TWO CATEGORIES OF WELDING PROCESSES 
• Fusion welding ‐ coalescence is accomplished by melting the two parts to be
joined, in some cases adding filler metal to the joint
• Examples: oxyfuel gas welding, arc welding, resistance spot welding,
• Solid state welding ‐ heat and/or pressure are used to achieve coalescence, but
no melting of base metals occurs and no filler metal is added
• Examples: forge welding, diffusion welding, friction welding

Oxyfuel –gas Welding

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 5


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

INTRODUCTION
• Oxyfuel welding is a welding process
where the heat for fusion is supplied by a
torch using oxygen and a fuel gas.

• Several different fuel gasses can be used.

ACETYLENE (C2H2) 
• Most popular fuel among OFW group because it is capable of higher temperatures than 
any other 
• Up to 3480°C (6300°F)  
• Two stage reaction of acetylene and oxygen:
• First stage reaction (inner cone of flame) 
C2H2 + O2 → 2CO + H2 + heat
• Second stage reaction (outer envelope)
2CO + H2 + 1.5O2 → 2CO2 + H2O + heat

OXYACETYLENE TORCH ‐ OVERVIEW
Š The oxyfuel torch is the handle for holding and 
controlling the system.
Š It the controls the flow rate of the gasses and delivers 
them to the welding tip, or cutting attachment.

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 11


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

SAFETY ISSUE IN OAW
• Together, acetylene and oxygen are highly flammable
• C2H2 is colorless and odorless
• It is therefore processed to have characteristic garlic odor
• C2H2 is physically unstable at pressures much above 15 lb/in2 (about 1 atm) 
• Storage cylinders are packed with porous filler material saturated with 
acetone (CH3COCH3)
• Acetone dissolves about 25 times its own volume of acetylene
• Different screw threads are standard on C2H2 and O2 cylinders and hoses to 
avoid accidental connection of wrong gases 

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 12

THERMIT WELDING (TW)


FW process in which heat for coalescence is produced by
superheated molten metal from the chemical reaction
of thermite
• Thermite = mixture of Al and Fe3O4 fine powders that
produce an exothermic reaction when ignited
• Also used for incendiary bombs
• Filler metal obtained from liquid metal
• Process used for joining, but has more in common with
casting than welding

(1) Thermit ignited; 


(2) crucible tapped, superheated metal flows 
into mold
(3) metal solidifies to produce weld joint

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 16


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

TW  APPLICATIONS
• Joining of railroad rails
• Repair of cracks in large steel castings and forgings
• Weld surface is often smooth enough that no finishing 
is required

ARC WELDING (AW)

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 18


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

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
• Electric energy from the arc produces temperatures ~ 10,000 F (5500 C), hot 
enough to melt any metal
• Most AW processes add filler metal to increase volume and strength of weld 
joint 

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 19


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

WHAT IS AN 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

Arc Welding
PROCESS 
A pool of molten metal is formed near electrode tip, and as electrode is 
moved along joint, molten weld pool solidifies in its wake

MANUAL ARC WELDING AND ARC TIME
• Problems with manual welding:
• Weld joint quality
• Productivity 
• Arc Time = (time arc is on) divided by (hours worked)
• Also called “arc‐on time”
• Manual welding arc time = 20%
• Machine welding arc time ~ 50%

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 23


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

TWO BASIC TYPES OF AW ELECTRODES

• Consumable – consumed during welding process


• Source of filler metal in arc welding

• Nonconsumable – not consumed during welding process


• Filler metal must be added separately if it is added

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 24


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

CONSUMABLE ELECTRODES
• Forms of consumable electrodes
• Welding rods (a.k.a. sticks) are 9 to 18 inches and 3/8 inch or
less in diameter and must be changed frequently
• Weld wire can be continuously fed from spools with long
lengths of wire, avoiding frequent interruptions
• In both rod and wire forms, electrode is consumed by the arc and
added to weld joint as filler metal

