    Welding is a process that joins materials through localized coalescence using heat, pressure, or a combination of both. There are several welding processes that are classified based on the energy source used (such as gas, arc, resistance) or type of energy (such as plasma arc, laser beam). Resistance welding is a common non-fusion process where heat is generated by resistance to electric current flowing through the interface of joined materials. Different types of resistance welding include spot welding, seam welding, and flash butt welding, which are chosen based on the material and joint geometry, required weld quality, and cost considerations.

    Welding

    Asif Hussain Assistant Professor UMT Lahore Pakistan

    What is Welding?
    Welding is a process of permanent joining two materials (usually metals) through localised coalescence resulting from a suitable combination of temperature, pressure and metallurgical conditions. In order to obtain coalescence between two metals there must be a combination of proximity and activity between the molecules of the pieces being joined, sufficient to cause the formation of common metallic crystals.

    Classification of Welding Process


    Classification can be done on the basis of: Combination of temperature and pressure: from a high temperature with no pressure to a high pressure with low temperature Source of energy: 1. Gas welding oxyacetylene, oxy-hydrogen 2. Arc welding carbon arc, metal arc, submerged arc, inert-gas-welding

    Classification of Welding Process


    TIG(Tungsten Inert Gas) & MIG(Metal Inert Gas) plasma arc, electro-slag 3. Resistance welding spot, seam, projection, butt welding, induction welding 4. Solid state welding friction welding, ultrasonic welding, explosive welding, forge and diffusion welding 5. Thermo-chemical welding thermit welding, atomic H2 welding (arc welding) 6. Radiant-energy welding electron-beam welding, laser beam welding

    Conditions for Obtaining Satisfactory Welds


    To obtain satisfactory welds it is desirable to have: 1. Source of Energy: energy supplied is usually in the form of heat generated by a flame, an arc, the resistance to an electric current, radiant energy or by mechanical means (friction, ultrasonic vibrations or by explosion). 2. Surface Contaminants: e.g, organic films and absorbed gases are effectively removed by Heat, when used as a source of energy. Oxides are cleaned by fluxes as slag which floats over the weld bead and solidifies to protect it from further oxidation. Note: Flux is a substance which is nearly inert at room temperature, but which becomes strongly reducing at elevated temperatures, preventing the formation of metal oxides.

    Selection of Welding Process


    There are a number of welding processes available; however, their application is dictated by the material properties, type of weld joints, their quality required in the service condition, cost and availability of the machine and operators skill.

    Electrical Method
    Electric resistance welding: is a nonfusion welding process. The heat H generated is given by: H = I2 * R * t where I is the current, R is the resistance of the interface of the joint and t is the time of the application of current When the rise in temperature is sufficient, a large pressure is applied at the heated interface to form a weld joint. The process variables are current, time of application of current, pressure, duration of pressure applications, materials to be welded and their thickness

    Types of Resistance Welding


    Spot welding Seam welding Projection welding Upset Butt welding Flash butt welding

    Spot Welding
    Squeeze time Weld time Hold time Off-time Certain constant pressure is maintained from squeeze time till hold time If the current is too high: weld expulsion, reduced mechanical properties and electrode embedment in the surface If the current is too low: unfused surface and poor weld If pressure is high: will increase the contact and decrease the contact resistance and so less heat will be generated. It may lead to distortion and reduced electrode life. Increase in current time: will make the nugget growth upto the electrode face

    Spot Welding (contd)


    What will happen when the two plates of: 1. Different thicknesses are welded 2. Different conductivity are welded In these cases, the electrodes of different diameters are selected. If t is the thickness of the plate then the diameter de of the electrode will be: de = (0.1 + 2t) mm

    Advantages of Spot Welding


    High speed of operation Cleanliness No welding rods and less operational skills

    Seam Welding
    Process of continuous joining of overlapping sheets by passing them between two rotating electrode wheels. Heat generated by the electric current flowing through the contact area and pressure provided by the wheels are sufficient to produce a leak-tight weld.

    Seam Welding
    There is a need to increase the heating as the welding proceeds either by increasing the current or by external heating like high frequency heating Current interruption can also be employed to control the heating of the rollers in order to supply the requisite heat to the weld The applied pressure and current density may range from 3-8.5 MPa & 775 A/mm2, therefore, cooling arrangements of rollers must be provided to avoid their distortion

    Applications of Seam Welding


    Seam Welding is a high speed and clean process used (when continuous tight weld is required) in fuel tanks, drums, domestic radiators

    Resistance Butt Welding (Upset Butt Welding)


    Weld is obtained by bringing two pieces of metals to end-to-end contact under pressure and then allowing the current to flow. The contact surfaces should be as smooth as possible. A forge structure is obtained. (Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. Forging can produce a piece that is stronger than an equivalent cast part) Employed for joining tubes.

    Flash Butt Welding


    The process is obtained by pressing the two pieces against each other under pressure so that the contacts will be at the points due to surface roughness The surfaces are heated (by welding current) upto molten condition, and as one piece is slowly advanced towards the other the molten metal is flashed out. After the faces attain plastic stage, upsetting pressure is applied leading to bonding of the two faces.

    Flash Butt Welding

    Flash Butt Welding


    Difference from RBW: Contrary to RBW where smooth contact surface is preferred, in FBW contacts between the two surfaces are made at some point only due to the roughness of the surface With preheating, the applied pressure in the cold (not preheated) can be reduced to approximately half the above values

    Flash Butt Welding


    Applications: 1. Cheap and simple 2. Employed to highly alloyed steels which cannot be welded by other methods satisfactory. 3. Motor-car industries
