SOLID STATE WELDING
In these processes, only the filler metals which join the two pieces to be
welded are melted and not the base metal. The braze metals have higher
melting temperatures than the solder metals.
Base metal
- The method used to transfer the metal across the arc. There are four metal
transfer methods (short circuit, globular, spray, pulsed spray). Each one requires
different settings and has divers use interests.
- The shielding gas.
- The electrode size.
- The electric parameters: voltage and current (the GMAW use the continuous
current).
- The feed rate (speed of filler supply).
- The travel speed.
MAIN EQUIPMENT
- torch
- electric power source
- shielding gas source
- wire spool with wire drive control
SAFETY
Toxic gases:
- carbon monoxide (CO)
Well ventilated area
- ozone (O2)
- phosgene gases produced with
some metals when welded
ADVANTAGES OF THE GMAW
Thanks to its numerous advantages, the Gas Metal Arc Welding is the most extensively
used process in metal-fabrication industry.
But the GMAW is not widely used in aeronautics industry because it produce low
mechanical properties weld. One of the current applications of GMAW is in the
automatic welding of the vanes of the Patriot missile. These vanes consists of an
investment cast frame of 17-4 PH stainless steel over which sheet metal of the same
composition is welded. This application benefits from the low cost of GMAW, while
extreme reliability is not as important as in manned aircraft.
