Carbon Arc Welding Introduction to Carbon Arc Welding Carbon Arc Welding is welding process is a type of arc welding process that uses a carbon electrode to produce an electric arc between the electrode and the metal workpiece. The heat generated by the arc melts the metal and creates a …

Submerged Arc Welding Introduction Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a type of welding process that is widely used in various industrial applications for welding thicker sections of metal. The process involves the use of a consumable electrode, a flux that creates a protective shield around the weld, and a welding …

Welding Defects and their Types Introduction Welding defects are unacceptable imperfections that occur during the welding process. Weld quality depends on the mechanical properties of the materials, it can be quantitative or qualitative. Mostly “fit-for-service” approach is used i.e., the fabricated weld can perform the intended service. But in some …

Arc Welding Process and its Types Arc Welding Process Arc welding is the best example of fusion welding. It uses an electric arc that generates heat reaching temperature up to 6000 degrees Fahrenheit. High temperature is involved in melting and fusing the materials. Fusion arc welding has another advantage that …

Arc Welding Introduction Arc welding is a method of joining two or more metal parts together by using an electric arc to heat the surfaces to be joined. The electric arc is created between an electrode and the workpiece, which melts the metal and forms a weld pool. The weld …
