Welding
TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar

Welding involves localized coalescence of two metallic parts at their faying surface. The faying surfaces are the part surface in contact or close proximity that are to be joined. Welding is usually performed on parts made of the same metal but some welding operations can be used to join dissimilar metals

11 Physics of Fusion Welding
Power Density (PD) = P/A P = Power entering the surface (Watt) A = Surface area over which energy is entering Minimum power density required to melt most metals in welding is about 10 W/mm2
High power density and low energy are preferable because 1. Quick melting of base metal or filler metal is crucial 2. To avoid metallurgical damage (Defects) What are the defects that can arise because of prolong heating?
TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar
2014-15 Semester-I
Example-1: Variation of PD 12
A heat source is capable of transferring 3000W to the surface of a metal part. The heat impinges the surface in a circular area, with intensities varying inside the circle. The distribution is as follows: 70% of the power is transferred within a circle of diameter = 5mm, and 90% is transferred within a concentric circle of diameter =12mm. What are the power densities in
(a) the 5mm dia inner circle
(b) 12 mm dia ring that lies around the inner circle
2014-15 Semester-I
13 Physics of Welding
Quantity of heat required to melt a given volume of metal
is the sum of
1. Heat to reach melting point
2. Latent heat of fusion
To a reasonable approximation
Quantity of heat (Um) = KTm2
K: Constant (3.33x10-6) when Kelvin scale is used
Um = Heat required (Joules/mm3)
Tm = Melting temperature
TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar
2014-15 Semester-I
14 Heat transit
Total heat (amount = H)
f1: Heat transfer factor (ratio of the actual heat received by the workpiece and the total heat generated at the source) f2: Melting factor: Fraction of heat received by the workpiece available for melting (This is due to the conduction of heat away from weld zone)
Heat received by workpiece (amount = f1H)
Heat for melting (amount = f1f2H = Hw)
f1H
f2f1H
Hw = f1f2H …………… Hw: net heat available for welding (Joule) For Aluminium f2 is very small and welding becomes difficult…why?
TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar
2014-15 Semester-I
15 Energy Balance in Welding
Heat input for welding (Hw) = Energy needed for welding (Um*V)
Um: Unit energy required to melt unit volume of metal (J/mm3) V: Volume of the metal to be melted (mm3)
Hw = Um*V
RH: Heat generated at the source per unit time
RHw: Rate of heat energy delivered to the weld (J/s)
Rwv : Volume rate of the metal welded (mm3/s)
=Aw*v
Where, Aw: Area of the weld
v: Travel speed of arc or flame
along the weld line
RHw = Um*Rwv = Um*Awv = f1f2RH
Rate balance
TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar
2014-15 Semester-I
Example-2 16
The power source in a particular welding setup is capable of generating 3500 W that can be transferred to the work surface with an efficiency f1=0.7. The metal to be welded is low carbon steel, whose melting temperature, is Tm = 1760K. Melting efficiency, f2 = 0.5. A continuous fillet weld is to be made with a cross-sectional area Aw =20 mm2. Determine the travel speed at which the welding operation can be accomplished

TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar
2014-15 Semester-I
18 Arc Welding
Coalescence of the metals is achieved by the heat from an electric arc between the tip of an electrode and the workpiece to be welded
Electric arc: Discharge of electric current across a gap in a circuit
Electric arc is sustained by plasma (ionized gas)
Touch it and separate it and maintain the distance
Temperature ~ 5500°C
Filler metal is added to increase the strength and volume of the weld metal

Electrode nature
Consumable: Filler metal acts as electrode Non-consumable: W (tungsten rod): Separate filler metal is needed
Wire electrode (Consumable) Non-consumable electrode

20 Arc Shielding
Need: To avoid chemical interaction between molten
metal with O2, H2 and N2.
Shields: Gas blanket or flux or both
1. Gas (as in GMAW/ MAG/ TIG) : Argon, Helium or Mixture of Ar + CO2
2. Flux: Flux forms slag which is to be removed
A. Using a stick coated with flux material (SMAW/ MMAW)
B. Flux can be delivered by pouring granular flux onto the welding operation (submerged AW)
C. Using tubular electrode in which flux is contained in the core (as in the case of Flux-cored AW)
• Provides protective atmosphere for welding
• Stabilizing arc
• reducing spattering

Power source and analysis
Both AC and DC arc are used
f1: Heat transfer factor (ratio of the actual heat received by the workpiece and the total heat generated at the source) f2: Melting factor: Fraction of heat received by the workpiece available for melting (This is due to the conduction of heat away from weld zone)
RHw = Um*Awv = f1f2RH = f1f2E*I E: Voltage (V) I: Current (Amp)
RHw: Rate of heat energy delivered to the weld (J/s)

Oxyfuel Gas Welding
C2H2 + O2 = 2CO +H2 + Heat CO + H2 + 1.5O2 = 2CO2 + H2O + Heat
Acetylene is the fuel and Combustion of C2H2 by O2 generates heat and temperature can reach 34800C.
TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar
2014-15 Semester-I

• Cylinders contain oxygen and acetylene gas at extremely high pressure.
• C2H2 + O2 mixture is flammable and hazardous.
• It can be used for structural sheet metal fabrication, automotive bodies, repair work
• f1 is relatively low because of large spread of flame (0.1 to 0.3)
• Pure C2H2 colorless and odorless gas mixed with commercial acetone (why?).
(Hint: Acetone + Acetylene: Acetylene is unstable beyond 1 atm pressure. And Acetone can dissolve 25 times acetylene…and the cylinder is filled with porous materials such as asbestos…)
OxyAcetylene Welding (OAW)
TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar
2014-15 Semester-I TA 201 Dr. Shashank Shekhar
29
There are three distinct types of oxy-acetylene flames, usually termed:
Neutral
Carburizing (or “excess acetylene”)
Oxidizing (or “excess oxygen” )
The type of flame produced depends upon the ratio of oxygen to acetylene in the gas mixture which leaves the torch tip.

Radiation: Electron Beam Welding
It is a fusion welding process in which heat for welding is provided by a highly focused and high-intensity stream of electrons impinging against the work surface
• The electron bum operates at high voltage to accelerate the electrons
• The power in EBW is not exceptional, but it has high power density
• It is operated in the vacuum chamber to minimize the disruption of the electron beam by air molecules
Disadvantages

2014-15 Semester-I
Radiation: Laser Beam Welding
It is a fusion welding process in which coalescence is achieved by an energy of a highly concentrated, coherent light beam focused on the joint to be welded
• Focuses energy onto a small area
• Produce weld of high quality, deep penetration, and narrow HAZ
• Single pass weld penetration up to 3/4” in steel
• Materials need not be conductive
• No filler metal required • Low heat input produces low
distortion • Does not require vacuum
