Welding
Arc Welding?
• Uses
electricity
for heat
Arc Welding ?
• Electrodes
(Rods)
covered
with flux
Arc Welding?
• Gas cloud
(Shield) around
the metal
during welding
Arc Welding
• Heat for arc
welding comes
from electricity
Arc Welding
• Welder = machine
used for welding that
produces a current
Arc Welding
• Arc = discharge of
electricity
• Weldor = a person
who welds
Arc Welding
• Electrodes = flux
coated metal rods
Arc Welding
• Electrode Holder =
spring loaded device
with insulated handles
used to grip the
electrode
Arc Welding
• Ground Clamp =
spring loaded clamp
that is attached to an
electrical cable
Arc Welding
• Chipping Hammer
= steel hammer with
a sharp edge/point
and a wire brush
Arc Welding
• Helmets = cover
your head and neck
region-- a # 10 shield
is required
Arc Welding
• Safety Glasses =
must be worn under
the welding helmet
Arc Welding
• Welding Gloves =
insulated gloves worn
to protect hands from
heat and sparks (not
100%)
Welding Process
W=VXA
W = Watts = measure
of energy available
W=VXA
V = Voltage =
measure of electrical
pressure
W=VXA
A = Amp = rate of
flow of current
Temperature
• Arc can be up to
9000 degrees F.
Temperature
• Depends on:
–Arc Length
–Electrode type
–Amp Setting
–Base Metal
Duty Cycle
• The percentage of time that a welder
can operate without overheating
