c. Review of the past lesson
 Good Morning Class!  Good Morning Class!
 Before we start our new topic, let us  Yes Sir!
first review our previous lesson, last
meeting we talk about the SMAW
Welding. Am I right class?
 What is welding SMAW machine?
 Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also
known as manual metal.
arc welding flux shielded
arc welding or informally as stick welding,
is a manual arc welding process that uses
a consumable electrode covered with a flux
to lay the weld.

 Very Good!  1. GMAW or Gas Metal Arc Welding

 What are the different types of 2. GTAW or Tungsten Inert Gas
welding machine? 3. Arc Welding or SMAW
4. Gas or Oxy Acetylene Welding And
Cutting
 Very Good!

B. Motivation
 Class, just like Woodworking, we
have different activities and practices
to perform to able to master the skills
and techniques in welding operation.
 And there are different kinds of joints
in Woodworking that are used to join
two pieces of woods.

C. Presentation
 In welding, there are five basic joint
designs that are used in almost all
welded structures.

We have the butt joint, lap joint, tee

joint, outside corner joint, and edge
joint.

 Will you read the first one?

 Very good! Next, the second one?
 Very good! Then the third one?
 Very good! How about the fourth
one?
 Very good! And the last one, please?
 Excellent
 1. Butt Joint – is a welded joint between to
abutting parts lying in approximately the
same plane.
 2. Lap Joint – is the welded joint in which
two over lapping parts are connected.
 3. Tee Joint – a welded joint at the junction
of two parts located approximately at right
angle to each other to form “T”.
 4. Outside Corner Joint – a welded joint
between two parts located approximately
at right angle to each other to form of an
“L”.
 5. Edge Joint – a welded joint connecting
the edges or two or more parallel or nearly
parallel parts.

 Why did I give you some information

about these types of joints? Because
we have to perform the square edge
close butt welds in flat position.

To weld a square edge close butt

welds in flat position. The bead
should be straight, even height and
width, with fine ripples and the
welded plates aligned. Do you
understand class?
 Will you read the tools, equipment  Yes Sir!
and materials needed?  Mild steel plate
Electrode E6013
AC Welding Machine
Steel brush
Chipping hammer
Welding Helmet/Shield
Gloves
 Very Good! Apron
 We have also the steps to be
followed on how to weld square edge
close butt weld in flat position.
 Will you read the first step?

 1. Tack weld the plate 10mm from each

 Very Good! The tuck weld must be
correctly applied so that it is strong
enough to hold the assembly and still
not interfere with the finished
welding.
 Next, the second step, will you read?
 Very Good! Place the plate with the
opposite side that has o tack weld.
 Then the fourth one?
end and at the center with no gap between
plates.
 2. Present the plates to allow for angular
distortion.
 3. Lay the plate flat on the table with the
side which is not tack on top.

 Very Good! Maintain an arc length of

 2-3mm.  4. Weld the side which is not tacked with
 How about the fifth one? the electrode at 70º travel angle and 90º
work angle.
 Very Good! Chip off the slug with the
use of chipping hammer and clean
the bead with the steel brush.  5. Chip the slug and wire brush the bead.
 Wear the safety glasses or the
chipping shield in your helmet. Can
you follow class?
 Then the sixth one?
 Very Good!  Yes Sir!
 Check the weld run for uniform width
and avoid the same mistake you did
to the first try.  6. Inspect the run for uniform width.
 How about the seventh one?

 Very Good! Wire brush the scale to

remove the scale.
 And the last one?  7. Turn the plate over the grind the tuck
 Very Good! flush.
 Are there any question regarding our
lesson class?
 8. Weld the reverse part following the
same procedure.
 None. Sir!

D. Application
(The students will perform the square edge close butt weld in flat position under
supervision and guidance of the teacher.)

E. Teaching Techniques
Demonstration and Socratic Method.

F. Generalization
How to perform in safety procedure and clean work the square edge close butt in flat
position.

IV. Evaluation:
Criteria for evaluation:
Straightness…………….25%
Ripples…………………..25%
Width of bead…………...20%
Height of bead…………..20%
Plate alignment………...10%
Total: 100%

V. Assignment:
Testing and Inspection of Weld
1. Describe the difference of mechanical and non-mechanical testing.
2. Explain why welds are tested.
3. Write the twelve most discontinuities and the nondestructive method of locating them.
