WELDING
– Welding is a materials joining process which produces coalescence of materials by heating them to suitable temperatures with or without the application of pressure or by the application of pressure alone, and with or without the use of filler material.
– Welding is used for making permanent joints. – 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.

Fusion Welding: Arc Welding (AW)
A fusion welding process in which coalescence of the metals is achieved by the
heat from an electric arc between an electrode and the work
1. Electric energy from the arc produces temperatures ~ 10,000 F (5500 C), hot enough to melt any metal.
2. Most AW processes add filler metal to increase volume and strength of weld joint.
3. A pool of molten metal is formed near electrode tip, and as electrode is moved along joint, molten weld pool solidifies in its wake

Two Basic Types of Arc Welding (Based on Electrodes)
1. Consumable electrodes consumed during welding process added to weld joint as filler metal in the form of rods or spools of wire
2. Non-consumable electrodes not consumed during welding process but does get
gradually eroded filler metal must be added separately if it is added
![Page 13: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Arc welding (AW): Arc Shielding
1. At high temperatures in AW, metals are chemically reactive to oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen in air Mechanical properties of joint can be degraded by these
reactions Arc must be shielded from surrounding air in AW processes
to prevent reaction
2. Arc shielding is accomplished by Shielding gases, e.g., argon, helium, CO2
Flux
![Page 14: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Arc welding (AW): Flux
A substance that prevents formation of oxides and other contaminants in welding, which comes from
1. granules that are created from the welded material.2. a coating on the stick electrode that melts during welding to
cover operation.3. a core that is within tubular electrodes and is released as
electrode is consumed.
Melts during welding to be liquid slag that hardens when cooled. The slag should be removed for a clean look by brushing or grinding off.

OXYFUEL WELDING
• OFW is the term to describe the group of fusion operations that burn various fuels mixed with oxygen to perform welding.
• The OFW processes employ several type of gases, which is the primary distinction among the members of this group.
• The most important OFW process is oxyacetylene welding. Filler materials are used to supply additional material to the weld zone. Flux is often used to clean the surfaces and to retard oxidation by providing inert gas shield around the weld area. It also helps in removing oxide and other impurities. Borax, is the most common flux, but sometimes other substances are added to improve its effectiveness.

C2 H2 + O2 → 2CO + H2 + Heatand the second reaction in the outer zone gives:
2CO + H2 + 1.5O2 → 2CO2 + H2 O + Heat
• The maximum temperature at the tip of inner cone reaches up to 3000-3500°C. Therefore, most gas welding is performed by keeping this inner zone tip just above the metal to be welded so that maximum temperature is available for welding.

TYPES OF FLAMES…
• Oxygen is turned on, flame immediately changes into a long white inner area (Feather) surrounded by a transparent blue envelope is called Carburizing flame (30000c)
• Addition of little more oxygen give a bright whitish cone surrounded by the transparent blue envelope is called Neutral flame (It has a balance of fuel gas and oxygen) (32000c)
• Used for welding steels, aluminum, copper and cast iron• If more oxygen is added, the cone becomes darker and more
pointed, while the envelope becomes shorter and more fierce is called Oxidizing flame
• Has the highest temperature about 34000c• Used for welding brass and brazing operation

TYPES OF FLAMES…
• A neutral flame is obtained when the ratio of is oxygen and acetylene is 1. Most gas welding operations are carried out by this flame.
• An oxidizing flame is obtained when this ratio is more than 1. This type of flame is not suitable for welding of steels since excess oxygen present reacts with carbon in steel and is generally used for welding of copper and its alloys.
• When the ratio in mixture is less than 1 a carburizing flame is obtained. In this type of flame acetylene decomposes into carbon and hydrogen and the flame temperature gets reduced. Joining operations such as brazing and soldering which require lower temperature generally use this flame

