3RD Quarter Exam Smaw 12 Note

Good inspectors are expected to have honesty, integrity, knowledge, good communication skills, and physical fitness. They use various measuring devices like tapes, temperature crayons, gauges, and magnifying glasses. Mechanical damage to metals during manufacturing can include grinding, hammering, chipping and breaking welded attachments. Important metal properties include malleability, ductility, toughness, and hardness. Welder qualifications demonstrate their skill in making production welds free of defects.

Important qualities that good Inspectors are expected to have are:

•Honesty
•Integrity
•Knowledge
•Good communicator
•Physical fitness
•Good eyesight
Measuring devices:
• flexible tape,/steel rule
• Temperature indicating crayons
• Welding gauges
• Voltmeter
• Ammeter
• Magnifying glass
• Torch / flash light
• Gas flow-meter
Causes of defects
Mechanical damage can be defined as any surface material damage cause during the manufacturing
process.
• Grinding
• Hammering
• Chiselling
• Chipping
• Breaking off welded attachments (torn surfaces)
• Using needle guns to compress weld capping runs

Properties of metals
Malleability - Ability of a material to withstand deformation under static compressive loading without
rupture.
Ductility - Ability of a material undergo plastic deformation under static tensile loading without rupture.
Measurable elongation and reduction in cross section area
Toughness- Ability of a material to withstand bending or the application of shear stresses by impact
loading without fracture
Hardness- Measurement of a materials surface resistance to indentation from another material by static
load.
Tensile strength - Measurement of the maximum force required to fracture a materials bar of unit cross-
sectional area in tension
Summary of designations:
pWPS: Preliminary Welding Procedure Specification
(Before procedure approval)
WPAR (WPQR): Welding Procedure Approval Record
(Welding procedure Qualification record)
WPS: Welding Procedure Specification
(After procedure approval)
Question:
What is the main reason for qualifying a welder ?
Answer:
To show that he has the skill to be able to make production welds that are free from defects
Welder controls:
• Arc length
• Angle of electrode
• Speed of travel
• Amperage settings
Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMA)
4/23/2007 248 of 691
Advantages:
• Field or shop use
• Range of consumables
• All positions
• Portable
• Simple equipment Disadvantages:
• High welder skill required
• High levels of fume
• Hydrogen control (flux)
• Stop/start problems
• Comparatively uneconomic when compared with some other processes i.e MAG, SAW and FCAW
Transformer: • Changes mains supply voltage to a voltage suitable for welding. Has no moving parts and
is often termed static plant.
Rectifier: • Changes a.c. to d.c., can be mechanically or statically achieved.
Generator: • Produces welding current. The generator consists of an armature rotating in a magnetic
field, the armature must be rotated at a constant speed either by a motor unit or, in the absence of
electrical power, by an internal combustion engine.
Inverter: • An inverter changes d.c. to a.c. at a higher frequency.
