WHY STUDY WELDING METALLURGY?

WELDING METHODS AND TECHNIQUES


METALLURGY- The science of metals, their extraction from the ores, purification, alloying,

heat treatment and the working or forming processes.

METALLOTHERMY: - The production of a metal from its oxides by reaction with another metal

at high temperature.

WELDING:-There are two ways in which parts may be joined or fastened together. The first

method employs Mechanical techniques such as Bolting or Riveting; in bolting, the joint strength

is obtained from Frictional Forces that keep nuts in place and from the Shear and Tensile Strength

of the bolt. The second method is to form a bond between the surfaces to be joined. This may be

done by melting the two surfaces together as in Fusion welding, or by flowing a low-melting liquid

into suitable gaps or space as in Brazing & Soldering. Adhesive joints depend for cohesion on Van

der Waal, Polar or other relatively weak Forces, while in bonding metals to non-metals, it may be

necessary to form chemical bonds (Capacitors, AVR, Coil ignition in automobiles)

Welding can also be defined as the action or process of joining two pieces of metals together by

the application of heat, pressure and filler, either separately or in combination. It is binding together

inseparably; uniting closely or intimately, pieces of metal by first heating them to a temperature

above that of recrystallization to cause them to melt together and cooled to form a uniform single

unit of item.

The process of heating pieces of metals above a recrystallization temperature (910⁰C) and then

forging them together is a pressure –welding process that has been practised by blacksmiths for

many centuries even till today; to form useful parts or items. Over times, numerous mechanical

pressure-welding processes have been employed either solely or in combination of fusion welding

to form needed parts or components.


CLASSIFICATIONS OF WELDING PROCESSES & EQUIPMENT

Welding operation can be classified into three forms; (a) Fusion Welding ; in which case there is

a production of pool of weld melt or metal melt, to later solidify to form a unit component (b)

Pressure Welding Process, in which case the components are NOT allowed to form pool of melt

to join but, application of external pressure is used to aid the joining of the pieces together to form

a unit body; (c) Liquid Metal Filler Welding; in which case the two pieces of metals to be joined

are NOT melted but are bonded together by filling the gap or space between them with the melted

fillers,( Electronic soldering and Copper tube brazing
