SCOPE

This data sheet contains general information on the subject of electric arc-welding as it relates to the designand fabrication of boilers and unfired pressure vessels. Inspectors involved with shop inspection work, pres-sure vessel repairs and the certification of drawings for Code compliance should be familiar with the basicinformation contained herein.

The term ‘‘ASME Code’’ as used in this data sheet means the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

DEFINITIONS OF WELDING TERMS

The following is an abbreviated glossary of common welding terms. Additional terms are defined in QW-492,Section IX of the ASME Code. For a complete compilation of standard welding and cutting definitions, seeSection 1 of the Welding Handbook published by the American Welding Society (AWS).

Arc blow. Magnetic disturbance of the arc which causes it to waver from its intended path.

Arc length. The distance from the end of the electrode to the point where the arc makes contact with worksurface.

Arc voltage. The voltage across the welding arc.

As-welded. The condition of weld metal, welded joints and weldments after welding prior to any subsequentthermal or mechanical treatment.

Backing. Material (metal, weld metal, asbestos, carbon, granulated flux, etc., excluding gas) backing up thejoint during welding to facilitate obtaining a sound weld at the root. May be strips, rings, welds, etc.

Back-step welding. A welding technique wherein the increments of welding are deposited opposite the direc-tion of progression.

Back weld. A weld (generally short) made to hold parts of a weldment in proper alignment until the final weldsare made. Used for assembly purposes only.

Gas metal-arc welding (GMAW). An arc welding process wherein coalescence is produced by heating withan electric arc between a filler metal (consumable) electrode and the work. Shielding is obtained from a gas,a gas mixture (which may contain an inert gas) or a mixture of a gas and a flux. (Sometimes known as MIGwelding.) Flux cored arc welding (FCAW), with or without additional shielding from an externally suppliedgas or gas mixture, is considered as a variation of the GMAW process. This is a gas metal-arc welding pro-cess which produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an arc between a continuous filler metal

STANDARD WELDING SYMBOLS

AWS welding symbols are the shorthand of welding. They enable the designer and draftsman to convey com-plete instructions for welding to the welder on blueprints and drawings. Use of the symbols has the follow-ing advantages:

1. Control of specific design instructions to the shop regarding weld sizes and plate edge preparation, elimi-nating the tendency for overwelding or underwelding (resulting in either increased production costs or unsafefabrication) because of lack of definite information.

2. Elimination of unnecessary detail on drawings when such detail is for the sole purpose of indicating weldsizes and specifications. Welding notes are kept to a minimum.

3. Establishment of a common understanding of design intent and requirements between engineers, shoppersonnel, customer’s representatives and Code inspection authorities.

AWS welding symbols are a national standard and are, in fact, used worldwide. All inspectors involved inshop inspection work and/or checking of pressure vessel designs should be familiar with their use and inter-pretation. Fig. 5 shows most of the basic weld symbols and their location significance. Fig. 6 shows typi-cal applications. For additional information on this subject, refer to Standard Welding Symbols and Rules forTheir Use, published by the American Welding Society (AWS A2. 1-76).

IDENTIFICATION OF COVERED ARC-WELDING ELECTRODES AND BARE ARC-WELDING RODS

Covered arc-welding electrodes are marked for identification by either of two methods:

1. By imprinting the AWS-ASTM classification number on the coating (Fig. 7). Electrodes identified in thismanner are commonly referred to as ‘‘type-marked.’’

2. By color coding in accordance with the Standard for Identification of Covered Arc-Welding Electrodes pub-lished by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (Fig. 8). Since this method of identification hasbeen mostly phased out in favor of type marking, no further mention will be made of it here.

The following list gives examples of covered arc-welding electrodes approved for use in the fabrication of boil-ers and pressure vessels under the ASME Code. See Appendix A1 of the applicable section of the ASMECode, Section II, Part C, on Welding Rods, Electrodes and Filler Metals for details of the methods ofclassification.

1. Mild Steel Arc-Welding Electrodes, SFA-5.1

2. Corrosion-resisting Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Steel Welding Electrodes, SFA-5.4

3. Low-Alloy Steel Arc-Welding Electrodes, SFA-5.5

4. Copper and Copper-Alloy Electrodes, SFA-5.7

5. Nickel and Nickel-Alloy Welding Electrodes, SFA-5.11

Cut-length, bare, arc-welding rods are marked for identification by one of the following methods:

1. By imprinting the AWS-ASTM classification number on the surface of the bare rod.

2. By indenting the AWS-ASTM classification number on the surface of the bare rod.

3. By attaching to the bare rod a label bearing the AWS-ASTM classification number.

Regardless of the method used, at least one legible marking should be located within the space 2 1⁄2 in.(64 mm) from one end of each rod. The prefix letter E in the classification number is customarily omitted.

Electrode filler metal wound on spools is identified by the AWS-ASTM classification number marked on at leastone flange of the spool.

ESSENTIALS FOR PROPER WELDING PROCEDURES

Quality of Weld. Besides the steady frying and cracking sound that a correct arc produces, the shape ofthe molten pool and the movement of the metal at the rear of the pool serve as a guide in checking weld qual-ity. In a correctly made deposit, the ripples produced on the bead will be uniform and the bead will be smooth,with no overlap or undercut.

Correct Arc Length. If the arc is too long, the metal melts off the electrode in large globules which wobblefrom side to side as the arc wavers, giving a wide, spattered and irregular bead, with poor fusion between origi-nal metal and deposited metal. If the arc is too short, there is not enough heat to melt the base metal prop-erly and the electrode quite often sticks to the work, giving a high, uneven bead, having irregular rippleswith poor fusion and slag and gas holes.

Correct Current. If current on machines is too high or too low, a poor weld is certain to result. If too high,the electrode melts too fast and the molten pool is large and irregular. If too low, there is not enough heatto melt the base metal and the molten pool will be too small, will pile up, look irregular.

Correct Travel Speed. When the speed is too fast, the pool does not last long enough, impurities and gasare locked in. The bead is narrow and ripples pointed. When speed is too slow, the metal piles up, the beadis high and wide, with a rather straight ripple.

Correct Electrode Size. The correct choice of electrode size involves consideration of a variety of factors,such as the type, position, and preparation of the joint, the ability of the electrode to carry high current val-ues without injury to the weld metal or loss of deposition efficiency, the mass of work metal and its abilityto maintain its original properties after welding, the characteristics of the assembly with reference to effectsof strains set up by heat application, the practicability of heat treatment before and/or after welding, the spe-cific requirements as to weld quality andthe cost of achieving the desired results.

Correct Electrode Angle. The electrode angle is of particular importance in fillet welding and deep groove weld-ing. Generally speaking, when making a fillet weld, the electrode should be held so that it bisects the anglebetween the plates (Fig. 9) and is perpendicular to the line of weld (Fig. 10). When undercut occurs in thevertical member, lower the angle of the arc and direct the arc toward the vertical member.
