     Arc Welding(Metal Arc)
     Merits & Limitations of Welding
    Process
     Application
     Conclusion
    Welding:
     The Welding is a process of joining two or
    more, similar or dissimilar metals by heating
    them to a suitable temperature , with or
    without the application of pressure, filler
    materials and flux.
     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 Temperature welding
    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 ,hydrogen
    or propene .
    Types:
    • Oxy- Acetylene
    • Air-Acetylene
    • Oxy-Hydrogen
    • Oxy-Fuel
    Oxy-Acetylene Welding:
    When a combination of
    Oxygen and acetylene is
    used in correct
    proportions to produce
    an 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 return valve
    Advantages:
     Portable and most versatile process.
     Better control over the temperature.
     Suitable to weld dissimilar matter.
     Low cost & maintenance.
    Disadvantages:
     Not suitable for heavy section.
     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 electric arc
    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
     Most efficient way to Disadvantages
    join metals  Manually applied,
     therefore high labor
    Lowest-cost joining
    cost.
    method
     Need high energy
     Affords lighter weight
    causing danger
    through better
    utilization of materials  Not convenient
     for disassembly.
    Joins all
    commercial metals  Defects are hard to
     detect at joints.
    Provides design
    flexibility
    Applications:
    It is used in the manufacture of
    automobile bodies.
     Aircraft Frames
     Railway Wagons
     Machine Frames
    Structural works, tanks, furniture,
    boilers, general repair work and ship
    building etc.
    Conclusion:
    In these we learn about most popular
    welding type uses in industries.
     A good weld is always strong.
     General welding equipment is not very costly.
     Portable welding equipment are available.
     A large number of metal and alloy both similar
    and dissimilar can be join by welding.
     Welding permits considerable freedom in
    design.
