• Conclusion
Welding:
• The Welding is a process of joining two or more, similar or dissimilar
metals by heating them to a suitable temperature , with or without
the application of pressure, filler materials and flux. Welding is used
for making permanent joints.
TYPES OF WELDING
• :  Plastic Welding or Pressure Welding: The piece of metal to be
joined are heated to a plastic state and forced together by external
pressure (Ex) -Resistance welding  Fusion Welding or Non-Pressure
Welding: The material at the joint is heated to a molten state and
allowed to solidify (Ex)- Gas welding, Arc welding
CLASSIFICATION OF WELDING
PROCESSES
• : Gas welding(Oxy- Acetylene) Arc welding(Metal Arc) Resistance
welding Solid state welding Thermo-chemical welding Low
Temperature welding
Gas Welding
• : Gas Welding is a fusion welding process, in which the heat for
welding is obtained by the combustion of oxygen and fuel the gas may
be acetylene ,hydrogen or propene . Types: • Oxy- Acetylene • Air-
Acetylene • Oxy-Hydrogen • Oxy-Fuel
Oxy-Acetylene Welding:
• When a combination of Oxygen and acetylene is used in correct
proportions to produce an Intense gas flame, the process is known as
oxy-acetylene welding.
Gas Welding Equipment
• : 1. Gas Cylinders Pressure- Oxygen – 125 kg/cm2 Acetylene – 16
kg/cm2 2. Regulators • Working pressure of oxygen 1 kg/cm2 •
Working pressure of acetylene 0.15 kg/cm2 • Working pressure varies
depends upon the thickness of the work pieces welded. 3. Pressure
Gauges 4. Hoses 5. Welding torch 6. Check valve 7. Non return valve
• Advantages:  Portable and most versatile process.  Better control
over the temperature.  Suitable to weld dissimilar matter.  Low cost
& maintenance. Disadvantages:  Not suitable for heavy section. 
Less working temperature of gas flame.  Slow rate of heating.
Arc Welding:
• “Arc welding is a fusion welding process in which the heat required to
fuse the metal is obtain from the electric arc between the base metal
and an electrode. Types: 1. Metal Arc Welding 2. Submerged Arc
Welding 3. Tungsten Inert Gas Welding 4. Metal Inert Gas Welding
Equipment:
• A welding generator (D.C.) or Transformer (A.C.) Two cables- one
for work and one for electrode Electrode holder Electrode
Protective shield Gloves Wire brush Chipping hammer Goggles
Metal Arc Welding
• : Uses an electric arc to coalesce metals Arc welding is the most
common method of welding metals Electricity travels from electrode
to base metal to ground
• Advantages and Disadvantages of Arc Welding Advantages  Most
efficient way to join metals  Lowest-cost joining method  Affords
lighter weight through better utilization of materials  Joins all
commercial metals  Provides design flexibility Disadvantages 
Manually applied, therefore high labor cost.  Need high energy
causing danger  Not convenient for disassembly.  Defects are hard
to detect at joints.
Applications:
• It is used in the manufacture of automobile bodies. Aircraft Frames
Railway Wagons Machine Frames Structural works, tanks,
furniture, boilers, general repair work and ship building etc.
Conclusion:
• In these we learn about most popular welding type uses in industries.
A good weld is always strong. General welding equipment is not
very costly.  Portable welding equipment are available. A large
number of metal and alloy both similar and dissimilar can be join by
welding. Welding permits considerable freedom in design.
