Introduction to welding
technology

It can be performed with or without filler metal and

with or without pressure. There are several types
of welding that are used today. Gas Metal
Arc Welding (GMAW) or MIG, Gas Tungsten
Arc Welding (GTAW) or TIG, Flux Core Arc Welding,
and Stick Welding are the most common found types in
industrial environments.

1.STICK WELDING (SHEILDED METAL ARC WELDING)

Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known

as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux
shielded arc welding[1] or informally as stick welding, is a
manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode
covered with a flux to lay the weld.
It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to
create an electric arc between an electrode and the base
material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use
either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and
consumable or non-consumable electrodes.
2.MIG WELDING(GAS METAL ARC WELDING)

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred

to by its subtypes metal inert
gas (MIG) welding or metal active
gas (MAG) welding, is a welding process in which an
electric arc forms between a
consumable wire electrode and the work piece metal(s),
which heats the work piece metal(s), causing them to
melt and join.
 3.FLUX CORE ARC WELDING (FCAW)

Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW or FCA) is a semi-automatic or

automatic arc welding process. FCAW requires a continuously-
fed consumable tubular electrode containing a flux and a
constant-voltage or, less commonly, a constant-current welding
power supply. An externally supplied shielding gas is sometimes
used, but often the flux itself is relied upon to generate the
necessary protection from the atmosphere, producing both
gaseous protection and liquid slag protecting the weld. The
process is widely used in construction because of its high
welding speed and portability.
4.SUBMERGED ARC WELDING

(SMAW) proSubmerged arc welding (SAW) is a common arc welding process. The
first patent on the submerged-arc welding (SAW) process was taken out in 1935 and
covered an electric arc beneath a bed of granulated flux. Originally developed and
patented by Jones, Kennedy and Rothermund, the process requires a continuously fed
consumable solid or tubular (metal cored) electrode.[1] The molten weld and the arc
zone are protected from atmospheric contamination by being "submerged" under a
blanket of granular fusible flux consisting of lime , silica, manganese oxide, calcium
fluoride , and other compounds. When molten, the flux becomes conductive, and
provides a current path between the electrode and the work. This thick layer of flux
completely covers the molten metal thus preventing spatter and sparks as well as
suppressing the intense ultraviolet radiation and fumes that are a part of the shielded
metal arc welding cess.
TIG WELDING(GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING)
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known
as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc
welding process that uses a non-
consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The
weld area and electrode is protected from oxidation or other
atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding
gas (argon or helium), and a filler metal is normally used,
though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not
require it. A constant-current welding power
supply produces electrical energy, which is conducted
across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and
metal vapors known as a plasma.
ELECTRO SLAG WELDING (ESW)
Atomic hydrogen welding (AHW) is an
arc welding process that uses an arc between two
metal tungsten electrodes in a shielding atmosphere
of hydrogen. The process was invented by Irving
Langmuir in the course of his studies of atomic
hydrogen. ... The process was also known as arc-atom
welding.
CARBON ARC WELDING(CAW)
It is a type of welding that uses a welding power
supply to create an electric arcbetween an electrode
and the base material to melt the metals at
the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or
alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non-
consumable electrodes.
MOST POPULAR WELDING PROCESS IN
INDUSTRIES
1. SHEILDED METAL ARC WELDING:-
With this particular type of welding, the welder follows a
manual process of stick welding. The stick uses an electric
current to form an electric arc between the stick and the metals
to be joined

2. GAS METAL ARC WELDING:-

This style of welding is also referred to METAL INERT GAS(MIG). It
uses a shielding gas along the wire electrode , which heat ups the
two metal to be joined
 3. Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW):-
This was developed as an alternative to shield
welding. The semi-automatic arc weld is often used
in construction projects, thanks to its high welding
speed and portability.

4.Gas Tungsten Arc Gas Welding (GTAW/TIG):-

Welding together thick sections of stainless steel or
non-ferrous metals is the most common use for this
method. It is also an arc-welding process that uses a
tungsten electrode to produce the weld. This process
is much more time consuming than the other three
and much more complex, too.
SAFETY PRECAUTION SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED :-
Do not permit unauthorized persons to use welding or
cutting equipment.

c. Do not weld in a building with wooden floors, unless the

floors are protected from hot metal by means of fire
resistant fabric, sand, or other fireproof material. Be sure
that hot sparks or hot metal will not fall on the operator or
on any welding equipment components

d. Remove all flammable material, such as cotton, oil,

gasoline, etc., from the vicinity of welding.

e. Before welding or cutting, warm those in close proximity

who are not protected to wear proper clothing or goggles.
 CONTINUE
Remove any assembled parts from the component being
welded that may become warped or otherwise damaged by
the welding process.

g. Do not leave hot rejected electrode stubs, steel scrap, or

tools on the floor or around the welding equipment.
Accidents and/or fires may occur.

h. Keep a suitable fire extinguisher nearby at all times.

Ensure the fire extinguisher is in operable condition.

i. Mark all hot metal after welding operations are

completed. Soapstone is commonly used for this purpose