POROSITY
• Porosity is the entrapment of small volumes of gas in solidifying weld metal
• Prevention– Drying consumables– Cleaning, degreasing
material being welded– Electrode or filler metals
with higher level of deoxidants
– Sealing air leaks, reducing excess shielding gas flow
![Page 64: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Molten weld metal is able to hold more gas than solid weld metal. For this reason, gas bubbles tend to evolve as the liquid metal solidifies. These gas bubbles trapped within the solid weld metal are referred to as porosity. Although porosity is sometimes noted at the surface of a weld, visual inspection cannot detect internal porosity. Radiography and ultrasonic methods are required. Localized regions of porosity can be cut from a weld; a repair is then made. For general porosity throughout a weld, the entire weld must be gouged out and rewelded.
![Page 65: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

SLAG INCLUSIONS
• Slag inclusions, as the name implies, are small pieces of welding slag which are trapped in the weld metal. Unlike porosity, which is usually spherical, slag inclusions are irregularly shaped. Since these are internal discontinuities, radiography or ultrasonic testing is required for detection. Weld regions containing slag inclusions must be cut out and rewelded.
Slag inclusions are irregularly shaped, not spherical like porosity Prevention

LACK OF FUSION
• Lack of fusion is caused by incorrect welding conditions
• Prevention– Procedure for complete
fusion should be verified by testing
– Increased energy input– Correct electrode angle
and work position
• Lack of fusion can occur at the weld sidewall, root, or between individual passes. Magnetic particle and dye or fluorescent penetrant may be used to detect this discontinuity if it reaches the surface. Otherwise, radiography or ultrasonic methods must be used. Affected regions must be cut out and rewelded.
![Page 67: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

INCOMPLETE ROOT PENETRATION
• Incomplete root penetration can be caused by– Excessively thick root face,
insufficient root gap– Incorrect welding conditions– Misalignment of second weld
• Prevention– Improved joint preparation– Test weld verifications for
correct parameters– Reassessment of back
gouging
• Incomplete root penetration is the failure of a weld to extend into the root of a joint. For a double weld, it is an internal discontinuity and can be detected only by radiography or ultrasonic testing. It can be detected by magnetic particle, and dye or fluorescent penetrant methods if the root side is accessible. A long pipeline would be an example of when the weld root (inside the pipe) would not be accessible. This defect is repaired by cutting it out and rewelding.

OVERLAP
• Overlap is an imperfection at the weld toe or root caused by metal flowing onto the surface of the base metal without fusing to it
• Prevention– Adjust electrode
manipulation to ensure fusion of base metal
– Limit size of fillet to 9-mm leg length
• Overlap is often associated with horizontal welding; welding in the flat position can help to eliminate this problem. Overlap can be detected visually and can be supplemented with dye penetrant. It is corrected by cutting back to sound weld metal. Rewelding may be necessary
![Page 69: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

UNDERCUT
• Undercut is an irregular groove at the weld toe in the parent metal or previous pass caused by– excessive weaving– melting of top edge of fillet
weld with high current• Prevention
– Weld in flat position– Change shielding gas to one
which produces better wetting– Terminate welds so they don’t
finish at a free edge
• Undercut is another defect that can be associated with horizontal welding among other factors such as high current and excessive weaving. Flat position welding can aid in eliminating this discontinuity. It is detected visually and measured by a depth gauge. Deep undercut is ground out and weld repaired

SPATTER
• Spatter consists of small droplets of electrode material that land beside the weld and may or may not fuse to the base material
• Prevention– Reduce energy input– Shorter arc length– Reposition current return
clamp to reduce magnetic arc blow or switch to AC current
• As metal drops transfer from the electrode to the weld pool, some are blown clear of the weld and form drops of spatter on the base plate. All open arc consumable electrode processes produce some spatter.
• Spatter can occur when the energy input is too high or when the arc length is excessive. Arc blow can also cause spatter, as can insufficient inductance in GMAW or CO2 welding.
• Spatter can be detected visually. It can be removed by scraping or by light grinding. Anti-spatter coatings are available on the market that prevent spatter from adhering to the base material.

