Study Notes
Welding Processes and Techniques
- Arc Welding: Achieves fusion through electric arcs, with or without filler metal.
- Braze Welding: Uses a nonferrous alloy for soldering at lower temperatures, ideal for repairs on cast and malleable iron.
- Fusion Welding: Melts joint surfaces above the base metal's melting temperature, requiring no pressure.
- Forge Welding: Joint surfaces heated to a plastic state, followed by applied pressure.
Joint Types and Welding Passes
- Backfire: A retreating flame that can cause noise and flameout.
- Butt Joint: Connection between two plates or parts lying in the same plane.
- Lap Joint: Formed by overlapping members.
- Plug Weld: A weld filling a hole in one plate of a lap joint, partially or fully.
- Backing Pass: Weld deposited behind the root pass for strength.
Welding Components and Tools
- Filler Metal: Added material during welding, including electrodes or rods.
- Base Metal: The material being welded or cut.
- Coated Electrode: Electrodes covered with flux that produce protective gas upon burning.
- Bare Electrode: An uncoated filler metal electrode.
- Welding Transformer: Provides necessary voltage for welding operations.
Welding Characteristics
- Weld Bead: The deposit formed during welding.
- Weave Bead: Created by transverse oscillation of the rod.
- Bevel Angle: The angle between the prepared edge and a plane perpendicular to the metal's surface.
Welding Issues and Defects
- Blowhole: Gas pockets formed in welds due to trapped moisture.
- Porosity: Presence of voids in metal or welds.
- Crater: A hole at the end of an arc welding bead.
- Toe Crack: Cracks at the edges of a weld.
- Underbead Crack: Located in the heat affected zone, typically not reaching the surface.
Welding Techniques and Settings
- Forehand Welding: Gas welding technique with the flame directed along the weld.
- Postheating: Adding heat after welding to prevent cracking by slowing cooling rates.
- Preheating: Heating base metals before welding to slow cooling and reduce cracking.
- Manual Welding: Entire welding operation performed by hand.
- Machine Welding: Involves equipment operated under supervision.
Welding Standards and Procedures
- Procedure Qualifications: Approval of a welding procedure by authorities based on testing standards.
- Weld Certification: Documentation indicating a welder's compliance with prescribed standards.
- Reducing Flames: Oxyacetylene flames with excess acetylene, resulting in a carbonizing effect.
- Residual Stress: Stress remaining in welded structures from the welding process.
- Reaction Stress: Created by restrained parts during cooling after welding.
Miscellaneous
- Backing Strip: Flat bar strips placed behind the root for thermal capacity.
- Spot Welding: Joining of thin plates at points through heat from resistance.
- Slugging: Adding unspecified metal pieces resulting in non-compliant joints.
- Spatter: Metal particles expelled during welding that do not contribute to the weld.
- Neutral Flame: A stable flame balanced in oxygen and acetylene.
These study notes encapsulate critical terms and concepts related to welding practices, joint types, processes, and possible imperfections, aiding in the comprehension of the subject matter.
