• Oxyfuel Gas Welding (OFW)

Fusion-Welding Processes

ꢀRefers to a group of welding processes that use, as their heat source, the flame produced by the combustion of fuel gas and oxygen.

• Introduction

ꢀIs defined as the melting together & coalescing of materials by means of heat, with or without the application of pressure and with or without the use of filler metal.
ꢀ Types of Gas used:

ꢁ Oxyacetylene – high temperature ꢁ Hydrogen – low temperature

ꢀThermal energy required for these operations is usually supplied by chemical (oxy-fuel gas, thermit) or electrical ( arc, resistance, electron beam, laser beam) means.

ꢁ Methylacetylene propadiene – low temperature

ꢀHeat is generated in accordance with a pair of chemical reactions:

ꢀFiller Metals

ꢁ Used to supply additional material to the weld zone ꢁ Available as rod or wire made of metals compatible with those to be welded
ꢁ Consumable filler rods may be bare, or they may be coated with flux.
ꢁ Purposes of the flux:

- Retard oxidation of the surfaces of the part being welded, by generating gaseous shield around the weld zone
- Helps to dissolve and remove oxides and other substances from the workpiece and form a stronger joint
- Slag developed protects the molten puddle of metal against oxidation as it cools
Basic equipment used in Oxyfuel-gas welding. To ensure

correct connections, all threads on acetylene fittings are lefthanded, whereas those for oxygen are right-handed. Oxygen regulators are usually painted green, acetylene regulators red.
- Provides means of adding various alloying elements into the weld metal to enhance the properties of the joint
- Stabilizes the arc by providing certain chemicals

  • Gas-Shielded Arc Welding TIG Welding

    Gas-Shielded Arc Welding TIG Welding

    Gas-Shielded Arc Welding Gas-shielded welding can be divided into the tungsten gas-shielded welding and the metal gas-shielded welding processes. The tungsten gas-shielded welding covers the processes − Tungsten plasma arc welding (PAW) − Inert-gas tungsten-arc welding (TIG), whereby TIG welding is the most widely used fusion welding process for aluminium. The plasma welding consists only of the plasma-arc welding process which works with a transferred arc. The metal shielded-gas welding is limited to the metal inert-gas welding process operating with an inert gas as shield, as well as a process combination with plasma welding (plasma metal shielded-gas welding - PMIG).

    Welding and Joining Guidelines

    Welding and Joining Guidelines The HASTELLOY® and HAYNES® alloys are known for their good weldability, which is defined as the ability of a material to be welded and to perform satisfactorily in the imposed service environment. The service performance of the welded component should be given the utmost importance when determining a suitable weld process or procedure. If proper welding techniques and procedures are followed, high-quality welds can be produced with conventional arc welding processes. However, please be aware of the proper techniques for welding these types of alloys and the differences compared to the more common carbon and stainless steels. The following information should provide a basis for properly welding the HASTELLOY® and HAYNES® alloys. For further information, please consult the references listed throughout each section. It is also important to review any alloy- specific welding considerations prior to determining a suitable welding procedure. The most common welding processes used to weld the HASTELLOY® and HAYNES® alloys are the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW / “TIG”), gas metal arc welding (GMAW / “MIG”), and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW / “Stick”) processes. In addition to these common arc welding processes, other welding processes such plasma arc welding (PAW), resistance spot welding (RSW), laser beam welding (LBW), and electron beam welding (EBW) are used. Submerged arc welding (SAW) is generally discouraged as this process is characterized by high heat input to the base metal, which promotes distortion, hot cracking, and precipitation of secondary phases that can be detrimental to material properties and performance. The introduction of flux elements to the weld also makes it difficult to achieve a proper chemical composition in the weld deposit.

  • Diffusion Bonding of Stainless ASTM A240 Grade 304 in Double Side Flux Cored Arc Welding

    Diffusion Bonding of Stainless ASTM A240 Grade 304 in Double Side Flux Cored Arc Welding

    Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals. Vol.18 No.1 pp. 63-68, 2008 Diffusion Bonding of Stainless ASTM A240 Grade 304 in Double Side Flux Cored Arc Welding Sombat PITAKNORACHON1and Bovornchok POOPAT 2 King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, Toongkru, Bangkok 10140 Abstract Received Mar. 3, 2008 Accepted May. 2, 2008 Double side flux cored arc welding (DS-FCAW) has been developed from conventional flux cored arc welding (FCAW). DS-FCAW, dual torches are used by placing an opposite to each other and welding on both sides simultaneously. The objective of this research paper is to investigate diffusion bonding effect due to DS-FCAW. Stainless steel ASTM A240 Grade 304 was studied. Other welding parameters were set constant except welding current and voltage. Diffusion bonding was observed even though weld profiles from macro inspection showed lack of penetration by weld metal in all experiments. It can be concluded that, at certain conditions, the welds can pass both mechanical test and microstructure examination because diffusion bonding process was completely developed due to high contraction stress and high temperature. The advantage of DS-FCAW is that the required joint mechanical properties can be achieved in single welding which results in reduction of welding time and cost. Key Words : Double side flux cored arc welding (DS-FCAW), Diffusion Introduction deformation to the parts.(2) Figure1. shows the joining surfaces which are separated to three parts. Conventional flux cored arc welding (FCAW) The first one is called “Base metal”, the second is the most widely used welding process in the “Cold work layer”, the last “Surface oxide and (3) construction work, for example ship building, pressure Contaminant film”.

    JOINING PROCESSES a FOCUSSED APPROACH Joining Processes

    AMIE(I) STUDY CIRCLE(REGD.) MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY JOINING PROCESSES A FOCUSSED APPROACH Joining Processes Welding is defined as the joining of metals by heat with or without pressure, and with or without the addition of other (filler) materials, to obtain a homogeneous and interlocking or fused joint. The strength of the joint is often equal to that of the base materials. Many processes are classified under the definition of welding. Soldering is not included because the strength of joints depends upon adhesion rather than fusion. Cold welding may be properly called ‘welding’ when the molecules actually interlock to form a homogeneous joints. WELDING JOINTS USE OF HEAT IN WELDING PROCESSES There are two general ways of applying heat. The first method applies “concentrated heat” to a limited and localized area near the joint, and thus restricts the expansion and contraction of the material. This is done in most electrical processes, such as metallic arc welding, electron beam welding and the resistance welding methods. The second method applies a general heat to the material near the joint, which raises the temperature to that required to join the parts. Thus when the material cools, there are no localized stresses that will tend to pull the joint apart. Furnace brazing, dip brazing, forge welding and preheating for arc and gas welding are used in the second method. WELDABILITY Weldability denotes the relative ease of producing a weld which is free from defects such as cracks, hard spots, porosity or non-metallic inclusions. Weldability depends on one or more of following major factors: 1.

Brazing and Soldering: Melting of filler rod only • Brazing: higher temperature, ~brass filler, strong • Soldering: lower temp, ~tin-lead filler, weak 2. Welding: Melting of filler rod and base metals 06/09/2016 PROF.V.V.SHINDE NDMVP'S KBTCOE NASHIK Advantages of welding: • Welding provides a permanent joint. • Welded joint can be stronger than the parent materials if a proper filler metal is used that has strength properties better than that of parent base material and if defect less welding is done.
