  1. Unit 10 Welding, Brazing and Cutting

  2. Safety Principles • General safety rules apply in ANY shop! • Always observe all rules and procedures given by instructor • Proper PPE should be worn at ALL TIMES • Jeans with no frays • Cotton long sleeved shirt • Close toed shoes/boots • Safety glasses and helmets • Know where fire extinguishers are located in case of emergency Jupiter Images

  3. Fire Extinguisher Classifications

  4. Basic Welding Processes • SMAW • Stick welding, use electrode to melt metals • Typically the first process learned • Used for repair and maintenance • Popular in agricultural industry • GMAW • Gas metal arc welding, use wire fed through MIG gun • Relies on inert gas • More expensive • Superior results Jupiter Images

  5. Basic Welding Processes • GTAW • Gas tungsten arc welding (another form of GMAW) • Slower • High quality welds • OFW • Oxyfuel welding (fusion and braze) • Electrode rod with base metal Jupiter Images

  6. Electrode Rods and Wires • ElectrodeRods • Welding rod coated with flux • Different rods are available • Differ in tensile strength and flux coating • Electrode Wires • Packed in spools • Classified differently • Differ in tensile strength Jupiter Images

  9. Welding Positions

  10. Welding Positions

  11. Welding Joints

  12. Welding Joints

  13. Oxyacetylene and Plasma Arc Cutting • Oxyacetylene cutting- • Used on ferrous metal (steel) • Portable, useful in agricultural industry • Plasma cutting- • Stationary or handheld • Can be run by computer • Plasma Arc SAFETY • Higher voltage • Never use in damp, wet areas • Use ear plugs/muffs • Proper PPE Jupiter Images
