What are the types of electric arc weld
SMAW
GMAW
GTAW
is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to lay the weld. It’s one of the most widely used welding methods due to its versatility and simplicity.
Smaw or stick welding
Simplest form of welding…
SMAW
Primarily used in large volume production work
It melts both electrode or filler wire and the work metal
GMAW
Gmaw is Formerly called as ______ welding
MIG WELDING
is a type of electric arc welding that uses a non consumable tungsten as an electrode. Filler rod is needed manually (almost in the same manner as the oxyacetylene torch) .
GTAW
2 types of electrodes
Active electrodes
Inert Electrodes
Give me the types of rods
Alternatic Current Arc welding Electrode
Light Coated electrod
Bare electrodes
Pure tungsten Electrodes
Flux Cored Electrodes
Low hydrogen welding electrodes
Smaw welding electrode
Bronze/alloy brazing rods
Carbon electrodes
Consumable electodes
copper electrodes
used extensively by the aircraft industry in both manufacture and repair of aircraft.
It can be used satisfactorily to join all weldable metals, provided that the proper processes and materials are used.
Electric arc welding
direction of welding forward or away from you
Forehand welding
Direction of welding backward or inwards from you
Backhand welding
refers to an electrical pathway that allows current to flow during the welding process. It consists of several components like;
Welding circuit
Converts energy for welding.
Power supply
Holds and conduct current
Electrode
Material being welded
Workpiece
