HISTORY OF WELDING….., •Began when people found they could shape rocks by chipping them with, other rocks, •Copper probably first metal to be worked, Ductile (easily hammered, bent or drawn), In Egypt as early as 4000 B.C. and USA before 2000 B.C., •Welding began more than 3000 years ago, •Bronze developed between 3000 and 2000 B.C.
Page 4 :
•Iron became known to Europe about 1000 B.C., , •Working of metals followed one another in great ancient civilizations, Copper, bronze, silver, gold, and iron, •Chinese developed ability to make steel from wrought iron in 589 A.D., • Belgians responsible for progress with steel in Europe, • Japan manufactured steel by repeated welding and forging and, controlling amount of carbon by use of fluxes
Page 5 :
•Industrial Revolution in the middle of the eighteenth century brought, many improvements, •Working of dies and molds became commonplace by beginning of, nineteenth century

Welding is joining two pieces of metal by:, • Heating to temperature high enough to cause softening, or melting, • With or without application of pressure, , • With or without use of filler metal
Page 10 :
ELEMENTS OF WELDING PROCESS, • FILLER MATERIAL, Filler materials are used to fill the space between the welded joint., , Filler material is melted and added to the joint during the welding process., It adds strength to the joint.
Page 11 :
FLUXESis a cleaning agent used to avoid the contamination of welded joint, , by impurities like oxides, by oxygen combined with metal during welding., , Flux dissolve oxide, trapped gases and slag(impurities) from base metal.
Page 12 :
WELD POOL dime-sized workable portion of a weld where the base metal has, reached its melting point and is ready to be infused with filler material., , Weld pool is central to the success of the welding process., , Weld pool solidifies to become weld beed.

Terminology in welding, •Traverse rate : velocity of the welding source : m/s, •Heat Input : ratio of power to velocity : J/m, •Rate of heat input or heat intensity : W/m2, •Heat intensity distribution
Page 24 :
Arc Welding (AW), A fusion welding process in which coalescence of the metals is, achieved by the heat from an electric arc between an electrode and, the work, , Energy from the arc produces temperatures ~ 10,000 ͦ F (5500ᵒ C),, hot enough to melt any metal, Most AW processes add filler metal to increase volume and strength, of weld joint
Page 25 :
ELECTRIC ARC ?, An electric arc is a discharge of electric current across a gap in a, circuit, , It is sustained by an ionized column of gas (plasma) through which, the current flows, , To initiate the arc in AW, electrode is brought into contact with work, and then quickly separated from it by a short distance
Page 26 :
Two Basic Types of AW Electrodes, • Consumable, o consumed during welding process, o Source of filler metal in arc welding, , • Nonconsumable, o not consumed during welding process, o Filler metal must be added separately if it is added
Page 27 :
Arc Shielding, •At high temperatures in AW, metals are chemically reactive to, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen in air, Mechanical properties of joint can be degraded by these reactions, To protect operation, arc must be shielded from surrounding air in, AW processes, , •Arc shielding is accomplished by:, Shielding gases, e.g., argon, helium, CO2, Flux
Page 28 :
Flux, • A substance that prevents formation of oxides and other, contaminants in welding, or dissolves them and facilitates removal, , Provides protective atmosphere for welding, Stabilizes arc, Reduces spattering
Page 29 :
Various Flux Application Methods, • Pouring granular flux onto welding operation, • Stick electrode coated with flux material that melts during welding to, cover operation, • Tubular electrodes in which flux is contained in the core and released, as electrode is consumed
Page 30 :
Power Source in Arc Welding, Direct current (DC) vs. Alternating current (AC), • AC machines less expensive to purchase and operate, but generally, restricted to ferrous metals, • DC equipment can be used on all metals and is generally noted for, better arc control
Page 36 :
Consumable Electrode, AW Processes, , • Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), • Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), • Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), • Electrogas Welding, , • Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
Page 37 :
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Uses a consumable electrode consisting of a filler metal, rod coated with chemicals that provide flux and shielding, , Sometimes called "stick welding"
Page 39 :
Welding Stick in SMAW, • Composition of filler metal usually close to base metal, • Coating: powdered cellulose mixed with oxides and carbonates, and held, together by a silicate binder, , • Welding stick is clamped in electrode holder connected to power source, Disadvantages of stick welding:, Sticks must be periodically changed, High current levels may melt coating prematurely
Page 40 :
SMAW Applications, Used for steels, stainless steels, cast irons, and certain, nonferrous alloys, Not used or rarely used for aluminum and its alloys,, copper alloys, and titanium
Page 41 :
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or MIG, • Uses a consumable bare metal wire as electrode with shielding by, flooding arc with a gas, • Wire is fed continuously and automatically from a spool through the, welding gun, • Shielding gases include argon and helium for aluminum welding, and, CO2 for steel welding, • Bare electrode wire plus shielding gases eliminate slag on weld bead
Page 43 :
GMAW Advantages over SMAW, •, •, •, •, •, •, •, , Better arc time because of continuous wire electrode, Sticks must be periodically changed in SMAW, Better use of electrode filler metal than SMAW, End of stick cannot be used in SMAW, Higher deposition rates, Eliminates problem of slag removal, Can be readily automated
Page 44 :
Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), Adaptation of shielded metal arc welding, to overcome limitations of, stick electrodes - two versions, Self-shielded FCAW - core includes compounds that produce, shielding gases, Gas-shielded FCAW - uses externally applied shielding gases, , Electrode is a continuous consumable tubing (in coils) containing flux, and other ingredients (e.g., alloying elements) in its core
Page 45 :
Flux-Cored Arc Welding, Presence or absence of externally supplied shielding gas distinguishes:, (1) self-shielded - core provides ingredients for shielding,, (2) gas-shielded - uses external shielding gases
Page 47 :
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), • Uses a continuous, consumable bare wire electrode, with arc shielding, by a cover of granular flux, , • Electrode wire is fed automatically from a coil, • Flux introduced into joint slightly ahead of arc by gravity from a hopper, • Completely submerges operation, preventing sparks, spatter, and, radiation

