Welding is used for making permanent joints. TYPES OF WELDING : Plastic Welding or Pressure Welding: The piece of metal to be joined are heated to a plastic state and forced together by external pressure (Ex) -Resistance welding Fusion Welding or Non-Pressure Welding: The material at the joint is heated to a molten state and allowed to solidify (Ex)- Gas welding, Arc welding CLASSIFICATION OF WELDING PROCESSES: Gas welding(Oxy- Acetylene) Arc welding(Metal Arc) Resistance welding Solid state welding Thermo-chemical welding Low Temperaturewelding Gas Welding: Gas Welding is a fusion welding process, in which the heat for welding is obtained by the combustion of oxygen and fuel the gas may be acetylene ,hydrogenor propene . Types: • Oxy- Acetylene • Air-Acetylene • Oxy-Hydrogen • Oxy-Fuel Oxy-Acetylene Welding: When a combinationof Oxygen and acetylene is used in correct proportions to producean Intense gas flame, the process is known as oxy-acetylene welding. Gas Welding Equipment : 1. Gas Cylinders Pressure- Oxygen – 125 kg/cm2 Acetylene – 16 kg/cm2 2. Regulators • Working pressure of oxygen 1 kg/cm2 • Working pressure of acetylene 0.15 kg/cm2 • Working pressure varies depends upon the thickness of the work pieces welded. 3. Pressure Gauges 4. Hoses 5. Welding torch 6. Check valve 7. Non returnvalve Advantages: Portable and most versatileprocess. Better control over thetemperature. Suitable to weld dissimilar matter. Low cost & maintenance. Disadvantages: Not suitable for heavysection. Less working temperature of gas flame. Slow rate of heating. Arc Welding: “Arc welding is a fusion welding process in which the heat required to fuse the metal is obtain from the electric arc between the base metal and an electrode. Types: 1. Metal Arc Welding 2. Submerged Arc Welding 3. Tungsten Inert Gas Welding 4. Metal Inert Gas Welding Equipment: A welding generator (D.C.) or Transformer(A.C.) Two cables- one for work and one for electrode Electrode holder Electrode Protective shield Gloves Wire brush Chipping hammer Goggles Metal Arc Welding : Uses an electricarc to coalesce metals
Arc welding is the most
common method of welding metals
Electricity travels from
electrode to base metal to ground Advantages and Disadvantages of Arc Welding Advantages Disadvantages Most efficient way tojoin Manually applied, metals therefore high labor cost. Lowest-cost joining Need high energy causing method danger Affords lighter weight Not convenient for through better utilization disassembly. of materials Defects are hard todetect Joins all commercial at joints. metals Provides design flexibility Applications: It is used in the manufacture ofautomobile bodies. Aircraft Frames Railway Wagons Machine Frames Structural works, tanks, furniture, boilers, general repair work and ship buildingetc. Conclusion: In these we learn about most popular welding type uses in industries. A good weld is alwaysstrong. General welding equipment is not very costly. Portable welding equipment areavailable. A large number of metal and alloy both similarand dissimilar can be join bywelding. Welding permits considerable freedom in design.
