Welcome
Dear Students and Staff!
Wish you all a happy and prosperous Diwali!
The department of Mechanical engineering of PSNA College of
Engineering and Technology, Dindigul is delighted to bring out this
newsletter for the staff and student community.
Collaboration between the college and industry is vital role for teaching and
learning of any engineering program. By affirming this truth, the department
of Mechanical Engineering has been organizing a series of programs like
International Technical Seminars, Research Symposium, talks on ongoing
research activities and other related topics from distinguished experts to give
our students a practical insight into Mechanical engineering,
As a first step, we bring out the details of the events that were hosted
in the Mechanical Engineering department since June 2014 to 2015.
We thank our management, Principal, HOD, staff and students for their
sincere support and co-operation in bringing out this successfully.

WELDING
Welding is a process for joining similar metals. Welding joins
metals by melting and fusing. The base metals being joined
the filler metal applied with the help of heat, sometimes with
pressure.
INTRODUCTION TO ARC WELDING
Arc welding was first developed when Nikolai Benardos
presented arc welding of metals using a carbon electrode at the
international exposition of electricity, Paris in 1881, which was
patented together with Stanislaw Olszewski in 1887.

WHAT IS ARC WELDING?
Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power
supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and base
material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use
either direct (dc) or alternating (ac) current, and consumable or
non-consumable electrodes.

GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING:
It is a manual welding process that uses a non-consumable
electrode made of tungsten, an inert or semi inert gas mixture,
and a separate filler material.
IWS BULLETIN October 1,

VOLUME 2 23
PLASMA ARC WELDING:
This type of arc welding also uses tungsten electrode but uses
plasma gas to make the arc. The arc is more concentrated than
the GTAW arc, and this method can be used on wider range of
material thicknesses than can the GTAW process and is much
faster, except magnesium

UNDERWATER ARC WELDING:
It’s a type of welding where the diver has a tank of nitrogen or
argon and blows a big bubble of gas around the spot that is
welded. Inside the bubble, welding is performed in usual
fashion. Some welding techniques do not require gas bubble
because the burning electrode produces enough gas. Water
proof electrodes are required.
IWS BULLETIN October 1,

VOLUME 2 25
WELDING POWER SUPPLY:
Arc welding usually requires high current (over 80 amperes)
and it can need above 12, 000 amperes in spot welding. Lower
current can also be used.

Underwater, directly exposed to the wet environment. In dry
welding a dry chamber is created near the area to be welded
and the welder does the job by staying inside the chamber.

LIGHT AND HEAT RADIATION:
V Electric arc welding and cutting processes produce three
forms of radiation:
Ø ULTRA VIOLET (UV)
Ø VISIBLE
Ø INFRA RED (IR)
v Arc welding therefore presents a greater hazard than fuel
gas processes as these only produce visible and IR radiations .

RADIATION HAZARDS AND EYE INJURY:
V Arc welding and cutting and fuel gas processes can be
damaging to unprotected skin and eyes.
v Erythema and burning of skin.
v Radiation from arc welding includes eye damage.
ø Arc eye(from UV radiation)
ø Cataracts(from UV & IR radiation)
ø Retinal burns(from visible or IR radiation).
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
All installation, operation, maintenance and repair work should
be performed only by qualified people. Electric shocks can kill.
Use dry insulation when welding in damp location. Never dips
the electrode holder in water for cooling. Fumes and gases can
be dangerous to human health. Remove fire hazards well away
from the area of welding.

ADVANTAGES OF ARC WELDING MACHINE:
V It’s simple as comparing to other welding process.
V Cost of equipment is very low.
V Portable welding machine is available.
V Various types of metal and their alloys can be welded.
V Welding can be carried out in any position.
V High deposition of penetration can be achieved.
APPLICATION FOR ARC WELDING:
