Joining Processes

It is the process of permanent or temporary joining of two metal pieces with the help of heat or pressure. Two metal parts are assembled by applying an energy source for the formation of a single unit. The obtained joined metals cannot be fragmented easily with the application of any force.

2.8 Advantages of Submerged Arc Welding Cost per unit length of joint is relatively low The arc is under a blanket of flux, which virtually eliminates arc flash, spatter, and fume. • Extremely high deposition rates and welding speeds are possible. • Sound welds are readily made (with good process design and control). High current densities increase weld penetration and decrease the need for edge preparation. High speed welding of thin sheet steels at over 2.5 m/min is possible. Can be easily Automated Minimum welder training is required (relatively unskilled welders can be employed). • Low hydrogen weld deposits can be produced. • The flux acts as a scavenger and deoxidizer to remove contaminants such as oxygen, nitrogen, and sulphur from the molten weld pool. This helps to produce sound welds with excellent mechanical properties. 26 2.9 Limitations of Submerged Arc Welding Initial cost of wire feeder, power supply, controls, and flux-handling equipment is high.
