WELDING
1 of 73
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Welding Defined
It is a metallurgical process of joining two metal pieces
together to produce essentially a single piece of metal by
heating them to suitable temperatures with or without the
application of pressure and with or without the use of filler
material.

MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Bare electrodes:
These are cheaper but the welds produced through these are
of poor quality and their use requires very high degree of skill
on the part of welder if satisfactory results are to be expected.
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Coated electrodes:
This consists of a bare metallic wire provided with a
coating on the outside surface.
Mild steel is the most commonly used material for core
wire.
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Consumable electrode:
It is consumed during welding process.
It melts in to weld zone, thus electrode must be moved
continuously towards the work piece to maintain constant
arc length.
It will act as a filler metal.
It can be made of steel, cast iron, copper, brass, bronze,
etc.

Tungsten Inert Gas welding: (TIG)/ (GTAW)
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
This arc welding process uses the intense heat of an
electric arc between a non-consumable tungsten electrode
and the material to be welded.
The shielding is obtained from the inert gas such as
helium or argon or a mixture of two.
Filler metal may or may not be used. When filler metal rod
is used, it is usually fed manually into the weld pool.
Electrodes used in this process are made of tungsten or
tungsten alloys.
The tungsten electrode is used only to generate an arc.
The arc doesnt melt the tungsten, which has a melting
point of over 3300C .

Advantages:
No flux is required, hence no special cleaning is
required.
It produces high quality welds in nonferrous metals.
TIG weld joints are stronger, more ductile, more
corrosion resistance.
Dissimilar metals can be welded.
