEN ELECTRODES
Electrodes for gas tungsten arc welding are available in diameters from.010" to 1/4" in diameter and standard lengths range from 3" to 24".
The shape of the tip of the electrode is an important factor in gas tungstenarc welding.
When welding with DCEN, the tip must be ground to a point.
The included angle at which the tip is ground varies with the application, the electrode diameter, and the welding current.
Narrow joints require a relatively small included angle.
Properly ground electrodes will assure easy arc starting, good arc stability,and proper bead width.
When welding with AC, grinding the electrode tip is not necessary.

FILLER METALS/ELECTRODES
The material that you add to fill space during the weldingprocess is known as the filler metal, or material.
Two types of filler metals commonly used in welding are welding rods and welding electrodes.
The term welding rod refers to a form of filler metal that does not conduct an electric currentduring the welding process.
The only purpose of a welding rod is to supply filler metal to the joint.
In electric-arc welding, the term electrode refers to the component that conducts the current from the electrode holder to the metal being welded.
Electrodes are classified into two groups: consumable and non-consumable.
Consumable electrodes not only provide a path for the current but they also supply filler metal to the joint.
An example is the electrode used in shielded metal-arc welding.
Non-consumable electrodes are only used as a conductor for the electrical current, such asin gas tungsten arc welding.
The filler metal for as tun sten arc weldin is a hand fed consumable weldin rod.

The edges of the metal to be welded (base metal) are oftenprepared for welding by cutting, machining, or grinding.
This preparation is done to ensure that the base metal is welded through its entire thickness.
Edge preparation is also done on thick metal to open up the joint area. This provides a space large enough to permit welding at the bottom of the joint.
EDGE PREPARATION

JOINT DESIGN & PREPARATION
Work piece thickness: For thin materials, low heat input andlesser penetration is required. Thick material requires highheat input and deeper penetration.
Depth-width ratio: Large depth-width ratio may cause crackingduring solidification if volume of deposited metal is large.
Cleanliness of base metal is very important.
Preheating reduces residual stresses, drives off moisture,reduces quench hardening and gives gases and slag (if any)more time to reach the surface of the weld before solidificationoccurs.

The of a joint is that portion of the joint where the metalsare closest to each other.
A is an opening or space provided between the edges
of the metal parts to be welded. The is that surface of a metal part included in the
groove
The is the portion of the prepared edge of a part tobe joined by a groove weld that has not been grooved.
The is basically a root face of zero width, The is the angle formed between the prepared edge
of a member and a plane perpendicular to the surface of themember.
The is the total angle of the groove between the
parts to be joined. The is the radius used to form the shape of a J-
or U-groove weld joint. It is used only forspecial groove joint designs.
As a general rule, gas welding requires a larger groove
angle than manual metal-arc welding.
The refers to the separation between the parts to be joined at the root of the joint.

It is sometimes called the “root gap.”
To determine the bevel angle, groove angle, and root opening for a joint, you must consider the thickness of the weld
material, the type of joint to be made, and the welding process to be used.
Having an adequate root opening is essential for rootpenetration.
refers to the depth that a weld extends into
the root of the joint. refers to the minimum depth that a groove
(or a flange) weld extends from its face into a joint, exclusiveof weld reinforcement.
Weld reinforcement is a term used to describe weld metal in
excess of the metal necessary to fill a joint. The root opening is usually governed by the diameter or the
thickness filler material.This, in turn, depends on theof the base metal and the welding position.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/welding-types-procedures-parameters 99/156
High thermal conductivity of base metal requires morepre-heat and greater heat input.
High coefficient of thermal expansion will affect the
fit-up, required allowance for distortion and shrinkageand the amount of residual stress produced.
If the difference between solidus and liquidus temperature is high there are more chances of cracking during solidification.
Base metals having high hardness and low yieldstrengths are more difficult to join.

7/30/2019 Welding Types Procedures Parameters
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/welding-types-procedures-parameters 105/156
Bending of the arc away from the intended path due tounbalance in magnetic field is called Arc blow.
Arc blow causes excessive weld spatter and weld defects.
Arc blow occurs at end of joints, corners , complex structuresand near ground clamp locations.
Arc blow is mainly caused in magnetic materials & DC currentbecause the induced magnetic fields are in one direction.
In AC current, arc blow does not occur because of creation anddestruction of magnetic field during each current cycle.
Forward arc blow and backward arc blow depending on
direction of welding. Methods to avoid arc blow include use of AC current, placement
of ground connection as far as possible from the joint to be welded, using shortest possible arc , reduce welding current.

This involves the type of metal, the thickness of the metal, the
position of welding, etc. This also leads into the question of filler metal to be used.
This involves matching base metal composition, matching thebase metal properties, particularly strength, and providing
weld metal that will withstand the service involved.
In surfacing, the surface characteristics desired for the finished job depend entirely on the service to which the surface will be exposed.
When wear is involved, surfaces can be rebuilt many times without reducing the strength of the part and the service life
will be greatly extended. The repair procedure should be very similar to a procedure
developed for welding a critical part. It should include theprocess and filler metal and the technique to be used inmaking welds.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/welding-types-procedures-parameters 150/156
Many welding and cuttingoperations require the use of compressed gases.
To understand these hazards, wemust understand that compressed
gases are stores of potentialenergy.
It takes energy to compress andconfine the gas. That energy isstored until purposely released toperform useful work or until
accidentally released by container failure or other causes.
Compressed Gases

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/welding-types-procedures-parameters 151/156
Some compressed gases,acetylene for example, have high
flammability characteristics.
Flammable compressed gases, therefore, have additional stored
energy besides simplecompression-release energy.
Other compressed gases, such asnitrogen, have simple asphyxiatingproperties. Some compressedgases, such as oxygen, can
augment or compound firehazards.
Compressed Gases

Compressed gases are regulated by
many standards. Two primary standards are:
29 CFR 1910 Subpart Q – Welding,Cutting, and Brazing – covers thehandling, storage, and use of compressed gases, such as oxygen-
fuel gas, when they are consumed in the welding process.
29 CFR 1910 Subpart H – Hazardous Materials, 1910.101 -1910.105 – covers the generalrequirements for the handling,storage, and use of compressed
gases other than those consumed in the welding process
General Requirements

In addition to the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) regulations found inSubparts Q and H of 29 CFR 1910
there are other applicableregulations and information.
These include the Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations,and the Compressed Gas
Association (CGA) pamphlets.
These sources provide therequirements for the generalcategory of compressed gases andcertain specific compressedgases.
