D. Discussion

Welding is an exciting and rewarding technique for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Using a couple of tools and various types of metals , welders can transform amy piece into
any shape and design they desire , all with sparks flying around in the process. However , in
order to be able to master the art of welding, you need to start the basics and be aware of
the different types of welding processes.
 Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
 Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
 Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
But for now , lets just focus on SMAW or the Shielded Metal Arc Welding also known as
manual metal arc welding , flux shielded arc welding or informally as stick welding. SMAW is
a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay
the weld. The power supply used in SMAW has constant current output, ensuring that the
current remains relatively constant, even if the arc distance and voltage change. To strike
the electric arc, the electrode is brought by into contact with the workpiece by a very light
touch of the electrode to the base metal. The most common quality problems associated
with SMAW include weld spatter, porosity, poor fusion , shallow penetration, and cracking.

 Weld Spatter - while not affecting the integrity of the weld, damages its apperance
and increases cleaning costs.
 Porosity- often not visible without the use of the advanced and non destructive
testing methods, is a serious concern beacause it van potentially weaken the weld.
 Shallow penetration- another detriment to weld strenght can be addressed by
welding speed , increasing the current or using a smaller electrode.

Welding Positions

 flat
 horizontal
 vertical
 overhead

Groove Welds
Use a plasma cutter or a grinder to create beveled edges on thicker materials
measuring more than 3/16", while you can stick with a square groove weld for
thinner metals.
