Principle of arc welding and characteristics of arc
Objectives: At the end of this lesson you shall be able to
• state the electric arc welding
• state the principal of arc welding
• state the characteristics of Arc.
Electric arc welding
This is a process of welding in which the heat energy is obtained from electricity. When electric current passes
through a medium material it generates heat.
An electric arc maintained between the end of a coated material electrode and work piece.
The Flux covering melts during welding and forms gas and slag the arc molten pool.
Flux also prevent the atmosphere contamination oxidation (oxygen & nitrogen)
The flux also provides a method of adding deoxidizer and alloying elements to the weld metal.
