WELDING PROCESSES
MIG-MAG
The process of continuous seam welding is widely used for high productivity and its applicability to systems automazione.E 'an autogenous welding process in which the arc strikes between the workpiece and the wire fusibile.Il wire feeding device provides a continuous feed into the bathroom (as opposed to the stick electrode which, when completed, should be replaced with a new wand). The protective gas is supplied directly to the molten bath, a gas holder.
Schema technology welding solid wire and flux cored wire
For proper execution of the welding torch to be positioned correctly or, more precisely, the thread saldatura.Nei two following diagrams indicate the position and advancement on the basis of welding technology and welding solid wire cored on a corner joint.
mode of transfer of material filler.
By welding equipment, and thus setting the parameters of voltage (V) and current (A), can be obtained under different conditions of material transfer.
Spray Arc (Arc Spray): continuous stream of droplets, free. Used with high current values, good quality and good appearance, condition stable arc.
Globular Arc (Arc Globular): free large drops with lower frequency, obtained with current and medium-sized detachment of the drop due to the magnetic field gap, welding is not fair to look. Short Arc (Short Arc): posting big drops that short-circuit, obtained with low currents, used for welding in position and fill.

coalesce almost all types of ferrous and non ferrous metals also.
It has a high quality of welds.
used in all welding positions.
does not produce slag.
High productivity.

TIG
General
The TIG welding process is a process of fusion welding, autogenous. The electric arc strikes between the infusible electrode, which is under protective gas, and the material being welded. The electrode of the TIG is Tungsten, high melting temperature material with excellent emission properties termoionica.Il TIG welding process can be manual: with a length of arc welding and electrode-controlled, semi-automatic: arc length and electrode controlled by the machine, while the welder moves the electrode along the seam, automatic, all operations are carried out by Robot.
It has a stable arc that allows good control of the weld pool. However, the TIG is a very productive process used to thin. It can weld all types of metals and nonmetals using as filler or even a stick, thanks to a lot of energy focused arc, just to weld the two ends side by side, without using filler.
ElettrodiGli electrodes used for the TIG welding process are of four types: pure tungsten electrodes
tungsten electrodes with added oxide tungsten electrodes thoro
addition of zirconium
tungsten electrodes with tungsten stripes thorite
Especially in the welding of Titanium, you should take extra precautions to help protect the cord from any surface oxidation. The "shoe" is an additional protective gas covering a stretch of the cord being raffreddamento.Nel case of solder of stainless steel tubes, the first pass should be protected by creating an inert atmosphere inside the tube while in the case of butt welds, you should create a support gas on the reverse. These additional protections
gas, as mentioned, are all used to protect the weld from possible attacks of the weather.
Benefits
E 'can weld almost all types of ferrous and non ferrous materials also
high quality of welds used in all welding positions
does not produce slag
Disadvantages
Reduced protection of the bath electrode compared to procedures or under flow
sensitive to air currents
high cost of gas protective
Low productivity
technique difficult to learn
Typical defects of the process TIGI types of typical defects we're going to have with the TIG process are:
oxidation of tungsten inclusions cord to the back (if they have not been taken care of gas protection).
inclusions of gas, due to poor cleaning of the edges and poor operating technique in the movement of the torch and baton.
Contamination of protective gas.

COATED ELECTRODE
General principles
welding with SMAW welding process is the most widely used both in mechanical engineering as a metal structure is suitable for welding of almost all ferrous and nonferrous metal alloys other than aluminum alloys. This is a very versatile procedure which is produced an electric arc between an electrode "Consumable", suitably covered, and the workpiece. The drops of molten metal from the electrode is transferred through the arc, the weld pool and gases from the coating to protect the atmosphere. The molten slag that floats above the weld pool protects it from the atmosphere during the welding process solidificazione.Il electrode is well suited for welding in all positions and, thanks to the simplicity of the equipment, for use in many situations, at the construction site or in confined spaces. In the face of operational advantages, however, we have a poor productivity record, in fact, the electrode has a reduced length and must be frequently replaced.

Oxyacetylene
GENERAL '
E' a process of autogenous welding by flame. The gas used is a mixture of acetylene and oxygen that can reach a very high temperature (3030 ° C). Despite being a fairly simple welding system, widely used in workshops and at site because the necessary equipment is not bulky and allows for welding in awkward positions, rather, on pipes in the first passata.Con this technique has a good distribution of heat on the surface to be welded also the flame is rigid and thus well against orientabile.Di 'widespread and high heat, heat affected zones generates very large and high thermal shrinkage. The process shall be limited to the welding of reduced thickness, is then used for welding of thin pipes not shown and sheets of between 6 and 8 mm.
EQUIPMENT
oxygen and acetylene cylinders are provided by the oxyacetylene connected by hoses equipped with valves security. The flow is controlled by valves located at the end of the handle, in which the gases are mixed in required proportions and then pass through the nozzle and the nozzle exit: it is interchangeable so you can adjust the size voluto.La the type of flame combustion of the two gases is the exit of the torch, the flame must be adjusted according to material to be welded to the protective gas atmosphere to be applied.
The flame can be divided into three zones:
A first area is immediately adjacent to the nozzle of the torch, here is the fact that the first combustion primary combustion. Acetylene reacts with oxygen supplied from the tank and form carbon monoxide and hydrogen, at this stage, do not participate in any reaction. In this first reaction, because of the insufficient amount of oxygen that comes out of the torch, there is complete combustion of acetylene, and the exothermic reaction provides about one third of the total heat generated by the complete combustion of acetylene. The primary comustione is visible as a small cone called "sting" in which the temperature is about 1200 ° C.
The complete combustion occurs in the immediate vicinity of the dart with oxygen around the flame itself resulting in a secondary combustion which points to a new area called the flame reducing zone, here the carbon monoxide released dall'acetilene again reacts with 'oxygen, which this time comes from the environment to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen, also released in the first stage, reacts with atmospheric oxygen to form water. Although these reactions are exothermic and are responsible for two thirds of the total heat generated by the complete combustion of acetylene. In this area the temperature is about 3100 ° C.
Development heat and keeps the final products at high temperature resulting in more light gases and vapors produced until, with the drop in temperature the effect wears off, this area is called plume, and is characterized by a temperature to 2400 ° C.