GAS CUTTING
• Ferrous metal is heated in to red hot condition and a jet of pure oxygen is projected onto the surface, which rapidly oxidizes
• Oxides having lower melting point than the metal, melt and are blown away by the force of the jet, to make a cut
• Fast and efficient method of cutting steel to a high degree of accuracy
• Torch is different from welding• Cutting torch has preheat orifice and one central orifice for oxygen
jet• PIERCING and GOUGING are two important operations• Piercing, used to cut a hole at the centre of the plate or away from
the edge of the plate• Gouging, to cut a groove into the steel surface
![Page 72: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
02/05/2023 RAVI VISHWAKARMA 72
Flame Cutting
• Metal is merely melted by the flame of the oxyfuel gas torch and blown away to form a gap or kerf.
• When ferrous metal is cut, actually burning of iron takes place according to one or more of the following reactions
Fe+ O Feo+ Q3Fe+2 O2 Fe3 O4+ Q
4Fe+3 O2 2Fe2 O3 + Q
![Page 73: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
02/05/2023 RAVI VISHWAKARMA 73
• Because, these reactions cannot take place below 815°C oxyfuel flame is first used to raise the metal temperature where burning can be initiated. Then a stream of pure oxygen is added to the torch (or the oxygen content of the oxyfuel mixture is increased) to oxidize the iron. The liquid iron and iron oxides are then expelled from the joint by the kinetic energy of the oxygen gas stream.
• Low rate of heat input, and need of preheating ahead of the cut, oxyfuel produces a relatively large heat affected zone and thus associated distortion zone.
• The process is suitable when edge finish or tolerance is not critical.• Theoretically heat generated due to burning of Fe is sufficient to continue cutting however
due to losses additional heat supply is needed. If the work is already hot due from the other processes, supply of oxygen through a small diameter pipe is needed to continue cut. This is called Oxygen Lance Cutting. A work piece temperature of 1200°C is needed to sustain the cutting.
• Low carbon steel from 5 to 75 mm can be cut.

SOLID / LIQUID STATE BONDING
• Low temperature joining methods are used when the metal to be joined cannot withstand high temperature, or intricate sections are to be joined, or dissimilar metals are to be joined, or weldability of material is poor.
• In these methods, the gap between the metal pieces to be joined is filled with molten filler material after heating the base metal. Melting point of filler material is much lower than base metals.
• The bonding is not due to melting of parent metal and fusion.
![Page 77: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
02/05/2023 RAVI VISHWAKARMA 77
• Filler material is drawn into the gap between the metal pieces to be joined by capillary action and the bond formation is initiated when the molten filer metal comes under intimate contact with the solid surface as in solid state welding.
• The nature of bond formed is much complex here, and invariably there is some degree of intersolubility between filler and base metals.
• This inter-diffusion at the base metal surface and resulting alloy has a strength which is very close to that the base metal.
![Page 78: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
02/05/2023 RAVI VISHWAKARMA 78
• For a good joint strength the liquid filler metal; must flow into the gap between the metal pieces to be joined and cover the entire surface area, without gaps or blow holes. The following usually insures good bonding:
– Clean base metal surfaces– Maintain optimum gap– Heat the joining area above meltingtemperature of the filler material– Use fluxes for welding of base metalsurfaces.• Joint strength is sensitive to the gap and
there exists an optimum gap for a filler material.

Brazing and Soldering
• Brazing It is a low temperature joining process. It is performed at
temperatures above 840º F and it generally affords strengths comparable to those of the metal which it joins. It is low temperature in that it is done below the melting point of the base metal. It is achieved by diffusion without fusion (melting) of the base

• In brazing the joint is made by heating the base metal red hot and filling the gap with molten metal whose melting temperature is typically above 450°C but below melting temperature o base metal. The filler metals are generally copper alloys. Cu-Zn and Cu-Ag alloys are used for brazing because they form alloy with iron and have good strength.

