Welding Metals: Principles and Arc Welding | Joining Processes | Manufacturing Science

In this article we will discuss about the welding of metals:- 1. What is Welding? 2. Principles of Solid Phase Welding 3. Principles of Fusion (Liquid State) Welding 4. Weld Defects and Inspection. What is Welding?: Unlike the manufacturing processes employed to produce a single component, the joining processes are used to assemble different members to yield the desired complex configuration. [...]

Classification of Welding Processes (with Chart)| Metal Joining | Engineering

Welding is broadly classified into two types: I. Plastic Welding: In this case the two pieces of metals to be joined are heated to plastic state and welding is completed by forcing them. In this case no filler material is added. II. Fusion Welding: In this case the two pieces of metal are heated and brought to molten state and [...]

Application of Computers in Welding Process | Metallurgy

Most important application of computer in welding is for the setting of welding parameters. Computer is used to control the welding process with regard to both static and dynamic characteristics. A computerised welding process controller is designed to handle the various phenomena occurring during the welding process, viz., the start-up sequence, continuous welding-including parameter setting, and the termination sequence. Start [...]

General Conditions for Welding of Metals (With Diagram) | Metallurgy

For obtaining good results it is desirable that the surfaces should be clean and free from foreign materials. The cleaning can be done by wire brushing, machining or sand blasting. Impurities if present tend to make the joint weaker as the welded portion is filled with gas and slag inclusions and metal becomes brittle and the cohesion between the metals [...]

Oxyacetylene Welding Process for Metals | Types | Gas Welding | Metallurgy

In oxyacetylene welding, the two gases used for producing flame are oxygen and acetylene. Oxygen is used to support and intensify combustion. It is generally prepared in factories by liquefying air and then separating it into its component parts by rectification. From factories, it can be obtained under high pressure in cylinders which are fitted with pressure regulators to get [...]
