Welding Basics

Chapter 6 – Welding, Procedure and Operator Qualification

Welding is the process of joining two materials using an electric arc

Primary Welding Types

•“Stick” – SMAW – Shielded Metal Arc Welding

•“MIG” – GMAW – Gas Metal Arc Welding

•“TIG” – GTAW – Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

•“Sub Arc” – SAW – Submerged Arc Welding

Six Welding Positions – Flat, Horizontal, Vertical, Overhead, Horizontal Round and Inclined

Brazing and Soldering – Non Pressure Boundary
