    ELECTRICAL ARC WELDING

    BUTT JOINT

    Ex no: 1a
    Date: 29 – 9- 2021

    Aim- To make a butt joint of given two mild steel plate of size 100 x
    30 x 6 mm using arc welding method.

    Applications- Butt joint is used in very heavy structures,


    constructions, and steel furniture using arc welding.
    Material Specification- Mild steel plates of dimension 100mm x
    30mm x 6mm – Two pieces
    Tools Required- 1) Bench vice 2) Try square 3) Steel rule 4) Flat File
    5) Chipping hammer 6) Wire brush 7) Tongs 8) Welding shield.
    Equipment Required- 1) Electrical arc welding machine 2) Arc
    welding cable 3) Ground clamp
    Safety Equipment’s- 1) Leather apron 2) Hand gloves 3) Goggle
    etc.
    Sequence of Operation- 1) Preparing 2) Tack welding 3) Final
    welding 4) Chipping & Cleaning
    Working Steps:
    1) Preparing:
    a) Clean the edges of the work piece using wire brush to remove dust
    and rust.
    b) Check the dimensions using steel rule and also check the
    straightness of the edges
    to be joined using try square.
    c) File those edges using flat file, make them straight and check with
    the try square.

    2) Tack welding:
    a) Place the pieces as close as possible butting against each other
    over welding table
    b) Check the welding machine, cable, electrode and clamp for proper
    connection
    c) Select correct electrode (3.15mm) and fix it in electrode holder,
    use gloves while
    fixing the electrode
    d) Switch on welding machine, adjust the current to 100amps. Keep
    the shield closer
    to eyes and move the electrode nearer to one end of the work piece
    pair. Electrode
    should not touch the work piece. A critical distance should be
    maintained to produce
    spark. Make a spot over the work piece.
    e) The same way makes another spot at the next end of the work
    piece pair. This is to keep the pieces in place during welding.

    3) Final welding:
    a) Move the electrode to first tack and make a spark
    b) Gradually move the electrode towards the second tack without
    shaking the electrode and maintain the gap between electrode tip
    and work piece.
    c) This is called as first run (Back hand welding id preferred for
    thick plates)
    d) For the second run start from first tack and move towards
    second tack with uniform oscillation motion. This keeps the metal
    molten a little longer and allows the slag to the surface.
    3) Chipping and cleaning:
    a) Allow the work piece to cool and dip it in the water using tongs.
    b) With the help of chipping hammer gently tap the weld bead so
    that the slag coating is removed from the work pieces.
    c) Clean the work piece with wire brush thoroughly.
    d) Check for the dimensions
    Result:
    Thus, the given two plates are joined by butt joint using arc
    welding method
