 1.0 - INTRODUCTION

Arc welding is a welding process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to

create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals when cool result in a binding of the
metals. It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric
arc between a metal stick ("electrode") and the base material to melt the metals at the point of
contact. Arc welders can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and consumable
or non-consumable electrodes.

3.0 – SAFETY PROCEDURE IN WORKSHOP

 EACH USER MUST USE THE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
WHEN USING THE MACHINE / EQUIPMENT such as : ( Safety Boots , Gloves , Hand
Shield , Apron and other necessary personal protective equipment )

 OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM A TECHNICAL LECTURER BEFORE USING A MACHINE /

EQUIPMENT

 ENSURE ALL THE MACHINE / EQUIPMENT ARE IN A GOOD CONDITION AND SAFE
BEFORE USE

 USE ALL THE MACHINE / EQUIPMENT PROPERLY , SECURELY AND IN ACCORDANCE

WITH THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE (SOP) AND TURN OFF THE POWER
SOURCE AFTER USE

 CLEAN THE MACHINE / EQUIPMENTFROM ALL THE IMPURITIES AFTER USE

 IMMEDIATELY CLEAN ANY SPILLS AND LEAKS ON THE MACHINE / EQUIPMENT

 REPORT ANY DAMAGE OF THE MACHINE / EQUIPMENT TO THE LECTURER /

TECHNICIAN IMMEDIATELY

 IF HAD AN ACCIDENT , QUICKLY PRESS THE SAFETY BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE FLOW
OF ELECTRICITY

 ARRANGE ALL THE EQUIPMENTS IN A NEAT AND ORDERLY PLACE

 MAKE SURE THE WORKSHOP IS FREE OF ALL THE IMPURITIES AND FREE OF ALL
OBSTACLES

 USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IF THERE WAS A MINOR FIRE

 LEAVING THE LAB / WORKSHOP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO THE GATHERING PLACE IF
THE EMERGENCY OR FIRE ALARM WARNING IS RINGING

4.0 – MATERIALS , TOOLS & EQUIPMENTS

MATERIALS ,TOOLS AND FUNCTION

EQUIPMENT

WELDING MACHINE
 Welding machines take the electrical
current from a high voltage power
source and convert it into a usable
arc of energy to fuse two materials
together

ELECTRODE HOLDER
 The electrode holder connects to the
welding cable and conducts the
welding current to the electrode. The
insulated handle is used to guide the
electrode over the weld joint and
feed the electrode into the weld
puddle as it is consumed

ELECTRODE
 Used to conduct current through a
workpiece to fuse pieces together.
Depending upon the process, the
electrode is either consumable,in the
case of gas metal arc welding or

 shielded metal arc welding, or non-
consumable,such as in gas tungsten
arc welding

EARTH CLAMPS
 Connects the metal with power
supply from welding machine and to
avoid from electric shock

CHIPPING HAMMER
 A chipping hammer is a tool used to
remove welding slag from a weld
and welding spatter from along side
welds.Used by carefully swinging
and hitting the weld to shatter the
slag

WIRE BRUSH
 To clean and clear the metals chips
after welding in the metal surfaces

7|Page
 PLIER
 Used to carry hot metal plate and
adjust the metal plate

HAND SHIELD
 Protect the eyes,face and neck from
flash,burn,ultraviolet
light,sparks,infrared light,and
heat.Most commonly used with arc
welding processes such as shielded
metal arc welding,gas tungsten arc
welding and gas metal arc welding

SAFETY GLOVES
 To cover hands from burn. These
gloves allow digit articulation while
protecting the operator from
electrical shock,extreme heat and
ultraviolet and infrared radiation and
also provide abrasion resistance and
enhanced grip

8|Page
SAFETY APRON
 Protects you and your clothing from
hot metal and slag that is generated
while welding,grinding or using a
cutting torch

SAFETY BOOTS
 To protect your feets from
injuries.It’s also protect your feet
from burn or scalded and avoid your
feets from metal sparks

 5.0 – WORKING PROCEDURES
o Gather all the equipments which needed to weld

o Clean the metal if there’s any rust or dirt on the metal plate

o Place the electrode at the electrode holder and turn on the welding machine

o Set up the work-piece with 90° plate to perfectly weld the metal plate at 90° to make
corner joint
o Tack – weld at both the corner of the metal plate

o Weld the remaing part to completely weld the metal plate

o Once welding done , we have to remove the slag using chipping hammer

o Remove the excess dirt by using wire brush and make it shine

 6.0 – CONCLUSION
As conclusion, the objective can achievable to do the practical welding. The student must
have skill to do the welding, used the knowledge and understanding of the theories, and also
welding techniques are applied in the practical welding. The practical task have been
complete and the report will accomplished to prove the student can be do the practical task of
Arc Welding.
