    The document discusses five main types of arc welding: shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and submerged arc welding (SAW). For each type, the key advantages and limitations are provided. SMAW offers portability but requires high skill levels. GTAW produces clean welds but has a slow deposition rate. GMAW has a fast deposition rate but more expensive equipment. FCAW also deposits quickly but produces smoke. SAW yields no sparks or smoke but is best for shop use on flat surfaces.

    ASSIGNMENT

    Type of Arc Welding and list down its advantage and limitations.
    • Types of arc welding
    – Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
    – Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
    – Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
    – Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW)
    – Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)

    Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)


     Advantages
    – Equipment flexible and portable
     Power generator can be mounted on trailer or small truck
    – Low equipment cost
    – Low maintenance
    – Suitable for variety of metals
    • Limitations
    – High degree of welder skill required
     Welder continually moves electrode in three directions
    – Time consuming slag removal
     Slag must be removed between each weld pass
    Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
     Advantages

    – Cleanest welding process


     No slag or spatter
    – Suitable for wider variety of metals than any other welding process
    – Superior quality welds
    • Limitations
    – Slow metal deposition rate
    – High degree of welder dexterity and coordination required
     Welder manipulates torch with one hand and adds filler metal with other
    – Use of shielding gas makes it difficult to protect weld zone in windy conditions

    Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)


    • Advantages
    – Clean process
     No slag
    – Very fast metal deposition rate
    – Suitable for wide variety of metals
    – Easy to learn
    • Limitations
    – Equipment costly and complex
     Less portable
    – More difficult to use in hard to reach places
    – Use of shielding gas makes it difficult to protect weld zone in windy conditions
    Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)
    • Advantages
    – Fast metal deposition rate
    – Higher current gives better penetration into base metal
    • Limitations
    – Less portable
     Wire feeder and power supply must be close to welding
    – Produces large volume of smoke and fumes
    Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
    • Advantages
    – Produces no sparks, spatter, arc flash or smoke
    – High weld deposition rate
    – High quality welds, especially on thick weldments
    • Limitations
    – Not well suited for field work
     Primarily used for shop welding
    – Position of weld must always be flat or slightly downhill
     Manipulators widely used in process
