ARC WELDING(TEE JOINT)

LEARNING OUT COMES

At the end of this lab work, student able to:

Understand of arc welding in joining process such as make a T-joint.

Know the problem that occurs on the arc welding process.

Type of metal and electrode that are used in arc welding.

Know the angles that are used in arc welding process.

INTRODUCTION
The principle of arc welding is to attach a ground cable to the work piece .The
machine was set to the correct amperage base on the thickness of the material.fit the
electrode in the electrode holder and with the head shield down the strike the rod against
the work to start a flow of current .That procedure intense heat and light and your seam
together. Welding thicker work piece requires more heat in the form of higher amperage
from the machine.
TOOL AND EQUIPMENT
1) Ac/Dc or combination of Ac/Dc machine. 2) Chipping hammer

3)Glove.

4) Apron

5)Wire brush.

6) Head shield

7)Electrode holder.

8) Pieces of metal.

SAFETY AND HEALTH

1) Wear safety equipment such as head shield, glove and apron before start welding.
2) Dont watch the ultraviolet rays spatters when welding using eye without a head
Shield.
3) Carry Out at a comfortable area and where the is good welding will be done away
from the flammable materials.
4) Do not disturbed other student that are still work.
THEORY
The basic principal of arc welding involves heating or melting of the base metal
using electric arc. The electric arc is formed when there is a voltage difference between
the metal coating at the end of the electrode and the surface of the metal. The Arc will
produce enough to the melt the base metal and the end of the electrode to form a pool of
molten metal. In this semester, T-joint is commonly found when joining two plates where
one plate is perpendicular to other. The electrode should be at 45 between two parts. So
that, that equal heat and filler metal is directed onto both process.

PROCEDURE
1. Clean the surface of the metal plate with wire brush before welding. Place as close to
the weld as possible to the metal plate
2. Before striking an arc, insert an electrode to the electrode holder.
3. Adjust the electric current according to the electrode size I use 100V.Arc length
between the plate n electrode is 1/16 and 3/32 in diameter --- 1/16 in (1.6 mm).
4. Weld along the base from left to right.
5. Positioning electrode holder hold the electrode nearly perpendicular to the work,.
although tilting it ahead
RESULT

CONLUSION

At the end of this experiment:

There are problem occurs on the arc welding process.

To get a best result of this arc welding process, student must know the
angle that are used, concentration, and the movement of the electrode and
speed of moving the electrode.

The thickness of the metal and type of the electrode are used are the factor
in arc welding process.

Factor that affect result of that arc welding.

OXYACETYLENE CUTTING
THEORY
Oxyacetylene cutting process is use to cut metal. The melting of metal during pre heated
is importing during the cutting, but the most important is the oxidation metal process
during metal heated until it color become red, release pour oxygen on it, this chemical
reacting called oxidation process.
TOOL AND EQUIPMENT

SAFETY AND HEALTH

1) Wear safety equipment such as head shield, glove and apron before start welding.
2) Dont watch the ultraviolet rays spatters when welding using eye without a head
Shield.
3) Carry Out at a comfortable area and where the is good welding will be done away
from the flammable materials.
4) Do not disturbed other student that are still work.

OXYACETYLENE CUTTING PROCEDURE

1. Make sure work area is clean and tidy.
2. Prepare the metal that you want to cut on the table.
3. Determine the size the cutting torch that suitable with the thickness of the metal.
4. Make a line on the surface the metal with chock, Scriber at the place that you
want to cut.
5. Spark the torch and start the cutting at 90 on the base metal.
6. Start the cutting from the corner. Make pre-heated on the metal until it like red.
After that released the pour oxygen to cut the metal.
OXYACETYLENE CUTTING RESULT

BRAZING
THEORY
Brazing is a process that didnt melt the metal. Brazing is joined two metal that different
type, where the metal heated high than 800F (427C).Filler rod is added on the surface of
metal to make the easy to added filler rod put some flux on it tip.
TOOL AND EQUIPMENT
1) Tourch

2) Filler Rod

3)Welding Protection Glass

4) Wire brush

5)Oxy-acetylene Cylinder Equipment

6)Fluxes

SAFETY AND HEALTH

1) Wear safety equipment such as head shield, glove and apron before start welding.
2) Dont watch the ultraviolet rays spatters when welding using eye without a head
Shield.
3) Carry Out at a comfortable area and where the is good welding will be done away
from the flammable materials.
4) Do not disturbed other student that are still work.

BRAZING PROCEDURE
1. Clean the metal from grease, oil or anything that useless on the surface of metal.
2. Joint two of metal with pengapit to make it closes.
3. Choose the flux that suitable for joining the metal.
4. Put some flux o the surface of metal.
5. Heats the metal on braze temperature, after that add the filler rod on the butt
surface of two metal.
6. Stop heat the metal when braze alloy close the surface joined. Do not make over
heated because it can make the ionic bond of the metal become weak.

7. Lastly, brush the metal to see it joint.

BRAZING RESULT