SOLDERING
• Soldering is very similar to brazing except that filler material is usually a lead-tin based alloy which has much lower strength and melting temperature around 250°C.
• In this process less alloying action between base metal and filler material as compared to brazing takes place hence the strength of joint is lesser.
• It is carried out using electrical resistance heating

WELDING METALLURGY
• In fusion welded joint, where three distinct zones can be identified:-
• The base metal• The heat affected Zone• The fusion Zone
![Page 91: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
02/05/2023 RAVI VISHWAKARMA 91
Two major concerns occur in the heat affected zone which effect weldability these are, a.) changes in structure as a result of the thermal cycle experienced by the passage of the weld and the resulting changes in mechanical properties coincident with these structural changes, and b.) the occurrence of cold or delayed cracking due to the absorption of hydrogen during welding.
![Page 92: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
02/05/2023 RAVI VISHWAKARMA 92
Heat Affected Zone
• The Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) is an area of a base metal which, while not melted, still has had its chemical properties altered by high temperature heat. This phenomenon primarily occurs during welding or high-heat cutting. The high temperature from the welding process and eventual re-cooling causes this change from the weld interface to the end of the sensitizing temperature in the metal. These areas can be varying sizes and levels of severity.
• The metallurgical changes that can occur at the HAZ tend to cause stresses that reduce the strength of the material. The HAZ can also suffer from a decreased resistance to corrosion and/or cracking (i.e, sensitization). These metallurgical changes can also lead to the formation of nitrides at the HAZ, which can affect weldability. In addition, the microstructure at the HAZ can be altered in a way that increases its hardness compared to the surrounding material. Hardness, sensitization, and high local stresses in or near the HAZ may be mitigated by practices such as controlled pre- and post-weld heat treatment and solution annealing.
![Page 93: ADVANCE WELDING TECHNOLOGY](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/58cffc961a28abfc0a8b5b73/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
02/05/2023 RAVI VISHWAKARMA 93
How much these changes in metallurgical and physical properties can affect the HAZ of the material is dependent on a number of factors, including the base material, the weld filter metal, and the amount and concentration of heat input during the welding process.

• Hard facing may be applied to a new part during production to increase its wear resistance ,or it may be used to restore a worn-down surface. Hard facing by arc welding is a surfacing operation to extend the service life of industrial components, pre-emptively on new components, or as part of a maintenance program. The result of significant savings in machine down time and production costs has meant that this process has been adopted across many industries such as Steel, Cement, Mining, Petro chemical, Power, Sugar cane and Food. According to the results of an experimental study, the SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) and the GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding)hard facing processes were effective in reducing the wear on the mould board ploughshare. With the SMAW and GMAW hard facing processes, the life span of the ploughshare was increased approximately 2 times.

Cladding
Cladding is the bonding together of dissimilar metals. It is different from fusion welding or gluing as a method to fasten the metals together. Cladding is often achieved by extruding two metals through a die as well as pressing or rolling sheets together under high pressure.

Welding Symbols
Representation of welds on drawings requires the use of following elements-1. A basic symbol to specify each type of weld.2. A reference line and an arrow to indicate the location the weld in a
joint.3. Supplementary symbols to mark weld-all-round, finish of welds
etc.4. Weld dimensions in cross-section and in length.

WELDING DESIGN
Before an arc can be struck on metal, the product must be designed to serve its purpose, the material chosen and the method of welding determined in more or less detail.The weldment design engineer must I. Know the limitations and specific requirements of the processes as well
as the equipment available on the shop floor.II. Have a good working knowledge of the shop problems of shrinkage and
distortion.III. Have accurate knowledge not only of suitability but also of availability of
materials or the costs of extras.IV. Be able to calculate stresses, strengths and determine weld sizes and put
these together to work out a design that meets all service requirements.

Welding Joint Design
since, welding joins metals, design for welding is chiefly concerned with joints-when to use a joint, how to weld it, where to place it, what to do and what not to do.Selection and preparation of weld joints is an important step in the fabrication of a weldment.Selection of correct joint design is very essential if welded members are to perform within the load service, corrosive atmosphere and safety requirements.
