    Welding is a process that joins metals by heating them to melting point and allowing them to fuse together. There are many different welding processes that use either a consumable or non-consumable electrode and various energy sources like electricity, gas flames, lasers, or electron beams. Some key welding processes include shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and oxy-fuel welding. Each process has advantages and limitations for different welding applications and materials.

    Welding Defined :

    Is a physical joining process.



    Welding may be described as a metal-
    working process in which metals are joined
    by heating them to the melting point and
    allowing the molten portions to fuse or flow
    together.
    Metallurgical Capacity
    Parent metal will join with the weld metal without
    formation of deleterious constituents or alloys.
    Mechanical Soundness
    Joint will be free from discontinuities, gas porosity,
    shrinkage, slag, or cracks.
    Serviceability
    Weld is able to perform under varying conditions or
    service (e.g., extreme temperatures, corrosive
    environments, fatigue, high pressures, etc.).

    Chemical energy

    Soldering
    Brazing
    consumable electrode
    Soldering : A joining process wherein a joint is
    produced by heating, generally below 800F
    and using a nonferrous filler metal that has a
    melting point below that of the base metals.
    It is distinct because
    the base materials
    should not be melted.
    Brazing : A joining process that is identical to
    soldering except that the joining takes place at
    temperatures above 800F.
    Uses a electrode rod that is quickly
    consumed,
    Uses equipment that is simple, inexpensive,
    and highly portable,
    Uses an electrode that provides and regulates
    its own flux,
    Provides all position flexibility,
    Is less sensitive to wind or drafts,
    Yields a weld with a variable quality and
    appearance based on operator skill.
    This process has the same idea of SMAW in
    protection by the gasses resulted from the
    melted flux.
    Here, Flux is in a powder form , not coated the
    electrode as in SMAW.
    It is used for welding heavy industrial
    component, as: pressure vessels , bridges..
    1. High speed welding of thin sheet steels at over 2.5 m/min is possible.
    2. No arc flash or glare.
    3. Minimal smoke and fumes.
    4. Flux and wire added separately - extra dimension of control.
    5. Easily automated.
    6. Joints can be prepared with narrow grooves.
    7. Can be used to weld carbon steels, low alloy steels, stainless steels,
    chromium-molybdenum steels, nickel base alloys.
    1. Flux obstructs view of joint during welding.
    2. Flux is subject to contamination - porosity.
    3. Normally not suitable for thin material.
    4. Restricted to the flat position for grooves - flat and horizontal for
    fillets.
    5. Slag removal required.
    6. Flux handling equipment.
    In tungsten inert gas arc welding (TIG),
    Arc is struck between a nonconsumable tungsten electrode and the workpiece.
    Gas shielding (to protect the molten metal from contamination).
    Constant amperage are supplied during the welding operation .
    1. Superior quality welds
    2. Welds can be made with or without filler metal
    3. Precise control of welding variables (heat)
    4. Free of spatter
    5. Low distortions

    1.Requires greater welder dexterity than MIG or stick welding.
    2.Lower deposition rates.
    3.More costly for welding thick sections.
    The flame is applied to the base metal and held until a small
    puddle of molten metal is formed.
    The puddle is moved along the path where the weld bead is
    desired.
    Usually, more metal is added to the puddle as it is moved along
    by means of dipping metal from a welding rod or filler rod into
    the molten metal puddle.
    The metal puddle will travel towards where the metal is the
    hottest
    This is accomplished through torch manipulation by the
    welder.
    Oxygen and acetylene gases mixed at the correct proportions and
    ignited produce one of the hottest flames known. 6300
