    TITLE
    1. ARC Welding Practice by making various welding joints.

    Introduction
    2. In ARC welding the two pieces to be joined are connected to the neutral (negative) side of the ARC welding plant.
    The live side is connected to the holder and an electrode is held in the holder which has a holding clamp. The joint position
    is setup correctly and the electrode is brought close to the joint. In just about to touch position an ARC occurs which melts
    both parent metals being joined and the electrode. In the molten state the metals fuse into each other and form a common
    molten layer which when solidifies from a welded joint.
    3. The electrode not only initiates the ARC but also gets consumed in the process and becomes part of the molten
    state of the metals and electrode. The electrode also carries a flux coating on its outer surface. This flux facilitates welding
    and in the high temperature provides a neutral atmosphere to avoid forming oxides of the weld.
    4. The plant of ARC welding is primarily a step down transformer which reduces the voltage and increases the current
    to the tune of 150, 200, 250 - - - - - 6000 amps. This high current passing through the electrode and the parent metal forms
    the joint.
    5. Improper welding results into different welding defects. These defects make the welded joint weak and brittle.
    Some of welding defects are:-
    a. Improper and incomplete fusion.
    b. Oxidation and oxides formation at the joint.
    c. Cavitation.

    Objective:
    6. Introduce to the students ARC welding equipment and basic technique through practical handling.

    Requirements
    7. Following are the requirements for the ARC welding practice:
    a. ARC welding plant.
    b. Connecting cables.
    c. Holder.
    d. Electrodes (3 Per Student).
    e. Pieces of MS plates 50mm x 100mm x 6mm.
    f. A practice plate of 300mm x 200mm.
    g. Safety vizer/shield, a leather apron and gloves.

    Procedure
    8. The following procedure will be adopted in the given steps:
    a. The parent pieces are inspected for any crack or impregnated impurity like grease/oil, paint etc. If
    necessary it is cleaned.
    b. The joining side of the piece is grinded to form a half “V” i.e. through taper grinding of the edge to be
    welded. When both pieces are placed in the welded position (depending on the joint to be formed) to form
    the “V” This V is where the electrode runs and the molten layer is formed to create a joint.
    c. Select the electrode according to the job and adjust the current on the plant accordingly. A reference chart
    may be followed.
    d. Carry out welding starting from one end and run electrode throughout the length of the weld. The distance
    and direction must be maintained with a stable hand. The electrode must be moved in a slightly cross
    fashion and back while running on the length of the joint.
    e. After welding has been completed, allow it to cool. Clean while placing the holder in its rack. Neatly take
    away the cables and switch off the plant.
    f. Inspect the joint. If necessary the opposite side of the job is also welded. A heavier job may require multiple
    layers.
    g. Mark your Roll No and name on the piece of paper and place along with the job.

    Safety Precautions
    9. Following are important precautions which must be adopted during ARC welding practice:
    a. Always use an eye protecting shield since ARC welding can be highly injurious to the eyes.
    b. Always wear a leather apron to avoid flying splinters which can cause burn.
    c. Handle jobs with leather gloves.
    d. Select the right electrode and set the current on the welding plant correctly.
    e. Jobs must be fixed properly in position for welding.
    f. Handle the hot job with care since after welding the temperatures are high.
    g. Use a chipping hammer to inspect the weld after removing the oxide layers which cover the weld.
