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. -

Magnetically Impelled Arc Butt (MIAB) Welding of Chrome Plated Steel
MAGNETICALLY IMPELLED ARC BUTT (MIAB) WELDING OF CHROMIUM- PLATED STEEL TUBULAR COMPONENTS UTILIZING ARC VOLTAGE MONITORING TECHNIQUES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David H. Phillips, M.S.W.E ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Professor Charley Albright, Advisor Approved by Professor Dave Dickinson _________________________________ Professor John Lippold Advisor Welding Engineering Graduate Program ABSTRACT Magnetically Impelled Arc Butt (MIAB) welding is a forge welding technique which generates uniform heating at the joint through rapid rotation of an arc. This rotation results from forces imposed on the arc by an external magnetic field. MIAB welding is used extensively in Europe, but seldom utilized in the United States. The MIAB equipment is robust and relatively simple in design, and requires low upset pressures compared to processes like Friction welding. In the automotive industry, tubular construction offers many advantages due to the rigidity, light weight, and materials savings that tubes provide. In the case of automotive suspension components, tubes may be chromium-plated on the ID to reduce the erosive effects of a special damping fluid. Welding these tubes using the MIAB welding process offers unique technical challenges, but with potential for significant cost reduction vs. other welding options such as Friction welding. Based on published literature, this research project represented the first attempt to MIAB weld chromium-plated steel tubes, and to utilize voltage monitoring techniques to assess weld quality. ii Optical and SEM microscopy, tensile testing, and an ID bend test technique were all used to assess the integrity of the MIAB weldments. -

STEEL for FORGE WELDING F Ra N K N
No. 1853 STEEL FOR FORGE WELDING F ra n k N . S peller, P ittsburgh, P a. Member of the Society In this paper the principal factors — method of manufacture, chemical composition, fluxing quality, susceptibility to heat and welding temperature — affecting the welding quality of steel are discussed and the average results of 80 tests made on forge welds of hammer-welded pipe are compared with the original material. In addition it is stated that tests have demonstrated that both steel not over 0.16 per cent carbon and minimum tensile strength of 47fi00 lb. per sq. in. and that not over 0S0 per cent carbon and minimum* tensile strength of 62,000 lb. per sq. in., are satisfactory for forge welding of pipe lines, penstocks, tank-car work and similar construction but that the former is best adapfed for welded parts of boilers and pressure vessels. In conclusion the writer believes that the most important consideration to pro duce uniformly good results in the forge welding of steel, is suitable ma terial, weU^trained operators and adequate facilities for the control of operations. An appendix is devoted to a presentation of the Tentative Specifica tions for Steel Plates for Forge Welding of the American Society for Testing Materials as revised in 1921. HE welding quality of steel, and the strength and reliability of such welds, depend on a number of factors, which include prin Tcipally: method of manufacture, composition of the metal, suscepti bility to heat, fluxing quality, the mechanical appliances for hand ling and controlling the work, and the skill of the operator. -

Lecture: 3 Classification of Welding Processes II Apart from Technical
Lecture: 3 Classification of Welding Processes II Apart from technical factors, welding processes can also be classified on the fundamental approaches used for deposition of materials for developing a joint. This chapter presents the classification of welding processes as welding processes and allied process used for developing a joint Keywords: Welding and allied processes, approach of classification, cast weld, resistance weld, fusion weld, solid state weld 3.1 Classification of welding processes There is another way of classifying welding and allied processes which is commonly reported in literature. Various positive processes involving addition or deposition of metal are first broadly grouped as welding process and allied welding processes as under: 1. Welding processes i. Cast weld processes ii. Fusion weld processes iii. Resistance weld processes iv. Solid state weld processes 2. Allied welding processes i. Metal depositing processes ii. Soldering iii. Brazing iv. Adhesive bonding v. Weld surfacing vi. Metal spraying This approach of classifying the welding process is primarily based on the way metallic pieces are united together during welding such as Availability and solidification of molten weld metal between components being joined are similar to that of casting: Cast weld process. Fusion of faying surfaces for developing a weld: Fusion weld process Heating of metal only to plasticize then applying pressure to forge them together: Resistance weld process Use pressure to produce a weld joint in solid state only: Solid state weld process 3.2 Cast welding process Those welding processes in which either molten weld metal is supplied from external source or melted and solidified at very low rate during solidification like castings. -
Arc Welding • Electric Arc Is Produced When Current Flows Across the Air Gap Between the End of Metal Electrode and Work Surface
Arc welding • Electric arc is produced when current flows across the air gap between the end of metal electrode and work surface. • Electric discharge occurring in the air gap. • The temperature at centre of arc is 6500C. • Only 3600C is utilized for melting of metal. • Arc welding is a welding process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals when cool result in a binding of the metals. • Equipments: • Transformer: To change high voltage and low amperage to a low voltage 20-80 V and high 80- 500 amps. • In arc welding, the voltage is directly related to the length of the arc, and the current is related to the amount of heat input. • Generator: Driven by motor. Generates D.C. • Rectifier: The output of step down transformer is to rectifier to converts A.C. to D.C. • Electrode: Metal stick to create arc. A.C.plant: • Simple, less cost, No moving parts, low maintenance cost, no change of polarity. • Gives smoother arc when using high current. • Not suitable for non-ferrous and thin sheets. • Electric shock is more intense. • D.C.Plant • Can be used for ferrous ,non-ferrous & thin sheets • Stable arc, fine settings are possible • Easy of operation, suitable for over head welding. • Safer to use. • More expensive, high maintenance cost, arc blow(arc is forced away from weld point). • Polarity: It indicates the direction of current flow in D.C. In D.C. 2/3 of heat is liberated from + end and 1/3 of heat is liberated from - end. -
SP-TRS-3278 Ultrasonic Welding Eastman Polymers
Ultrasonic welding Eastman polymers Ultrasonic welding Ultrasonic welding is a common method for joining plastic parts without using adhesives, solvents, or mechanical fasteners. Ultrasonic welding equipment operates on the principle of converting electrical energy to mechanical vibratory energy. This vibratory energy is transmitted to plastic parts by a specially designed horn that also applies pressure to force the parts together. The high-frequency vibration generated by the welding apparatus creates frictional heat that softens the plastic to create a bond at contact points between plastic parts. Ultrasonic welding offers several advantages, including: Figure 1. Typical joint design* • Environmentally safe; no chemicals used • Aesthetically pleasing joints • Excellent product uniformity • Rapid bonding; higher productivity • Process adaptable to multiple tasks (inserting, swaging, etc.) • Low energy consumption • Computer-controlled process; suitable for statistical Textured Groove process control surface • Provides hermetic seals Some plastics soften and bond more easily than others, but by selecting the appropriate welding equipment and parameters, strong bonds can be obtained with most amorphous plastics. Parameters that significantly affect weld strength and appearance include vibration frequency and amplitude, horn pressure, weld time, and joint design. Step joint Joint designs Figure 2. Additional weld joint designs* There are multiple joint designs commonly used in the plastics industry, and the appropriate joint design should be utilized based on the application and product end use. A simple energy-director joint provides a small raised ridge of polymer between two flat surfaces to be joined. As the parts are pressed together by the vibrating welder horn, the ridge softens and flows over the width of the joint to create a bond. -
