INTRODCTION TO WELDING PROCESS
-
- Heat Input = Amps x Volts/ Travel Speed x 1000 kj/min.
- Unit of Travel speed is mm/sec.
- Heat input is mainly influenced by Travel speed.
- Travel Speed id\s mainly influenced by Welding Process & Welding Position.
- Vertical -Up (PF) position is Highest Heat Input Position.
- Vertical -Down (PG) position is Lowest Heat Input Position
- S.A.W Process is a Highest Heat Input Process
- MIG/MAG & TIG Process is a Lowest Heat Input Process
- Arc length is directly proportional to Arc Voltage.
- Penetration Depth is directly proportional to CURRENT.
- Bead Width is directly proportional to VOLTAGE.
- Polarity used for S.A.W, M.I.G / M.A.G & M.M.A Welding Process is D.C.E.P and 2/3rd heat is produced at electrode and melts it to forms a weld pool.
- Polarity used for T.I.G Welding Process is D.C.E.N 1/3rd heat is produced at electrode and it doesn’t melt.
- A.C Current is used for Welding Aluminum using T.I.G Welding Process.
- Constant Current Power Supply (or) DROPING CHARACTERISTIC is used in M.M.A & T.I.G welding Process
- Constant Voltage power Supply (or) FLAT CHARACTERISTIC is used in S.A.W & MIG/MAG Welding Process.
- Deflection of arc due to magnetic attraction is called arc blow.
- If arc blow is a problem in MMA / SAW then use AC Current.
