Industrial Application of Welding

Industrial Welding

Industrial application of welding -It can be said that welding has two major functions Industrial welding 

(1) as a means of construction and (2) for maintenance and repair. hard to find one
industry that does not use welding in any of the Classification.
 This is common to many industries
To use the process in both capacities.

The following industries have found welding to be one of Benefit

• Airplane

• Automotive

• Bridge construction

• Construction equipment

• Agricultural Tools and Equipment

• Furnaces and Heating Equipment

• Guided Missiles and Spacecraft

• Jigs and Fixtures

• machine tools

• Military equipment

• Mining equipment

• Oil Drilling and Refining Equipment

• Ornamental ironwork

• Piping

• Quality Food Service Equipment

• Railroad Equipment

• Residential, commercial and industrial construction

• sheet metal

• Steel Mill Equipment

• Tanks and Boilers

• Tools and Dies

• Watercraft

Fabrication Because of this, welding manufacturing has grown rapidly.

Speed and economy. Welding plays an important role

Manufacturing processes for the following reasons:

• Greater design flexibility and lower design costs

Welded design provides an easy, quick means of meeting

in functional requirements. the result of this freedom

Lower cost and improve service life

the product.

•  Elimination of Patterns Welded Design is Manufactured

straight from standard steel sizes. since the patterns are

Not required, it saves the cost of drawing the pattern, pat

Turn making, storage and repairing.

•  Low cost of material Rolled steel is a strong,

Rigid, more uniform material than casting. Hence,

Fewer pounds are needed to do the same job. as well,

Since the cost of rolled steel is one-fourth to one and a half times

one casting, the cost of the material is deducted by three

Quarters using welded steel fabrication. by substituting

Riveting, welded fabrication saves over 35 percent.

Welded steel construction eliminates connecting memos

Gusset plates, such as beers, simplify drafting, and cuts.

The cost and weight of the material ranges from 15 to 25 percent. welding

Allows for use of simple jigs and fixtures for speed

Layout and construction.

•  Low worker-production hours roundabout cast

printing processes are finished, machining operations are

at least, and the working hours are not wasted

Defective castings that should be rejected. special machines

The can be produced with only minor modifications

Standard design, saving time and money. with welding

and today's highly efficient manufacturing methods, production

Straight and fast.

•  Absorption of fixed charges instead of purchasing

As part of an external concern, the company may form

them in your shop. Additional functions applied to the former

Existing production facilities and supervision absorbs more

Top cost, resulting in more efficient production.

This extra work means more work for the welder.

•  Minimum inventory and obsolescence charges

Inventory for welding is about 10 percent of that

maintenance and repair

Hundreds of companies save thousands of dollars by using

Welding for maintenance and repair as follows:

•  Adding new metal hard facing worn out parts usually creates a part that is more useful than the original and leads to substantial savings on replacement costs.

•  Immediate repair and replacement of broken parts

Repair by welding prevents costly interruptions in production and saves costly replacements, Fig. 2-1.

•  special requirement production equipment, shop fixtures,

And a variety of structures can be customized to meet special production requirements
