INFORMATION SHEET 1.1.1
Welding Machine
Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
Enumerate the parts of welding machine
Welding machines are usually classified as constant current (CC) or

constant voltage (CV); a constant current machine varies its output voltage
to maintain a steady current while a constant voltage machine will fluctuate
its output current to maintain a set voltage. Shielded metal arc
welding and gas tungsten arc welding will use a constant current source
and gas metal arc welding and flux-cored arc welding typically use constant
voltage sources but constant current is also possible with a voltage sensing
wire feeder.
The nature of the CV machine is required by gas metal arc welding

and flux-cored arc welding because the welder is not able to control the arc
length manually. If a welder attempted to use a CV machine to weld with
shielded metal arc welding the small fluctuations in the arc distance would
cause wide fluctuations in the machine's output. With a CC machine the
welder can count on a fixed number of amps reaching the material to be
welded regardless of the arc distance but too much distance will cause poor
welding.
A welding machine is a device that provides an electric current to

perform welding. Welding usually requires high current (over 80 amperes)
and it can need above 12,000 amperes in spot welding. Low current can also
be used; welding two razor blades together at 5 amps with gas tungsten arc
welding is a good example. A welding power supply can be as simple as a car
battery and as sophisticated as a high-frequency inverter
using IGBT technology, with computer control to assist in the welding
process.

Tacking
Execute tack welding.
After items to be welded together have been positioned as required, generally

by clamping them on suitable fixtures, tack welds are used as a temporary
means to hold the components in the proper location, alignment, and
distance apart, until final welding can be completed.
In short-production-run manual welding operations, tack welding can be

used to set up the work pieces without using fixtures. Typically, tack welds
are short welds. In any construction, several tack welds are made at some
distance from each other to hold edges together.
An advantage of this provisional assembly procedure is that if the alignment

for final welding is found to be incorrect, the parts can be disassembled
easily, realigned, and tack welded again.
In general, tack welding is performed by the same process that is used for
the final weld. For example, aluminum-alloy assemblies to be joined by
friction stir welding are tack-welded by the same process using a small tool
developed for this purpose. Or electron beam tack welds, created with
reduced power, are used to supplement or replace fixturing and to maintain
the correct shape and dimensions during final electron beam welding.
If the final welding is performed while the elements are still clamped in a
fixture, tack welding must keep the elements in place and resist
considerable stresses, not sufficiently contrasted by clamping devices that
tend to separate the components.

Clean surface and edges of the base metal
Importance of cleaning surface and edges of the base metal
Clean the surface and edges
Welding poses its own unique set of challenges. Clean base plate is
necessary for a welder in order to perform his job easily. Lessen the defects
that may occur and also to avoid porosity. Welding poses its own unique set
of challenges, trying to weld with dirty base and filler metals adds
unnecessary difficulty and can lead to poor weld quality. You also have to
deal with the natural oxidation that takes place. Suitable preparation prior
to welding is important - especially when fabrications are required to meet
the weld quality requirements of industry. Dirty welding plate can lead to
poor weld quality. The base plate needs to be clean so the current will flow
unto it.
Cleaning the surface and edges:
o In order for a welder perform his job easily.

o To lessen the defects that may occur to the weld
o Avoid poor welding
o To keep away from natural oxidation that might take place.
o Ground will easily flow through it
There are key steps you can take in the treatment and preparation of
filler and base metals to ensure that you don’t face problems associated with
dirt, grease and airborne shop dust – as well as the natural oxidation
process that takes place when aluminum is exposed to the air. We’ll cover
these steps and present you with best practices to make sure you’re not
sabotaging your welding processes before you even begin.

Deposit weld bead on a plate
Deposit weld bead on a plate.
Though SMAW is almost exclusively a manual arc welding process,

one notable process variation exists, known as gravity welding or gravity arc
welding. It serves as an automated version of the traditional shielded metal
arc welding process, employing an electrode holder attached to an inclined
bar along the length of the weld. Once started, the process continues until
the electrode is spent, allowing the operator to manage multiple gravity
welding systems. The electrodes employed (often E6027 or E7024) are
coated heavily in flux, and are typically 71 cm (28 in) in length and about
6.35 mm (0.25 in) thick. As in manual SMAW, a constant current welding
power supply is used, with either negative polarity direct current or
alternating current

feasible or effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels. PPE is needed
when there are hazards present. PPE has the serious limitation that it does
not eliminate the hazard at source and may result in employees being
exposed to the hazard if the equipment fails

