LAP JOINT Aim: To make a Lap joint using are welding ob the given workpieces. Mild steel plate of size 100 x 50 x 06 mm —2 Nos. Tools required: Power supply (AC/DC) Welding Torch Electrodes: Tongs Chipping harimer Wire brush Gloves Apron Shield 10, Safety gozeles 11, Earth Clamp eRe epbeee Sequence of Operations Edge preparation (Removal of rust, seale ete.. by fling) Tackis Welding Cooling Chipping Cleaning Pea po Working Procedure: 1. First ofall, the work pieces must be thoroughly cleaned to remove rust, seale and other foreign material by filing, ces are placed on the table in such a way that two work pieces re ‘Then the work pi are overlapped ane over another as shown 3. Appropriate power supply should be given to the electrode and the work pieces. 4, When current is passed, is produced between electrode and the work piece.When current is passed, is produced between electrode and the work pieces. 6. Set the two work pieees in correct position like Lap join! and tack a: both ends of the work pieces as shown in figure. 7. ‘Then the welding is carried owt throughout the length of the wark piece 8. Assounas the welding process's finished switch off the e rent supply 9. ‘Then allow the work pizce to cool, afer that slags are removed! by process with the help of chipping hammer. hipping 10, Finally by using wire brush, welded portions (Weldment) are cleaned. Results Thus the desired lap joint is obtained using are welding, Notes Lap joints are used in fabrication of irom tubes for steam and water pipe3. LAP. JOINT DRAWING : * All dimensions are in mm
