 OBJECTIVES:

1. Identify and understand the essentials of

welding; and
2. Determine the Acceptable Weld profile.
 TERMS AND DEFINITION

WELDING

A joining process that produces coalescence of

materials by heating to a melting point, with or without
the application of pressure and with or without the use
of filler metal.
 TERMS AND DEFINITION

COALESCENCE

The growing together or growth into one body of the

materials being welded.
 TERMS AND DEFINITION

ELECTRODE

Metal rod which conduct a current from the

electrode holder to the base metal.
 TERMS AND DEFINITION

BASE METAL

The metal or alloy that is welded, brazed, soldered,

or cut
 TERMS AND DEFINITION

FUSION WELDING

The melting together of filler metal and metal, or of

base metal only, to produce a weld.
 TERMS AND DEFINITION

ARC

The flow of the electric current from the tip of the

electrode to the base metal being welded.
 TERMS AND DEFINITION

DEPOSITION RATE

The amount of filler metal deposited in any welding

process fated in pounds per hour.
 TERMS AND DEFINITION

STRING BEAD

A weld bead made with very little rod manipulation.

 TOOLS, MATERIALS AND
EQUIPMENT
The tools, materials and equipment must be
appropriate to the job you are doing. Make
sure the safety of the tools, materials and
equipment in every task.
 Following are the tools, materials and
equipment needed:
MATERIALS

CARBON STEEL PLATE CARBON STEEL PIPE

 ELECTRODES

•E6011 3.2 mm(1/8inch) for Root Pass

•E7018 3.2 mm(1/8inch) for Filling Pass, Capping
 EQUIPMENT

Portable Grinder
An angle grinder, also known as a side grinder or disc grinder, is a handheld
power tool used for grinding (abrasive cutting) and polishing.
 WELDING MACHINE

Welding Machine
a device used to join materials together. Welding machines produce heat
that melts metal parts so that these parts can be joined. Thus, when it cools, it becomes
a fixed and resistant joint.
 Essentials to obtain quality weld

A. Choosing the right electrode

1. Kind of the base metal
2. Type of Welding equipment
3. Dimensions and design of parts
4. Joint preparation and set-up
5. Welding position
6. Specification and Service Condition
7. Practicability of heat treatment
8. Cost limits
 Essentials to obtain quality weld

B. Current requirement
The heat liberated at the arc is directly proportional to the arc
voltage and the intensity of the current. Since the arc voltage under
ordinary condition depends on the arc length, which ideally should be
held constant, the current or amperage used is therefore the main
factor in determining the heat input, which in turn effects the
condition of the weldment.
At high current values the hotter arc will cause a larger area and
deeper portion of the work piece to be melted and the electrode to melt
faster, giving a deeper penetration and faster welding speed.
However, too high current will cause harmful overheating of the base
metal with undercutting or possibility of burn-through for thin work
pieces.
 The amperage to be used depends on:

1. Kind of Electrode
2. Size of Electrode
3. Thickness of plates
4. Welding Position
5. Arc length
6. Travel speed
7. Work Angle
