OxyFuel or OxyAcetylene Gas Welding:
OxyFuel Gas Welding is a term used to describe any welding process that uses a fuel gas with Oxygen.The oxy-acetylene flame is made by mixing oxygen and acetylene gases in a special welding torch or blowpipe, producing, when burned, a heat of 6,300 degrees, which is more than twice the melting temperature of the common metals. Oxygen and acetylene (typically), to produce the flames. Filler Metals which may be added to the joints while molten in order to give the weld sufficient strength and proper formChemical powders, called fluxes, which assist in the flow of metal and in doing away with many of the impurities and other objectionable features.

OxyFuel Gas Welding:
Torch Practice. The actual work of welding and cutting requires preliminary preparation in the form of heat treatment for the metals, including preheating, annealing and temperingOxygen, the gas which supports the rapid combustion of the acetylene in the torch flame, is one of the elements of the air. The equipment used for oxyacetylene welding consists of a source of oxygen and a source of acetylene from a portable or stationary outfit, along with a cutting attachment or a separate cutting torch.
![Page 10: Fusion-Welding and Solid State Welding Processes Team 6: Christopher Chavez Steve De La Torre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815737550346895dc4da13/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
OxyFuel Gas Welding:
This apparatus used in gas welding consists basically of a torch, two pressure regulators and twin flexible hoses.The regulators are attached to the fuel and to the oxygen sources. The regulators are attached to the tanks and drops the pressure from about 21000 kPa (3000 lbf/in² = 200 atm) to a lower pressure for the torch.
![Page 11: Fusion-Welding and Solid State Welding Processes Team 6: Christopher Chavez Steve De La Torre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815737550346895dc4da13/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
OxyFuel Gas Welding:
(a) General view of and
(b) Cross-section of a torch used in oxyacetylene welding. The acetylene valve is opened first; the gas is lit with a spark lighter or a pilot light; then the oxygen valve is opened and the flame adjusted.
(c) Basic equipment used in oxyfuel-gas welding. all threads on acetylene fittings are left-handed, whereas those for oxygen are right-handed. Oxygen regulators are usually painted green, acetylene regulators red.

OxyFuel Gas Welding:
Filler Metals• Filler rods or Wire, Copper
alloy filler rods and fluxes enable the joining of many
base metals. They are especially useful onsteel and cast iron.
Flux• The flux is to retard
oxidation of the surface of the parts being welding by generating a gaseous shield

OxyFuel Gas Welding:
Flames•Neutral flame•Welding is generally carried out using the neutral flame setting which has equal quantities of oxygen and acetylene. •Oxidizing Flame•The oxidising flame is obtained by increasing just the oxygen flow rate •Carburizing Flame•The carburising flame is achieved by increasing acetylene flow in relation to oxygen flow.

Arc Welding Process:
The term arc welding applies to a large and varied group of processes that use an electric arc as the source of heat to melt and join metals. In arc welding processes, the joining of metals, or weld, is produced by the extreme heat of an electric arc drawn between an electrode and the workpiece, or between two electrodes.
Metal Electrodes. In bare metal-arc welding, the arc is drawn between a bare or lightly coated consumable electrode and the workpiece. Filler metal is obtained from the electrode.
![Page 17: Fusion-Welding and Solid State Welding Processes Team 6: Christopher Chavez Steve De La Torre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815737550346895dc4da13/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Arc Welding Process:
Various Types of Arc Welding•Nonconsumable-electrode or Gas Tungsten Arc
•GTAW or tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is a manual welding process that uses a non-consumable electrode made of tungsten, an inert or semi-inert gas mixture, and a separate filler material. Especially useful for welding thin materials such as Stainless Steel and light metals. •Used on Bicycle, aircraft and naval applications.
•Plasma Arc•PAW is an extension of the GTAW process. The arc is formed between an electrode (which is usually but not always made of a sintered tungsten) and the workpiece. The key difference from GTAW is that in PAW, by positioning the electrode within the body of the torch, the plasma arc can be separated from the shielding gas envelope.

Arc Welding Process:
•Shielding Metal Arc•The arc is drawn between a covered consumable metal electrode and workpiece. •The electrode covering is a source of arc stabilizers, gases to exclude air, metals to alloy the weld, and slags to support and protect the weld.• Shielding is obtained from the decomposition of the electrode covering.• Pressure is not used and filler metal is obtained from the electrode.• Shielded metal arc welding electrodes are available to weld carbon and low alloy steels; stainless steels; cast iron; aluminum, copper, and nickel, and their alloys

Arc Welding Process:
•Gas Metal Arc•In this process, coalescence is produced by heating metals with an arc between a continuous filler metal (consumable) electrode and the workpiece. •The arc, electrode tip and molten weld metal are shielded from the atmosphere by a gas. •Shielding is obtained entirely from an externally supplied inert gas, gas mixture, or a mixture o f a gas and a flux. •The electrode wire for MIG welding is continuously fed into the arc and deposited as weld metal.•Wire diameters 0.05 to 0.06 in. (0.13 to 0.15 cm) are average. Because of the small sizes of the electrode and high currents used in MIG welding, the melting rates of the electrodes are very high. •All commercially important metals such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper can be welded with this process in all positions by choosing the appropriate shielding gas, electrode, and welding conditions.

Arc Welding Process:
•Submerged-Arc•Basically, in submerged arc welding, the end of a continuous bare wire electrode is inserted into a mound of flux that covers the area or joint to be welded. An arc is initiated, causing the base metal, electrode, and flux in the immediate vicinity to melt. The electrode is advanced in the direction of welding and mechanically fed into the arc, while flux is steadily added. The melted base metal and filler metal flow together to form a molten pool in the joint. At the same time, the melted flux floats to the surface to form a protective slag cover.

• Almost any metal can be welded by this process
• Depth-to-width ratios range between 10 and 30
• Distortion and shrinkage are minimal
• Weld quality is good and of very high purity
![Page 29: Fusion-Welding and Solid State Welding Processes Team 6: Christopher Chavez Steve De La Torre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815737550346895dc4da13/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Laser-beam Welding (LBW)

• Preheat the workpiece with fuel gas
• The higher the carbon content of the steel, the higher the preheating temperature
• Cutting takes place after the oxidation (burning) of the steel
![Page 35: Fusion-Welding and Solid State Welding Processes Team 6: Christopher Chavez Steve De La Torre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815737550346895dc4da13/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

• Lamellar Tears develop because of shrinkage of the restrained components of the structure during cooling
• Residual Stresses caused by expansion and contraction of the weld area during heating and cooling
![Page 46: Fusion-Welding and Solid State Welding Processes Team 6: Christopher Chavez Steve De La Torre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815737550346895dc4da13/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Weld Testing
• Destructive testing– Tension test: longitudinal and transverse tension tests
are performed on specimens removed from actual welded joints
– Tension-shear test: used so the shear strength of the weld metal and the location of fracture can be determined
– Bend Test: determines the ductility and strength of welded joints
– Fracture toughness test: use impact testing techniques

• The faying surfaces of the two components are subjected to a static normal force and oscillating shearing stresses.
• Frequency of oscillation is generally between 10kHz and 75kHz
• The shearing stresses cause plastic deformation at the interface of the two components.
• The temperature generated in the weld zone is usually in the range of one-third to one-half of the melting point.
