Assignment No.

Application Based Question:

1. As per L & T company work order, select polarity for Helical Saw Pipe which are used in
petroleum industries. Maximum temperature must be develop at electrode side.
2. Write down application of different form of laser which are used for particular alloy welding.
Also specify limitation of each (Minimum 4 form of laser specify)
3. Two 15-cm-thick steel plates were joined together in a single pass, as shown in below Figure.
Which welding process could have been used and why?

4. Consider EBW in the presence of a gas environment. Under the same power and welding speed,
rank and explain the weld penetration for Ar, He, and air. The specific gravities of Ar, He, and air
with respect to air are 1.38, 0.137, and 1, respectively, at 1 atm, 0°C.
5. Which arc welding process could have been used for joining the edge weld of thin-gauge steel
shown in below figure and why?

6. Do you prefer using an oxidizing or reducing flame in gas welding of high-carbon steels?
Explain why or why not.

Standard/ Important terminology & their units:
