The primary audience for the Handbook is first-line supervisors and work leaders. However, the Handbook’s direction applies to all Forest Service employees. Direction in the Handbook generally is written in the imperative mood, which conveys mandatory compliance: “Wear a hardhat on the fireline.” The use of the helping verbs “must” and “shall” also conveys mandatory compliance. The use of “should” conveys re- quired compliance, except where justifiable circumstances make compliance unnecessary because there is no threat to worker safety or health. The use of “may” and “can” conveys optional com- pliance. Sentences in bold italic type indicate that a fatality resulted because of a failure to comply with a standard operating pro- cedure or practice. 01 – AUTHORITY. 1. The basic authority for safety and health standards is the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (sec. 19 and 24), as amended (Title 29 United States Code (U.S.C.), 668, 673), and the implementing regulations issued by the Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR), Part 1910, Occupational Safety and Health Standards; Part 1926, Construction Standards; and Part 1960, Basic Program Elements for Federal Employee Occupational Safety and Health Programs and Related Matters. 2. Executive Order 12196, February 26, 1980, explains the required occupational safety and health programs for Federal em- ployees.

Welding and brazing variables are introduced and some example concepts for applying each variable are highlighted to pique the student’s interest and perhaps lead to further study. Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to: • Understand the concept of creating a welding/brazing procedure • Identify several commonly used welding/brazing processes • Identify the more common welding/brazing variables • Appreciate some of the considerations for applying each variable 1.0 INTRODUCTION This course highlights the basic concepts of developing a welding or brazing procedure specification (WPS/BPS). There are a number of ways to approach this subject such as by process, base material, etc. It will be convenient to organize our thoughts in the format of ASME Section IX. The various factors that might influence weld quality are identified in ASME Section IX as "Welding Variables". "Brazing Variables" are treated in a separate part of Section IX in a manner similar to welding variables. The listing of variables for welding procedures can be found in ASME Section IX, Tables QW-252 through QW-265 (a table for each process). The layout of each table is similar to Figure No. 1. www.SunCam.com Page 2 of 35 033.pdf Welding Technology A SunCam Continuing Education Course Process Variable Variation (Description) Essential Supplementary Essential Nonessential Joint Backing X Root Spacing X Base P Number X Metal G Number X Filler F Number X Metal A Number X Continued in this fashion until all relevant variables for the subject process are listed.

  • 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). The abbreviations used are: GAW Gas-shielded arc welding GMGMMA Gas-mixture shielded metal-arc welding GTAW Gas-shielded tungsten arc welding (MAGM) GMAW Gas-shielded metal arc welding MAGC CO2-shielded metal-arc welding AHW Atomic hydrogen welding NGW Narrow-gap welding CAW Constricted arc welding EGW Electro -gas welding TIG Tungsten inert-gas arc welding PMIG Plasma MIG welding MIG Metal inert-gas arc welding MAG Metal active-gas arc welding p Pulsed arc PJW Plasma jet welding sh Short arc PAW Plasma arc welding sp Spray arc PJPW Plasma jet plasma arc welding l Long arc TIG Welding Principle of TIG Welding TIG welding equipment Watercooled TIG welding torch Torch forms for TIG welding Shielding gases for welding and cutting Flow meters Flow meter for torches Effect of current and inert gas Argon consumption for TIG welding Tungsten electrodes

This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld. This is in contrast with soldering and brazing, which involve melting a lower-melting-point material between the workpieces to form a bond between them, without melting the workpieces. Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound. While often an industrial process, welding can be done in many different environments, including open air, under water and in outer space. Regardless of location, welding remains dangerous, and precautions are taken to avoid burns, electric shock, eye damage, poisonous fumes, and overexposure to ultraviolet light.

  • Dispelling the Fears of Hydrogen in Shielding Gases for Corrosion Resistant Overlays on High Strength Steels
    Dispelling the Fears of Hydrogen in Shielding Gases For Corrosion Resistant Overlays on High Strength Steels Introduction: Hydrogen-bearing shielding gases have been used for decades; however, with today’s awareness about hydrogen- induced cracking (HIC) and the need for low hydrogen consumables and welding practices, the suggestion of using a welding shielding gas containing hydrogen is rarely considered. The negativity associated with the use of this gas has long overshadowed its inherent benefits. In an attempt to overcome these inhibitions and prohibition by the welding academic/technical community, it was realized that a study of the effects of hydrogen additions to shielding gases to either confirm or dispel these concerns was justified. Such a study is especially interesting to the technical community involved with the use of the gas tungsten arc welding process with hot wire filler metal addition (GTAW-HW) for the welding of corrosion-resistant overlays (CROs) on high strength steels like 4130, 8630 and F22, all of which are common alloys used for components in the upstream sector (production) of the oil and gas industry. The CRO alloy of choice for many of these “oil patch” applications is INCONEL 625 (625). Another impression one gets when mentioning the use of hydrogen is the fear of explosions. While true that hydrogen is highly flammable, its flammability limit occurs at 4% concentration. For this study, 98% Ar – 2% H2 was used so the concern for fire or explosion is immediately eliminated. Hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), however, is a more legitimate concern among metallurgists familiar with its potentially catastrophic consequences.

  • Introduction to Welding Engineering
    1 Introduction to Welding Engineering 1.1. History and Development of Welding The first historical reference about welding is given in Bible and Tubal-Cain was the first smith who forged the instruments of bronze and iron. About 5000 years back the forge, hammer, anvil, bellows and fire heaters were used for forging. It was in the year 1887 that Thomas Fletcher of Warrington invented various blow pipes for burning hydrogen or coal gas with air or oxygen. The bicycle frames were manufactured with the help of these blow pipes. This type of blow pipe is used even today where acetylene gas is used in place of hydrogen or coal gas. In 1892, acetylene gas was first discovered by Thomas Leopold Wilson of North Carolina. In 1886, two Frenchmen, the Brins brothers formed a company for the liquefaction of air from which pure oxygen was obtained. The only acetylene welding blow pipe was invented by Fouche and Picard. Volta, after whom the term volt is named, demonstrated in 1800 that the electric arc could be used for melting iron wire and the process of fusion of metals by electricity was born. A swedish marine engineer thought of protecting the arc with an inert gas. This gas, he produced by applying a flux to the electrode. The flux melts and vaporises in the intense heat of the welding arc, protects the molten metal from the air and can be used to add alloying elements to the welding wire. Many advances have been made since these early days. Auto- mation has added to them, welding arcs and cutting flames, electronically guided arc, gas combined with electricity in hydrogen, helium and argon arcs.