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 25


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

NONCONSUMABLE ELECTRODES
• Made of tungsten which resists melting
• Gradually depleted during welding (vaporization is
principal mechanism)
• Any filler metal must be supplied by a separate wire fed
into weld pool

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 26


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

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

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 27


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

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

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 28


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

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

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 29


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

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

shielding gases
• Electrode is a continuous consumable tubing (in coils)  Presence or absence of externally supplied 
containing flux and other ingredients (e.g.,  alloying  shielding gas distinguishes:
elements) in its core   (1) self‐shielded ‐ core provides ingredients 
for shielding, (2) gas‐shielded ‐ uses 
external shielding gases

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

EBW  VACUUM  CHAMBER
When first developed, EBW had to be carried out in a 
vacuum chamber to minimize disruption of electron beam 
by air molecules 
• Serious inconvenience in production
• Pumpdown time can take as long as an hour 
Three  Vacuum  Levels  in  EBW
1. High‐vacuum welding – welding in same vacuum 
chamber as beam generation to produce highest quality 
weld
2. Medium‐vacuum welding – welding in separate 
chamber but partial vacuum reduces pump‐down time
3. Non‐vacuum welding – welding done at or near 
atmospheric pressure, with work positioned close to 
electron beam generator ‐ requires vacuum divider to 
separate work from beam generator

Welding Discontinuities

POROSITY
• Porosity is the entrapment of small 
volumes of gas in solidifying weld 
metal
• Prevention
• Drying consumables
• Cleaning, degreasing material being 
welded
• Electrode or filler metals with higher 
level of deoxidants
• Sealing air leaks, reducing excess 
shielding gas flow

SLAG INCLUSIONS
• Slag inclusions are irregularly shaped, 
not spherical like porosity
• Prevention
• Position work and/or change 
electrode/flux to increase slag control
• Better slag removal between passes
• Dress weld surface smooth if it is likely to 
cause slag traps
• Remove heavy mill scale on plate

Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

LACK OF FUSION
• Lack of fusion is caused by 
incorrect welding conditions
• Prevention
• Procedure for complete fusion should 
be verified by testing
• Increased energy input
• Correct electrode angle and work 
position

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 64


Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

INCOMPLETE ROOT PENETRATION
• Incomplete root penetration can be 
caused by
• Excessively thick root face, insufficient root 
gap
• Incorrect welding conditions
• Misalignment of second weld
• Prevention
• Improved joint preparation
• Test weld verifications for correct 
parameters
• Reassessment of back gouging

OVERLAP
• Overlap is an imperfection at the 
weld toe or root caused by metal 
flowing onto the surface of the base 
metal without fusing to it
• Prevention
• Adjust electrode manipulation to 
ensure fusion of base metal
• Limit size of fillet to 9‐mm leg length

Welding Discontinuities

Undercut
• Undercut is an irregular groove at the weld toe in the 
parent metal or previous pass caused by
• excessive weaving
• melting of top edge of fillet weld with high current
• Prevention
• Weld in flat position
• Change shielding gas to one which produces better wetting
• Terminate welds so they don’t finish at a free edge

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 67
Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

EXCESSIVE PENETRATION
• Excessive penetration is caused by 
• Incorrect assembly or preparation
• Edge preparation too thin to support 
weld underbead
• Excessive root gap
• Energy input too high
• Lack of operator skill
• Prevention
• Control of preparation, backing bars

A.P. Dr. Shahrul Kamaruddin Jan 2018 Page 68
Advance Manufacturing Technology MDB 4213

ROOT CONCAVITY
• Root concavity is caused by 
• Excessively thick root face
• Insufficient arc energy for penetration
• Excessive backing gas pressure
• Prevention
• Reduce root face thickness, control backing 
gas pressure
• Establish a procedure by test welding

SPATTER
• Spatter consists of small droplets of 
electrode material that land beside 
the weld and may or may not fuse to 
the base material
• Prevention
• Reduce energy input
• Shorter arc length
• Reposition current return clamp 
to reduce magnetic arc blow or 
switch to AC current
