Workshop 2
Welding; Oxyfuel Welding & MIG Welding

General Rules and Instructions:

1- Safety First. Follow the rules and regulations imposed by the workshop and the technician in
charge.
2- Do not use any tool unless supervised by one of workshop technicians.
3- Lab coats are mandatory while being in the workshop.
4- Failure to follow these instructions will result in failure in this part of the assessment.

Welding Equipment #1: Oxyfuel (Oxyacetylene welding) Process

A typical oxyacetylene welding operation (OAW).

The objectives for this workshop are to:

1. Provide students the ability to lead/direct the technician during the welding process.
2. Identify Oxyfuel welding and equipment and tools.
3. Select the welding parameters
4. Inspect the quality of the weld and decide whether to accept or reject the welded joint.

Welding Equipment #2: Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding Process

Metal Inert Gas Welding.

The objectives for this workshop are to:

1. Provide students the ability to lead/direct the technician during the welding process.
2. Identify MIG welding and equipment and tools.
3. Select the welding parameters
4. Inspect the quality of the weld and decide whether to accept or reject the welded joint.

Methodology:
In this workshop each student will be assigned thee sets of tensile test specimen in the form of sheet
metal cut to size. Each student will decide based on the samples given, electrodes size, and the welding
machine available his welding parameters to make the tensile test specimen and evaluate the strength of
welded joint.

Report:
Each student will submit a report on this lab including:
1. Complete description of the welding machine, electrodes, and welding parameters selected with
justifications for his selections.
2. Comments on the quality of the welded specimens.
3. Preparation steps for welding, post welding, and tensile testing.