Welding Safety

2. Acquire techniques and procedures on how to do single pass groove
joints in flat, horizontal and vertical positions.
We all know that the welder’s responsibility is to produce good quality

weld on metals but safety on workplace should be established first before
the welder could concentrate on the proper techniques and procedures that
can be done in order to produce that good quality weld.
Welding safety
In different workplaces or other companies, safety should be

established first in order to avoid (as much as possible) accidents that could
render injuries or could even cost a life of an employee. In welding, safety
starts on a welder himself and the level of alertness that he possess while
doing a particular task.
A welder is expected to wear the proper clothing needed before welding
and this is called PPE (Welder’s Personal Protective Equipment). PPE is a
type of protective clothing needed before doing any particular task in order
to avoid injuries or damages to the worker. Below are some examples of
Welder’s PPE:
1. Welding Helmet/Mask
2. Welding Jacket (Leather/Denim/Long-sleeves)
3. Welding Gloves
4. Safety Shoes
5. Welding Pants (Leather/Denim)

We all know that for us to weld properly, we need enough supply of
electricity. But be careful, being electrocuted accidentally could risk a life of
a welder so we must also implement safety measures around this situation.
Below are some tips to avoid electric shock during welding.
1. Keep electric cables and connections in good condition
2. Keep work area and clothing dry at all times
3. Position welding machine in a dry location
4. Use the recommended welding cable size only
5. Avoid open circuit voltage
6. Wear PPE. Wear insulated gloves when adjusting the ampere set of a
machine.
Techniques and procedures for multiple pass fillet welding
Fillet weld is any weld place on a fillet joint or a corner joint measuring at 90
degrees. Fillet joint is commonly observed on a T-joint (Tee), a lap joint and
on a corner joint. Tee joints are two pieces of metal perpendicular to each
other. Lap joint is a joint between two overlapping members while a corner
joint is a joint between two metal parts located at right angles to one another

Manipulation of the electrode
There are two kinds of electrode manipulations that can be done on a fillet
welding. First is a stringer bead and the other is called the wave/weave
bead.
A stringer bead is a straight line progression of weld bead without having

the electrode manipulated on a weaving pattern. A wave/weave bead is a
weaving pattern of bead made by weaving the electrode holder on a
particular pattern while depositing the weld bead on a weld metal. There are
several kinds of weave bead and it depends upon the required bead pattern
to be identified by the instructor or a welding engineer if it’s to be done on
job sites.
Factors that affect current voltage, electrodes to be used and measurement

of material preparations are to be demonstrated by the welding instructor in
the welding laboratory.
Techniques and procedures for single/multiple pass groove welding on

flat, horizontal, and vertical position
Groove Welding positions for plates
Groove weld is a type of weld that consists of an opening between two part
surfaces which provides spaces to contain weld metal. It is used on all joints
except lap joints. Groove weld is commonly done on a butt joint which is a
joint that consists of two members aligned approximatedly as shown below.

ANSWERS FOR DEMONSTRATION WITH ORAL QUESTIONING
Qualification: SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING NC II
WELD CARBON STEEL PLATES MULTIPLE PASS GROOVE

Unit of Competency: JOINTS IN FLAT, HORIZONTAL, AND VERTICAL POSITION
USING SMAW
1. High wind velocity can cause porosities in weld. What must be done to prevent this from
happening?
ANSWER: if welding in windy area cannot be avoided, wind shield or barrier should be
installed.
2. What are the welding parameters that must be considered to producequality weld?
ANSWER: current setting, length of arc, angle of electrode, manipulation of electrode(weave or
stringer) and speed of travel.
3. What is the ideal length of the arc? What is the effect too long arc?
ANSWER: arc length is not exceed the diameter of the core of the electrode.
4. What is the effect on the weld if the electrode is held too closely to the material being
welded?
ANSWER: holding the electrode too closely decreases welding voltage, creating an erratic arc
that may extinguish itself or cause the rod to freeze, as well as produces a weld bead with a high
crown.
5. How would you prevent welding-related injuries?

ANSWER: use appropriate welding PPE’s and awareness to safety practices.
6. How would you avoid electric shock during welding?
ANSWER: make sure all electrical connections are tight, clean and dry. Keep cables and
connectors in good condition at all times. Wear insulated gloves when adjusting equipment.
7. What should be done to prevent warpage and didtortion?
ANSWER: do not overweld, use intermittent welding, use back step welding, use clamps, jigs
and fixtures to lock parts position
8. What causes warpage and distortion?
ANSWER: distortion in weld results from the expansion and contraction of the adjacent base
metal during the heating and cooling cycle of the welding process.
9. What is the cause of poor penetration and incomplete fusion?
ANSWER: insufficient root gap, too slow welding current, too slow travel speed and incorrect
torch angle
10. What is the stress-relieving and why is it performed?
ANSWER: stress-relieving means controlled heating of the weldment to followed by control
cooling. Stress-relieving is one way of removing shinkrage forces after welding in order to minimize
distortion.
