Welding

Details
Welding
Process of bonding metal pieces together
Work or metal pieces are melted along a
common edge or surface and their molten
metal allowed to form a puddle or pool
liquid metal
The pieces are fused when the puddle
solidifies
Welding Process
3 major
Gas welding
Electric arc welding
Resistance or spot welding
Gas Welding
Uses a flame of an extremely high
temperature that literally melts the metal
Also known as oxyacetylene
oxygen
acetylene

Electric Arc Welding
Commonly called Arc Welding
Heat of electric arc used to fuse or cut metal
Resistance (Spot) Welding
Metals held tightly
together under
pressure and
subjected to
electric current
through the point
of pressure
Electric current
causes metals to
heat up and fuse
together
Types of Joints
in Welding
1--BUTT
2--CORNER
3--TEE
4--LAP
5--EDGE
Commonly Used
Types of Welds
fillet
plug or slot
spot
seam
groove
square
V
Bevel

Weld All Around





Weld All Around would be used to to secure a
pipe column to a plate
Field Weld is welding done at the job site

Weld Finishes
A welded surface to be finished to a greater degree
than just the structural weld a straight line or a
convex arc is added to the weld symbol
Types of finished surface
M - machining
C - chipping
G - grinding
