What Is Welding ?

•Process of joining metals / alloys

•The process performed by Heat with or

without Pressure

•Filler metal may or may not be used

•The joint will be homogeneous

 Classification Of Welding
1 Pressure Welding – With Heat & Pressure

2 Fusion Welding – With Heat & mostly with

Filler
 Pressure Welding Process
• Metal parts heated to forging temperature
• Heating by Oven, Oxy fuel flame or Electric
Resistance
• Pressure applied on heated parts – by
Hammer, Hydraulic Press or Mechanical lever
• The Parts remain permanent homogeneous
joint
 Fusion Welding Process

• Metal parts locally heated to melt along the joint.

• Heating by oxy fuel flame or electric Arc.

• Invariably filler metal added to molten pool.

• On cooling, molten puddle solidifies to permanent

homogeneous joint.