SAW
Page 50 :
SAW Applications, •, •, •, •, •, , Steel fabrication of structural shapes (e.g., I-beams), Seams for large diameter pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels, Welded components for heavy machinery, Most steels (except hi C steel), Not good for nonferrous metals
Page 51 :
ELECTROSLAG WELDING, , This initial charge heats a layer of loose flux that becomes molten and, extinguishes the arc.
Page 53 :
TIG WELDING or GTAW, , Typical flow rate of shielding inert gas may vary from 5-50 liters/min.
Page 58 :
PROPERTIES OF ELECTRODES, SHIELDING GAS, AND FLUX, , • Consumable electrodes materials are selected such that finished weld, metal should have similar mechanical properties that of base metal, with no defects,, Consumable Electrodes contains de-oxidising metals (Si, Mn, Ti,, Al) and de-nitriding metals (zirconium) in small percentages to, prevent entrapment of oxygen and nitrogen in the weld, reducing the, porosity and giving continuous weld., • Shielding gas is necessary to protect weld area from atmospheric, gases, thereby reducing porosity and cracking., EG. argon, helium, carbon dioxide etc, • Flux when melted by the arc, mixes with the impurities in the weld, pool and forms slag and covers the weld pool from contamination., E.G. lime, silica, manganese dioxide, calcium flouride etc, flux is either coated on the electrode surface, or inside the, electrode, or provided additionally(non-consumable electrodes).

TYPES OF FLAMES
Page 78 :
WELD DEFECTS, , • WELD SPATTER-, , Caused by a long arc length, very high current, or a phenomenon called, arc blow (electric arc being deflected away from the weld pool by, magnetic forces)., Damages appearance of the weld and increases cleaning cost., , • POROSITYCaused due to arc blow, • POOR FUSION-, , Caused by low current, contaminated joint surface, improper electrode, • SHALLOW PENETRATION –, Caused by decreased melting of electrodes. This can be prevented by, decreasing weld speed, increasing the current , using smaller electrodes, • CRACKINGHigh carbon content, high allow content, high sulphur content and, Excessive restraining of base metal which causes internal stress inside, the weld, which leads to cracking when cools down or contracts.
