 WELDING
The Welding is a process of joining two or more,
similar or dissimilar metals by heating them to a
suitable temperature , with or without the
application of pressure, filler materials and flux.

Welding is used for making permanent joints.

 TYES OF WELDING
Plastic Welding or Pressure Welding:
The piece of metal to be joined are heated to a
plastic state and forced together by external
pressure (Ex) -Resistance welding
Fusion Welding or Non-Pressure Welding:
 The material at the joint is heated to a molten
state and allowed to solidify (Ex)- Gas welding,
Arc welding
 GAS WELDING
Gas Welding is a fusion welding process, in which the heat
for welding is obtained by the combustion of oxygen and
fuel the gas may be acetylene ,hydrogen or propene .
Types:
Oxy- Acetylene
Air-Acetylene
Oxy-Hydrogen
Oxy-Fuel
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
Advantages:
 Portable and most versatile process.
 Better control over the temperature.
 Suitable to weld dissimilar matter.
 Low cost & maintenance.

Disadvantages:
 Not suitable for heavy section.
 Less working temperature of gas flame.
 Slow rate of heating.
 ARC WELDING
 Arc welding is a fusion welding process in which the heat
required to fuse the metal is obtain from the electric arc
between the base metal and an electrode.
Types:
1. Metal Arc Welding
2. Submerged Arc Welding
3. Tungsten Inert Gas Welding
4. Metal Inert Gas Welding
 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
Advantages
 Most efficient way to join
metals
 Lowest-cost joining
method
 Affords lighter weight
through better utilization
of materials
Disadvantages
 Manually applied,
therefore high labor cost.
 Need high energy causing
danger
 Not convenient for
disassembly.
 Defects are hard to
detect at joints.
 APPLICATIONS
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 etc.
 CONCLUSION
In these we learn about most popular welding
type uses in industries.
A good weld is always strong.
General welding equipment is not very costly.
 Portable welding equipment are available.
A large number of metal and alloy both similar and
dissimilar can be join by welding.
 Welding permits considerable freedom in design.
