How Does Welding Work?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- Welding has been around in some form or fashion since the 4th century A.D., but modern welding techniques fueled the industrial revolution and are crucial to many modern industries.
Welding is a very broad term covering hundreds if not thousands of specific materials joining processes.
The main welding processes are shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG) gas metal arc welding (GMAW/MIG), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), electroslag welding (ESW), and lastly resistance welding. Did you get all that?

The title of this video should be "what are the classification of welding?" Not "How does welding works"
Agreed. I heard a lot, learned nothing.
yeah this isn't how does welding works
title police strikes again
Half video in and understands nothing
Thank you for saving us the time 🙏
Going to welding school next year , I’m very excited. Never welded in my life ever so hopefully I do well haha
Good luck mate! You'll ace it. Don't forget to look after yourself, especially your eyes, skin, back and knees!
Jess L thank you ! Will do! Blessings
I just entered a welding school last month at first its going to be difficult but with practice it gets easier trust me you are going to struggle little bit in the first week we all been their
J.J Güey Ofcourse I’m sure it won’t be easy but that’s the fun in it ! I wish you all the luck ! Blessings
I go to a welding school this year. I’m just hoping I get the same experience everyone else did sense Covids a thing
Was genuinely curious how welding worked. You seem to have the most modern informative video on it. V well done! Ty!
im confused. what melts and binds the two metal parts together ? is it the welding rod melted ? or is it still the base metal melted to bind the two metal parts and no part of the welding rod remains in the slag ? what is the welding rod for and why does does it get consumed ?
So I'm going to talk about stick welding exclusively here, just because it sets a good foundation for understanding welding.
Stick welding uses flux coated electrodes to melt and fuse the base metal together. The electrode (welding rod) serves a few purposes, it acts a path for electric current to move through, it contains consumable metal that is added to the weld, and it contains a flux coating that becomes slag that will protect the molten weld pool from oxidation.
Here is a step by step process of what happens when you stick weld.
First you initiate the arc. This arc begins melting the base material and the welding rod itself. As the welding rod starts melting, it fuses with the base material. While the welding rod melts, so does the flux coating. It becomes a slag covering on the weld and protects it from the atmosphere. Once the weld pool solidifies the slag can be removed.
I hope that answered some of your questions. Let me know if you have any more
@@joelallo119 very informative and clear. thank you very much
@@joelallo119 Im not the original commenter but this helped me out a lot with understanding the basic concept. Im going to be graduating high school soon and I was looking into doing a trade rather than going to university, and I've never done welding in my life, Ive done some soldering for a robotics team a few years ago but thats it idk if that counts lol. Anyways, I was interested in learning about welding. Thanks for the explanation it was easy to understand the way you put it.
I would LOVE to go to school for welding however math has never ever been a strong suit for me and that's a big requirement so I'm having huge doubts. I took a welding program in highschool and remember loving every day in the shop.
Math is learnable over time, I was never the best at math but was able to get an engineering degree. If you love the job, the math learning will come over time :)
I’m in the same boat. But I’m learning alot with Math. Just focus on the math needed for welding.
Thinking about getting into welding. Did it very briefly in high school and somewhat enjoyed and wasn’t terrible at it
Well, did you?
@@MikeP350 no lol I’m currently 2 years into the Air Force. Crazy I made that comment when I was like 18 or 19 and didn’t know wtf to with my life
@@assholio203lol same situation as you right now, not sure what to do, coming out of high school soon. what made you choose airforce and not welding?
@@talkedpine because it was free to join and it got me very far away from my crazyass family very fast lol for me personally it was exactly what I needed and probably one of the best decisions I’ve made but I do recognize it’s not for everybody
why isn't this channel popular yet?
🤷♂️ One day! We've been pumping out consistent content for about a year and a half now, we'll keep working regardless :)
I guess because they don't talk about what's in the title?
@@seancrowe3353 they gave more
what they failed to mention is traditional forge welding. quite simply heat the metal in a furnace, pour borax on it, and beat it together. welding put simply is two liquids joining together.
At 1:44 you say that the gas used in TIG welding is "usually helium".
That is incorrect. It is usually Argon, or a mixture of Argon with other gases in varying percentages - and yes, helium is sometimes included, but not always, or even "usually" - as it pertains to the dominate gas used.
You're right! I'll see if I can make adjustments to the video. Good catch.
