Introduction :
WHAT IS WELDING ?
Welding is the most economical and efficient way to join metals permanently. It is the only way of joining
two or more pieces of metal to make them act as a single piece. Welding is vital to our economy. It is
often said that over 50% of the gross national product of the U.S.A. is related to welding in one way or
another. Welding ranks high among industrial processes and involves more sciences and variables than
those involved in any other industrial process.

Question & Answer.
What the angle of the torch when welding in the flat position is?
-The angle of the torch in welding on the flat position is about 30-40 to the base metal.
What must be do when adjusting the flame for cutting:
Open the oxygen valve on the torch body completely. Have the valve on the cutting head closed.
Purge the cutting oxygen passage by briefly pressing the cutting lever.
Start the flame with acetylene only.
Increases acetylene until there is no soot.
Slowly open the oxygen valve on the cutting head and adjust for a natural or oxidizing flame,
depending on the thickness of the metal being cut. There will be inner cones in all of the preheat
flame.
Conclusion :
At the end of this project, we learn how to weld a two steel plates with properly procedures and safety by
using oxy acetylene and arc welding. For example, the used of long gloves and aprons protect us from
being injured by spark of the welding process. Moreover, we must use a goggles to ptotect our eyes from
the light produces while we welding. With safety features that have been applied during welding process,
no serious accident will be happen. Last but not least, we have managed to complete this task given
within 4 weeks although the period given is too short for newbie student like us.
