WELDING

Welding
• Is fabrication process to make high strength joint between two
or more parts by heating to their melting temperature, with or
without the application of pressure and with or without the use
of filler metal. The filler metal has a melting point
approximately same as the base metal.

History of Welding
• By us asking ‘What is welding?’ we are often
not aware of the fact that a lot of work and
technological advances have made welding
what it is today. Early examples of welding have
been discovered which date back to thousands
of years ago. These were known as forge
welding which simply involved the heating of
two metal surfaces and hammering them
together. It was only during the 19th Century that
welding became what we know it as today.
When asking ‘What is welding?’ very few
people realize that forge welding was done
without the use of electricity. While this welding
was very labor intensive, the industrial
revolution gave rise to the better, improved
methods of welding that we know today.

Classification of Welding
• There are about 35 different welding and brazing process and several soldering methods, in use by the
industry today. There are various ways of classifying the welding for example, they may be classified on the
basis of source of heat(flames ,arc etc.)

Advantages of welding
 welding is permanent process.
Efficiency of joint 100%.
Welding produce equal strength as parent method
Portable welding equipment is available.
A lot of similar and dissimilar metal can be joint by welding.
Welding joint as stronger as base metal.
Welding joint are lighter in weight

Disadvantages of welding
• Edge preparation is required
before welding.
• Ultraviolet and inferred rays
produce during welding.
• Thermal stresses are produced
in the weld material.
• Heat treatment process is
required to remove these
stress.
• Skill operator is need to
operate the welding machine.
• HAZ produce.

Heat affected zone (HAZ)


• The heat-affected zone (HAZ) is within the base metal
itself. It has a microstructure different from that of the
base metal prior to welding, because it has been
temporarily subjected to elevated temperatures during
welding. The portions of the base metal that are far
enough away from the heat source do not undergo any
microstructural changes during welding because of the
far lower temperature to which they are subjected.
8

Properties of heat affected zone


• The properties and microstructure of the HAZ depend on
• (a) the rate of heat input and cooling.
• (b) the temperature to which this zone was raised.
• (c )original grain size. grains that are away from the weld metal
will recrystallize into fine, equiaxed grains. On the other hand,
grains close to the weld metal have been subjected to elevated
temperatures for a longer time. Consequently, the grains will
grow in size (grain growth), and this region will be softer and
have lower strength. Such a joint will be weakest at its HAZ.

Types of connection

Butt and Fillet joint


• Butt welds: originate in the joint gap of connected parts and are
usually used as load-bearing, force welds. In order to achieve
perfect workmanship of the welds, it is usually necessary to
perform modification of the contact surfaces of the connected
parts.
14

Butt and Fillet joint


• Fillet welds are located along the wedge-shaped edge of connected parts and their
basic cross-section includes an isosceles rectangular triangle. They are usually used
for load-bearing, force welds in T-shape connections, cross-butt connections, angle
connections and for lap joints. The welded parts do not need shape adjustment. For
statically loaded connections, usually a flat weld is used, while a concave weld is
more appropriate for dynamically loaded connections, as it has lower notch effects.
