Welding Flashcards
what is welding
a joining process between 2 or more parts become 1 at the contact surface
what are the limitations of welding
most operations are preformed manually
ustlilize high energy/ dangeourous
causes permanent bonds
can have defects that are difficult to detect
need to be cleaned well to get good welds
what are some of the ways welding can be dangerous
high tempurature of metals
feuls are a fire/explosion hazard
electriclal shock
UV radiation emitted in arc welding is harmful
what are the 5 types of welded joints
butt
corner
lap
tee
edgeq
what is fillet welds
the most common type in arc/oxyfeul welding
what are groove welds
welds that require edges of the parts to be shaped into a groove
what are plug/slot welds used for
filling holes/slots in the top plate
what are the 2 types of welding processes
fusion
solid state
what are the parts of a fusion weld
fusion zone
weld interference
heat affected zone
what is arc welding
coalesence of material sis achieved by the heat from an arc between an electrode and the peice
what are the 2 types of arc welding electrodes
consumable
non conconsumabel
what is the diference between a consumable / non consumable electrode
consumed- a sourse of filler
non consumable- filler metal must be added sepretly
what is flux
a substance that prevents formation of oxides and other contaminates
What is Sheilded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
uses consumable electrode
also called stick welding
What is Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
uses consumable barw metal wire as an electrode
known as Metal inert Gas
