Welding Safety and Precautions
Perform welding only in designated areas.
Operate welding equipment after getting training from the instructor.
Wear protective clothing to cover all exposed areas of the body for protection sparks,
hot spatter, and radiation.
Protective clothing should be dry and free of holes, grease, oil, and other substances
which may burn.
Wear flame proof gauntlet gloves, a leather apron, and high-top shoes to provide good
protection against sparks and spatter.
Wear specifically designed, leak-proof helmets equipped with filter plates to protect
against ultraviolet, infrared, and visible radiation.
Never look at the flash, even for an instant.
Keep your head away from the plume by staying back and to the side of the work.
Never touch the job with bare hand just after the welding.
Use your helmet and avoid inhalation of fume.
Make sure there is good local exhaust ventilation to keep the air in your breathing
zone clear.
Don’t perform welding in wet areas, or with wet hands.
If others are working in the area be sure they are warned and protected against arcs,
fumes, sparks, and other welding hazards.
Don’t coil the electrode cable around your body.
Ground both the frame of the welding equipment and metal being welded.
Check for leaks in gas hoses using an inert gas.
Check area around you before welding to be sure no flammable material or degreasing
solvents are in the welding area.
Keep a fire watch in the area during and after welding to be sure there are no
smoldering materials, hot slag or live sparks which could start a fire.
Locate the nearest fire extinguisher before welding.
Deposit all scraps and electrode butts in proper waste container to avoid fire and toxic
fumes.

Oxy-acetylene Gas Welding
• In oxy-fuel gas welding the heat is obtained from the combustion of a fuel gas such as
acetylene in combination with oxygen
• The process is a fusion welding process wherein the joint is completely melted to obtain the
fusion.
• The heat produced by the combustion of gas is sufficient to melt any metal and as such is
universally applicable
• The fuel gas generally used is acetylene because of the high temperature generated in the
flame. This process is called oxy-acetylene welding
Equipment
Oxy-acetylene Gas Welding Equipment
1. Welding torch & tip
2. An acetylene cylinder – 15.5 bar, red or maroon
3. An oxygen cylinder – 125 bar. Blue or black
4. Pressure regulator – Cylinder pressure to delivery pressure
5. Pressure gauge- One shows cylinder pressure & the other shows the working or
delivery pressure
6. Rubber hoses - black/green hose for oxygen & red/orange hose for acetylene
7. Safety devices – Goggle, hand gloves, helmet, apron, sleeves, shoes etc.

GAS WELDING FLAMES (Based on Gas Ratio)
The maximum temperature of the oxy-acetylene flame is 3100-3500 oC.
Centre of heat concentration is near the extreme tip of the white cone.
Inner Cone:
2C2H2 + 2O2 (cylinder) = 4 CO + 2H2 + heat
Outer envelope:
4CO + 2H2 + 3O2 = 4 CO2 + 2H2O + heat
1. Neutral Flame: (Gas ratio is 1:1)
2. Carburizing or Reducing Flame: ( Gas ratio 0.95 to 1)
3. Oxidizing Flame: (Gas ratio 1.15 to 1.5)
Advantages of Oxy-acetylene Gas Welding:
The equipment is inexpensive, simple and is easily portable.
Useful for welding light metals such as automobile bodies and repair works.
A large variety of material can be welded.
Welds can be produced at reasonable cost.
Compared to electric arc welding this provides greater flexibility with respect to heat impact
and cooling rates.
Disadvantages of Oxy-acetylene Gas Welding:
Equipment must always be handled carefully as in certain circumstances acetylene is
explosive as oxygen when used in an oily atmosphere (such as an old dirty garage floor pit).
A high temperature flame from a hand held torch is dangerous when handled carelessly.
It is much slower than electric arc welding and does not concentrate the heat close to the
weld. Thus, the heat treated area is larger, which causes more distortion.
Highly skilled operators are required to produce a good weld.
If electric arc welding is available gas welding is seldom used for work over 3.2mm thick.
The process is not satisfactory for heavy sections

Arc welding
An electric arc is a discharge of electric current across a gap in a circuit
It is sustained by an ionized column of gas (plasma) through which the current flows
To initiate the arc electrode is brought into contact with work and then quickly separated from
it by a short distance
The arc must be shielded because as it hardens the molten metal combines with oxygen and
nitrogen to form impurities that weaken the weld.
The electrodes are usually coated with a flux. This coating forms a gaseous cloud that shields
the molten metal from the atmosphere.
The coating also forms a protective slag. The slag floats on the molten pool and hardens as
the weld cools. This keeps impurities out of the weld.
Arc welding setup
ARC WELDING MACHINE:
AC Arc Welding Machine:
• A step down transformer receives the AC supply between 200 to 440volts and transforms it
to the required low welding voltage in the range of 80 to 100volts.
• A high current of 100 to 400A will be suitable for general arc welding work.
• In AC arc welding, there is no choice of polarity since they change in every cycle.
DC Arc Welding Machine:
• In DC welding, the work-piece is connected to the positive pole of a DC generator and the
electrode to the negative pole in order to melt greater mass of the metal in the base material.
This is called straight polarity.
• When the less heat is required at the base material, the polarity is reversed. This is called
reversed polarity.
• We can select the polarity depending upon the type of the job. Hence, in DC arc welding, it is
possible to melt many metals which require more heat to melt.

ARC WELDING ELECTRODES
Consumable Electrodes: Melt along with the work-pieces & fills the joint (Bare or Coated)
When the bare electrodes are used, the globules of the molten metal while passing from the
electrodes absorb oxygen and nitrogen from the atmospheric air to form non-metallic constituents
which gets trapped in the solidifying weld metal and thereby decreasing the strength of the joint.
Coated Electrodes facilitate:
Protection of molten metal from oxygen and nitrogen of the air by providing a gaseous shield
around the arc and the molten metal pool
To establish & maintain the arc throughout welding
The formation of slag over the joint, thus protects from rapid cooling
Addition of alloying elements
Advantages of Arc Welding:
1. Applicable to an infinite variety of work & can be executed in any position.
2. There is less buckling and warping of the work.
3. It produces strong sound and ductile welds.
4. Satisfactory welds can be produced in heavy & light sections.
5. Low cost process & Low accuracy in setting up required.
6. Excellent joint properties can be obtained in mild, low alloy and stainless steels, nickel and
copper-base alloys.
GENERAL WELDING PROCEDURE
1. Marking and cutting: mark the work-piece as per requirement and cut it with Cut-off saw.
2. Edge Preparation: Edges preparation of the pieces to be joined should be done by grinding
wheel. It may involve beveling or grooving. This is done in order to get the fusion or
penetration through the entire thickness of the member.
3. Checking and setting of welding machine: check the welding machine and do proper
current setting (for arc welding); check the cylinder regulator pressure, hose pipe and blow
pipe (for gas welding).
4. Safety Devices: Goggles & shields to protect the eyes, Apron to prevent the sparks and flying
globules of molten metal, shoes, hand gloves etc.
5. Initial Weld: Initial welding spot are done at the opposite corners of the joint to secure the
pieces together.
6. Intermediate and Final Welding: The weld joint is formed through various weaving
movements (weld beads). During this process, filler metal and a suitable flux are used. After
the intermediate run of welding, final run is taken.
7. Removal of Excess Material: Extra material on the weld surface can be removed using tongs
and chipping hammer. The weld is allowed to cool and then cleaned.
