I. Aim/Objective

Aim

To make a Lap welding joint by arc welding.

Objective

1. Study of different welding techniques and understand importance of arc welding.

2. To understand importance of edge preparation in arc welding
3. Recognize the type of metal, electrode, and tools that are used in arc welding.
4. Recognize types of arc welding and steps to create the arc welding.
5. To know safety measure when use the welding machine along the welding process
II. Introduction

Arc welding is a fusion welding process in which welding is done by producing heat from an
electric arc between the work and electrode. The arc between the two terminals produces heat to
melt the metal. If two pieces of metal that are to be joined are placed so that they touch or almost
touch one another. The arc from the electrode is directed at this junction, the heat generated by
the arc (approx. 3600ºC) causes a small section of the edges of both pieces to melt. These molten
portions along with the molten portions of the electrode flow together. As the arc column is
moved, the molten puddle solidifies joining the two pieces of metal with a combination of
electrode and base metal.
