What is the purpose of a welding procedure specification?
A Welding Procedure Specification, or WPS, is a document that serves as a guide for the effective creation of a weld that meets all applicable code requirements and production standards.
What is a weld log?
Weld logs contain the data specific to each individual weld. Normally a weld log sheet would contain all of the welding information for the welds on a specific isometric drawing. At the top of any weld log, you’ll usually find client specific project specific information, i.e. project number, job number, etc.
What are the 3 common welding processes?
Three of the most common are Arc, MIG (Metal, Inert Gas) or GMAW (Gas, Metal Arc Welding), and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. In order to know which process is best for the particular job you’re working on, here’s what you should know about each of them. Arc welding is the oldest of these three welding processes.
Which type of welding is best?
What is the Best Welding Process?
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (Stick)
- Submerged Arc Welding (Sub-Arc)
- Flux-Cored Arc Welding (Flux-Cored)
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG)
- Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG)
What metal can you not weld?
What Are Metals That Cannot Be Welded?
- Titanium and steel.
- Aluminum and copper.
- Aluminum and stainless steel.
- Aluminum and carbon steel.
Is gasless MIG welding any good?
Most non-industrial gas MIG welders are capable of welding metal up to ¼” thick. On the other hand, gasless MIG welders have better penetration, making them much more suitable for welding thicker metal with good results. They are also more efficient and have higher productivity than gas MIG welders.
What is the strongest weld joint?
The strongest weld depends upon the base metal being used and the magnitude expected loading onto the welded joint….7. TIG Welding Single V & Square Groove Joints.
| Welding process | Typical Deposition Efficiency Range (%) |
|---|---|
| AMAW (Stick) | 50-55 |
