ARC WELDING EQUIPMENTS

ARC WELDING:

• It is a fusion welding process which

uses an electric arc to produce the
heat required for melting the metal.
• The welder creates an electric arc
that melts the base metals and filler
metal (consumable) together so that
they all fuse into one solid piece of
metal.
How an Arc Welding formed
• The arc is like a flame of intense heat that is
generated as the electrical current passes
through highly resistance air gap.
PRINCIPLE AND PROCESS OF
ARC:

• A suitable gap is kept between the work and

electrode.
• A high current is passed through the circuit.
• The electric energy is converted into heat
energy, producing a temperature of 3000C To
4000C.
• This heat melts the edges to be welded and
molten pool is formed.
• On Solidification the welding joint is obtained.
