1. INTRODUCTION
The shop has partitioned into many section according to their working functions.
Such as: Fabrication work
pipe welding
Brazing
Metal cutting.
Main idea for being in the Metal workshop was to get some practical knowledge of arc welding and gas cutting.
At the same time I was able to follow some other interesting jobs also.
SHIELDING GASES
Argon
Argon + Hydrogen
Argon/Helium
WELDING ELECTRODES
There are many different types of welding rods for different type of purposes.
WELDING SPECIFICATION
The coding system for steel electrodes is given below.
AWS E 6 0 1 3
A B CD
AWS (American Welding Society)
A Prefix E marks that it is an arc-welding electrode
B - The First two or three digits give the tensile strength of
Weld in thousand pounds per square inch.
C Digit Before the final gives the welding position
(1= all, 2= flat, horizontal 3= flat only)
D Final digit gives the composition of flux coating
WELDING POSITION
There are six major types of welding positions.
1. Flat
1G
2. Horizontal 2G
3.
Vertical
3G
4. Overhead 4G

PUG MACHINE
This machine, also use to cut the metal plate. First we had to connect the pug machine with the
c2H2 and O2 supply. We have to choose a correct nozzle according to the metal thickness. Then we
clean the nozzle by using nozzle cleaning tool. (The nozzle angle varies -60 to +60 degrees.)
There were two O2 lines and one C2H2 line. One O2 line give pressurize air for cutting purpose.
Then we mark the line which wants to cut on the plate. Then we lighted the nozzle and place it to
correct position where the metal should cut.
Then we pressurize the flame and when it was started to cut, we switch on a button under the machine
to run the machine automatically.
After the cutting stopped we stop the pug machine and off C2H2 then O2.
This machine can cut circles and straight lines in the plate.
When cutting the straight lines, it running through the pug cutter track as shown in figure.
for cutting operation. First we had to switch on the machine. For it we had to put the button on (1)
position and (0) for off position.
After that we had to enter the data to the machine.
So we had to enter,
When we gave the thickness and the type of the metal, automatically machine adjusted the angle of the
cutting blade.
As an example:- blade angle was 2.6 for Fe 6mm thickness plate.

After the data was entered, we pressed the green button. Then the back gauge moving out ward from
the machine.
Before cutting was started, the jacks were lowered and tight the plate and after that the cutting started
when we pressed the foot button by foot.
The distance between cutting space and barrier can vary 10mm - 1080mm.
