Lab Assignment 3
Gas Welding
Aim – To perform joining of two thin MS plates by
Lap Joint using Oxy acetylene gas welding.

 Equipment required : Gas welding equipment,


brass rod of 1.7 mm diameter.
 Material required : MS sheet 2.5 mm thickness.
 Tools required : Scriber and C-clamp.
Gas Welding
 Gas welding is a most important type of welding
process. It is done by burning of fuel gases with
the help of oxygen which forms a concentrated
flame of high temperature. This flame directly
strikes the weld area and melts the weld surface
and filler material. The melted part of welding
plates diffused in one another and create a weld
joint after cooling. This welding method can be
used to join most of common metals used in daily
life.

 Welding torches are most important part of gas


welding. Both the fuel gas and oxygen at suitable
pressure fed through hoses to the welding torch.
There are valves for each gas witch control the flow
of gases inside the torch. Both gases mixed there and
form a flammable mixture. These gases ignite to burn
at the nozzle. The fire flame flow through nozzle and
strikes at welding plates. The nozzle thickness
depends on the size of the welding plates and
material to be welded.
Oxy Acetylene welding torch
Application
 It is used to join thin metal plates.
 It can used to join both ferrous and non-ferrous
metals.
 Gas welding mostly used in fabrication of sheet
metal.
 It is widely used in automobile and aircraft
industries.
Advantages
 It is easy to operate and dose not required high
skill operator.
 Equipment cost is low compare to other welding
processes like MIG, TIG etc.
 It can be used at site.
 Equipment’s are more portable than other type of
welding.
 It can also be used as gas cutting.
Disadvantages
 It provides low surface finish.
 This process needs a finishing operation after
welding.
 Higher safety issue due to naked flame of high
temperature.
 It is Suitable only for soft and thin sheets.
 Slow metal joining rate.
 No shielding area which causes more welding
defects.
