WELDING OPERATION

DR. ANGEL T. SABUSAP


WELDING
▪ Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that
joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by
causing coalescence.
▪ This is often done by melting the workpieces and
adding a filler material to form a pool of molten
material (the weld pool) that cools to become a
strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in
conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the
weld.
▪ This is in contrast with soldering and brazing, which
involve melting a lower-melting-point material
between the workpieces to form a bond between
them, without melting the work pieces.
How to weld steel plates?

1. The two steel plates are ‘tacked’ together.


This involves welding in two or three
places, to hold the plates together.
2. The entire joint is
welded, slowly and
accurately. The flame is
focus at one end of the
joint, forming a small
pool of molten steel.
The welding rod / filler
rod is introduced to the
flame, as the pool is
slowly ‘pushed’ down
the entire length of the
joint.
3. The joint is allowed
to cool slowly.
When cool, the
‘slag’, which forms
during the welding
process, is tapped
away using a welding
hammer. The joint
can now be
inspected for
accuracy and
strength.
Technique how to weld
Torch position
- This refers to the manner in which the
torch is held with respect to the weld joint.
- The position is usually described from two
directions – the angle relative to the length
of the weld and the angle relative to the
plates
 Backhand method
- the torch is positioned
so that the wire is
feeding opposite to the
direction of arc travel.
- Filler metal is being fed
into the weld metal
previously deposited.
• Forehand method
- the torch is angled so that the
electrode wire is fed in the
same direction as arc travel.
- Now the filler metal is being
deposited, for the most part,
directly on the work piece.
- It should be noted that a
change in welding direction is
not required to facilitate
forehand or backhand welding,
only a reversal in the
longitudinal torch positioning.
- Generally, operators find that
the backhand technique yields
a more stable arc and less
spatter on the workpiece.
