Resistance Welding
Types of Arc Welding
no shielding gas
- using flux core in the tubular consumable
electrode
uses a shielding gas
- gas that must be supplied by an external
supply. This is known informally as "dual shield"
welding.
Uses of FCAW
Mild and low alloy steels
Stainless steels
Some high nickel alloys
Some wear facing/surfacing
alloys
Advantages of FCAW
FCAW may be an "all-position" process with the right filler
metals (the consumable electrode)
No shielding gas needed making it suitable for outdoor
welding and/or windy conditions
A high-deposition rate process (speed at which the filler
metal is applied) in the 1G/1F/2F
Some "high-speed" (e.g., automotive applications)
Less pre cleaning of metal required
Metallurgical benefits from the flux such as the weld metal
being protected initially from external factors until the flux
is chipped away
Disadvantages of FCAW
Melted Contact Tip happens when the electrode actually
contacts the base metal, thereby fusing the two metals.
Irregular wire feed typically a mechanical problem
Porosity the gases (specifically those from the flux-core)
dont escape the welded area before the metal hardens,
leaving holes in the welded metal
More costly filler material/wire as compared to GMAW
Less suitable for applications that require painting, such as
automotive body works.
Cannot be used in a rugged environment limited to shop
use only.

GAS WELDING
GMAW or MIG
is an electric arc welding process which
joins metals by heating them with an arc
established between a continuous filler
metal (consumable) electrode and the work.
is a group of welding
processes which join metals
by heating with a fuel gas
flame or flares with or without
the application of pressure
and with or without the use of
filler metal.
Types of Oxy-fuel Gas
Welding
Oxy-Acetylene or Oxygen- Acetylene
Gas Welding
Oxy-Hydrogen or Oxygen- Hydrogen
Gas Welding
Methylacetone-Propadiene Gas
Welding
Pressure Gas Welding.
Advantages of Oxy-fuel
Gas Welding
Easy to use both welding and cutting
Gas Weldinmoo
Expensive gas

Resistance Welding
is a process in which the fusing temperature is generated
at the joint by the resistance to the flow of an electrical
current.
SPOT WELDING
SEAM WELDING
SPOT WELDING
A charge of electricity is
sent from one
electrode through the
material to the other
electrode.
SEAM Welding
is
like spot welding
except that the
spots overlap each
other, making a
continuous weld
seam.
