1.0 TITLE
WELDING

2.0 OBJECTIVE
To learn the joining process in which two or more parts are coalesced at their contacting
surfaces by application of heat and/or pressure

3.0 INTRODUCTION
Presents a short description of the experiment background information, the reason for doing
the workshop experiment.

4.0 CONTENTS
Experimental procedure: Apparatus setup, materials used, and procedure during handling the
machinery.
Results and discussion: Present the final product. Measurement error analysis must be shown
and explained. Use SI units only. Discuss your findings; make comparisons with known
information if available. Elaborate on possible sources of errors, defects and sensitivity of the
procedure applied. Propose any potential improvements in the project.
Conclusion: A summary of the main finding based on the results.

5.0 FORMATTING
The report should be about 5-6 pages, written by using Times New Roman, 12 font-size,
justify alignment, 1.5 spacing.
Tables and illustrations should be numbered according to subtopic. For example, for
figure under subtopic 2.0 will be as Figure 2.1 with caption title. Tables and illustrations
should be centred with illustration numbers written one blank line, centered, after the relevant
illustration. Table number written one line, centered, before the relevant table. Leave one
blank lines before the table or illustration.
Authors should appreciate the importance of good-quality illustrations. All graphs and
diagrams should be referred to, for example, Figure 1 in the text. In the text, tables and
figures should be referred to as Figure 1.1 and Table 1.1. A detailed caption should be
provided below each figure according to the following format:

Figure 1.1: A simple 2-D cantilever.

Table 1.1: Minimum values of spacing and edge and end distances

The International System of Units (SI) is to be used; other units can be used only after
SI indications, and should be added in parenthesis.
Equations should be typed, and all symbols should be explained within the manuscript.
An equation should be proceeded and followed by one blank line, and should be referred to,
in the text, in the form Equation (1).

y= A+Bx+Cx 2 (1)

Last point: the references. In the text, the references should be a number within square
brackets, e.g. [3], or [4]–[6] or [2, 3]. The references should be listed in numerical order at
the end of the paper.

7.0 DISCUSSION
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is a common welding method that has been utilised
for more than a century. It is a flexible technique that has a wide range of uses, from
manufacturing and construction to repair and maintenance. SMAWI frequently chosen over
other welding methods due to its case of use, dependability, and affordability.

One of SMAW ‘s key benefits is that it may be employed in challenging situations and
distant areas where other welding methods would not be practical. Additionally, SMAW can
be used to weld a variety of material such as cast iron, steel and stainless steel. It is th perfect
procedure for many industrial applications because of this.

SMAW does have some restrictions, though. For instance, is takes longer than other welding
methods like gas metal are welding (GMAW). Furthermore, SMAW might be more difficult
for inexperienced welders to leam because it demands a high level of proficiency an expertise
to execute properly.

SMAW is still a widely used welding technology despite its drawbacks because of its
adaptability, dependability, and affordability. It is a useful tool for various industries from
shipbuilding to construction, due to its capacity to generate high-quality welds in challenging
conditions.

Finally, SMAW is an effective welding method that has withstood the test of time. While
other welding methods could have certain advantages, SMAW is still a dependable and
affordable choice for many applications. SMAW is a procedure that is well worth taking into
consideration for your welding needs, regardless of whether you are a beginner welder or a
seasoned expert.
