Welding- Short Notes ( Key properties and Applications )
1. DCSP(Arcwelding):
Usedfor weldingof highthicknessandhighmeltingpointmaterials.
Welddepositionrate isless.
DCRP(ArcWelding):
Usedfor lessthicknessandlowmeltingpointmaterials.
Welddepositionrate ismore.
>>Penetration:DCSP> AC> DCRP
Constantcurrenttype welding: UsedinManual Arc WeldingTechnique.
Constantvoltage type welding: UsedinAutomaticArcWeldingTechnique.
>>Arc BlowhappensinDCarc weldingnotinAC.
ReducingArcBlow:
>> Provide some extramaterial atthe beginningandatthe end of material knownasTab in andTab out.
>> Reduce the intensityof currentatthe beginningandatthe endof w/p.
Material for flux Coating:
>> De-oxidisingelement:graphite,alumina,ferrosilicon,ferro-manganese.
>> Slagformation compound:ironoxide,silicondi-oxide,titaniumoxide,silicaflourandCalcium
fluoride.
