Welding Repair

Weld repair is a process in which remove the damages of a metal. Metal damages removes from the use of Oxy fuel welding and by using carbon arc gouging or plasma cutting. For a good metal weld repair we must follow the steps which are involves in weld repair process.

Welding Procedure

For the use of welders a logical procedure of welding is to be applicable. In this procedure use special metal fillers and preheat the metal. In most of the construction companies, we can successfully weld a steel metal by using the following three steps which are:

•  In first step, Cutting the metal into the parts and removed the defected Components.
• In second step, prepare the new metal weld joints
• In third step, welding and cleaning the metal.

Step 1: Cutting metal into the parts and removed the defected components.

In the first step of welding repair removes the damages of a metal. This step can complete with the use of different welding techniques. Plasma and oxy-fuel are used for cutting a metal. We can also use carbon arc gouging which is well suited for removes the cracks from metal without harming the other parts of a metal.

With the help of different tools we can repair a metal. One of the most commonly used for cutting a metal is Oxy-fuel torch. Another tool which is used for cutting a metal is plasma cutters. By using plasma cutters welders can cut small parts width of metals. Plasma cutters are faster than the Oxy-fuel torches because by using plasma cutter welders can also cut electrical conductive metals but with the use of oxy-fuel torch welders can’t cut the stainless steel or aluminum metals. One of the most other common tools is carbon arc gouging which is used for welding generators. In using a carbon arc gouging uses an electrode which is made up of a carbon. By using this electrode welder can remove the defected parts. In result high pressure stream of air will released.

Step 2: prepare the new metal weld joints.

In the second step, welder will choose the filler material and replace all the parts with selected material which is better and have more power strength of the previous original material. According to their different mechanical properties such as tensile strength, wear resistance and ductility etc they have different applications. For avoiding long term failure of welding must ensure the quality and remove the unwanted downtime defects. When you will choose the right alloy then cut the steel and bevel the edges. After this preheating is required this is to be done by the use of oxy fuel torch.

Step 3: Welding and cleaning the metal.

In the third and last process, welders choose the welding process which they will follow to weld a metal. There are two most commonly used processes are:

•            Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
•            Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW).
