  1. SMAW Shielded Metal Arc Welding

  2. OFW/OFC • OXY FUEL WELDING • OXY FUEL CUTTING

  3. Purge • To blow or clean out the lines on the Oxy/Acetylene setup

  4. Flux • Powdered coating around the electrode used in SMAW process. • 1) Cleans metal/weld while welding • 2) Cools Metal/weld/electrode while welding • 3) Stabilizes the arc while welding • 4) Keeps out atmospheric gases from the molten puddle

  5. Electrode • Flux covered conductive rod used as filler in the SMAW process

  6. Slag • Protective coating over completed weld made up of burnt flux, impurities that have rose to the top of weld which aid in the cooling process.

  7. Crater • Indentation in the weld (below base metal) usually happens at the end of the weld

  8. Arc Length • Distance between the tip of the electrode and the base metal. Also known as Arc Gap. • Long Arc = large Gap • Short Arc = Small Gap • Shorter the Gap = Cooler the Arc • Longer the Gap = Hotter the Arc

  9. Rod Angle • Angle the electrode is held from the base metal • 1)Base Angle (BA) • 2)Direction of Travel Angle (DOTA)

  10. Porosity • Gas Pocket in/on the weld that is a defect in the weld. • Long arc will cause • Dirty base metal • Broken flux from the rod.

  11. Fusion • Combining or joining of two materials

  12. Penetration • Depth of Fusion

  13. Ductility • Ability of metal to be bent or stretched without breaking • 1) Rolled • 2) Bent • 3) Stretched

  14. Alloy • What metal is made up of (Elements) • 1) Periodic Table • Zinc • Magnesium • Iron

  15. Flashback/Backfire • Hissing or Popping sound from tip of torch caused by gas and flame going back into the tip. • Tip to close • Dirty Tip • Malfunction of equipment

  16. Amps • The measure of Electrical Flow • 1) electrons traveling • 2) Water running out of a garden hose would be compared to Amps • 3) Water Flow/Electrical Flow

  17. Volts • Measure of Electrical Pressure • 1) Force of electrons • 2) Compared to your finger over a running garden hose to generate more pressure. • 3) water pressure/Electrical pressure

  18. Puddle • Molten metal that follows the electrode, this solidifies to create the weld.

  19. Arc Flash/Flash Burn • Dangerous lights produced during Arc Welding that damage your eyes/skin if not protected with shaded/filtered lens or protective clothing. • Dangerous lights: Ultraviolet/Infrared • Arc Flash: Burns unprotected eyes • Flash Burn: Burns unprotected skin • SMAW <125 amps shade 10

  33. B. Welding Procedures (Cont.) • b. A tapping movement is where the electrode is quickly tapped on the surface of the metal to prevent it from sticking to the base metal.

  34. 4 Things Required for a Good Weld • Amp Setting : Heat and (proper current type) • Travel Speed • Rod Angle: (Base Angle/Direction of Travel Angle) • Arc Length: Gap Should Equal Diameter of Electrode

  35. B. Welding Procedures (Cont.) • 8. There are two methods used in starting the arc. • A striking movement is similar to striking a match.

  36. Welding Positions • Flat • Horizontal • Vertical: V Up/V Down (v up Gives deeper penetration) • Overhead

  37. Flame Types

  38. Oxygen • Odorless Gas • Colorless Gas • Line Colors Green • Right Handed Threads on Fittings

  39. Types of Combustible Gases • 3 types commonly Used for Fuel in Oxy/Fuel Welding and Cutting • Acetylene • Propane • Mapp Gas (methylacetylene-propadienepropane)

  40. acetylene • Colorless Gas • Garlic Odor • Unstable after 15psi Line Pressure • Absorbed into Acetone (cork) to allow higher pressures in Tank • Red Colored Hoses w/ Left Handed Threads

  41. Duty Cycle • The amount of time a welding machine can be operated continuously • 70% Duty Cycle= 70% of an hour • 70% Duty Cycle = 7 minutes every 10 min

  42. Polarity • DC+ DC- • DCEP DCEN • Reverse Polarity Straight Polarity
