WHAT IS SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING

(SMAW)?
• A fusion welding process that uses a
consumable, flux-coated electrode to create
an arc between the electrode and the work
piece.
• It is also known as manual metal arc welding
(MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding or
informally as stick welding.
 WHO INVENTED SMAW?
Nikolay Gavrilovich Slavyanov was a Russian
inventor who in 1888 introduced arc welding
with consumable metal electrodes, or shielded
metal arc welding, the second historical arc
welding method after carbon arc welding
invented earlier by Nikolay Benardos.

Commonly Used terms in welding
• Bead
narrow layer or layers of metal deposited
on the base metal when it melts.
• Convex weld
weld with protruding capping appearance.
• Crater
a depression at the termination of a weld
bead.
Commonly Used terms in welding
• Overfill
excessive reinforcement.
• Overlap
protrusion of weld metal beyond the toe,
face, or root of weld.
• Puddle
part of weld that is melted due to heat of
welding.
Commonly Used terms in welding
• Pass
single longitudinal progression of a
welding operation along a joint or weld deposit.
• Ripple
the shape/appearance of the beads which
results from the movement of the electrode.
• Single pass
one pass weld from the joint.
Commonly Used terms in welding
• Travel angle
angle of the electrode in relation of the
axis of weld when the electrode is perpendicular
to the axis of weld.
• Weave bead
type of weld bead made with transverse
oscillation.
Commonly Used terms in welding
• Weaving
a technique of depositing weld metal in
which the electrode is oscillated.
• Weld puddle
a nonstandard term for weld pool.
• Weld bead
a deposit of filler metal from a single
welding pass.
Commonly Used terms in welding
• Work angle
the angle of an electrode in relation to the
surface or surfaces of a work piece when the
electrode is perpendicular to the axis of weld.
• Weld pass
a single progression of welding along a
joint.
Commonly Used terms in welding
• Weld toe
the junction of the weld face and the base
metal.
• 1F
welding fillet in flat position
• 2F
welding fillet in horizontal position
WELDING CARBON/MILD STEEL PLATES

FILLET WELD
• Single fillet welds – have filler metal deposited
on one side and are limited to smaller loads
than double fillet welds.
• Double fillet welds – have filler metal
deposited on both sides to provide additional
strength. It may be equal or unequal fillet.
 TYPES OF FILLET JOINTS
• LAP JOINT
Single-fillet Lap Joint Double-fillet Lap Joint
 TYPES OF FILLET JOINTS
• CORNER JOINT
 TYPES OF FILLET JOINTS
• TEE JOINT
 PARTS OF FILLET WELD
• Weld root – area where the filler metal
intersects the base metal opposite the face
• Weld face – the exposed surface of a weld,
bounded by the weld toes of the side on
which welding was done which can be
concave or convex.
• Weld toe – it is the point at which the weld
face meets the base metal.
 PARTS OF FILLET WELD
• Fillet weld leg – the distance from the joint
root to the weld toe.
• Fillet weld throat – this may refer to the
actual throat – the shortest distance from
the face of a fillet weld to the weld root after
welding.
effective throat – the shortest distance
from the face of a fillet weld to the weld root,
minus any convexity after welding.
 PARTS OF FILLET WELD
theoretical throat – the distance from the
face of a fillet weld to the weld root before
welding.
• Weld interface – the area where the filler
metal and the base metal are mixed together.
• Fusion face – the surface of the base metal
that is melted during welding.
• Depth of fusion – the distance from the fusion
face to the weld interface.
