Arc welding section

1. Scope of application

These standards specify regarding arc welding (Includes CO2 shield welding ).

2.Welding machines and welding equipment

(1) Welding machine must enable stable arc formation and excellent welding.

(2) Welding machine and welding equipment should be compatible with JIS.

3. Welding bar and wires

(1) Welding bar and wire should be JIS compliant.

(2) Welding bar and wire should be considered as Table 1.

(3) For welding bar and wire diameter, based on sheet thickness (Shaft diameter) of welding material,
consider Table 2 as standard.

Table 2 Welding bar and wire diameter

Sheet thickness
Welding bar (φmm) Wire diameter (φmm)
(Shaft diameter) (mm)
(0.8 ~ 1.2) 2.0 0.9
1.3 ~ 2.3 2.6 0.9 (1.2)
2.4 ~ 3.2 1.2
For sheet thickness (Shaft diameter) consider thinner sheet side (Small shaft diameter) as a standard.

4.Welding
(1) General items

(a) All the jigs and fixed tools must be well maintained.

(b) Welding bar and wires must not have harmful defects such as transformations, moisture absorption and
bends etc.

(c) Welded joints must be kept in clean state.

(d) Take proper considerations to prevent tack welding from deformation, inconsistency and blowholes.

(e) There should be no extreme ventilation in CO2 shield welding.

(f) In prototype part where spot welding or other such processes are specified, should not have large impact
of tacking which is done to decide position according to arc welding.
Example
When regular spot welding is done after tacking by arc welding on iron plate made pulley which is
specified with spot welding, it surpasses drawing specifications and the joint becomes strong.
Therefore, even if it does not satisfy the originally required strength, it does not show any failures
during quality check however, it is evaluated wrongly.

(2) Operating conditions

Operating condition should be considered as Table 3.