@Craig F. Thompson Helium is very hard to generate and is thus much more expensive. My understanding from watching Periodic Videos is that there is actually a growing worldwide shortage of Helium, because it is so hard to come by.
Also, since it is much lighter than air, it doesn't "linger" at the weld as well as Argon - which is much heavier than air, unless you're doing an overhead weld.
I wasn't aware that welding schools used helium exclusively since I've never been to one, but maybe they do it because it kinda forces you to hold a tight arc to maintain the shield over the puddle - actually a pretty good idea!
@@ConcerningReality I'm glad you took the correction for how it was intended - not trolling, just trying to add to the accuracy.
See my response to Craig below for a couple of the reasons why Argon is preferred as the base gas in industry.
Otherwise, nice video!
Thanks for making it and others to teach people about stuff like this.
@@jdgower1 Certainly! I get a lot of rude people on here when I mess up something and you were perfectly polite and reasonable. Have a great day!
@@ConcerningReality One other point worth mentioning is that I may have missed it, but I don't remember forge welding being mentioned as a type of welding, and it was actually the first type developed.
Cheers!
Such a ridiculously useful skill which I have zero experience in and envy those who do.
You never mention how it works, video should be call list of welding types
He did mention how it works
@@beiiedeiphine5672 Yeah, but he just glossed over it in one slide -- it works by fusion. Ok...I think we all knew that already. Now maybe you could explain how that works?
烧焊是一門古老的工艺, 焊枝分两种, 一种灰色, 一种粉紅色, 有些人以為有分別, 其实沒有任何分別, 烧焊的时候, 左手拿焊枝, 右手拿焊钳, 把焊枝固定在焊钳上, 成九十度角或者一百三十五度角, 調校焊机的电圧, 好象划火柴一样, 擦上工件, 起火花, 就可以幵始烧焊, 焊枝逆时钟方向旋轉, 焊料才会堆在下面, 有些技工順时钟方向旋轉, 沒有那么好, 葵涌焊接业訓練中心不鼓励, 烧焊的时候, 左手拿焊镜, 右手拿焊钳, 一起火花就睇焊镜, 不要望著強光, 有些技工用雷朋太阳眼镜代替焊镜, 沒有那么好, 葵涌焊接业訓練中心不鼓励, 烧完一枝焊枝之后, 可以火駁火, 用小铁鎚敲碎焊渣, 焊道成鱼鳞形狀, 俗称為鱼鳞焊, 否則就是牛屎焊或者鳮屎焊, 都是不及格的焊道, 烧焊是厌恶性工作, 一边烧焊, 火花不断地射在手臂的皮肤上, 夏天也要穿著長袖襯衣, 甚至乎穿牛皮保护袖套, 牛皮围裙, 為免手震, 烧焊技工要喝中葯, 不能提舉重物, 工資在建造业各行业之中, 算是中等, 二十年之前, 葵涌和香港仔都有焊接业訓練課程, 葵涌焊接业訓練中心的导師都是老行尊, 擅于把一身技朮傾囊相授, 毫不吝嗇, 津貼虽然微薄, 學員不妨視作為讀龍津义學,
I got nothing out of this video.
I got a welding ad for this
Thinking about starting a welding class my freshman year. Hope I do well any tips???
Just a heads up you can weld cast iron with an arc welder with cast iron rods
Quality video. Thanks for the easy to understand information.
That was a great video, maybe you could do a standalone series that goes more into depth on each type of welding method?
I learned acronyms and that’s it
Tel about AC and DC tig. You van weld rust free steel with Mig 2, you shal need special roll of ammo bit you van do it.
Dont forget that you have different kinds of Tongsten insirts tot tig. Dekens on your work bit the teghniec doffers kwite a lot.
That's wur some simple mistakes i steen but nothinh to wurry about. Nice vid
This doesn't really explain how it works. It just tells us that different metals require different processes to BE welded. You sort of glossed over what the video title was about - the "how does it work?" I think even a complete noob is savvy enough to figure out it has to do with fusing the two pieces together. But what I want is a more in-depth explanation on the fusion process itself. For example, it's understood that when metals are superheated, they become weaker. So how are welds so strong when cooled? I mean, I see joined pieces all the time that are under tremendous stress but don't break. For example, on a car with a solid rear axle, the lower shock absorber mounts are welded to the axle housing. On the road at speed, the shocks are subjected to extreme abuse as the axle bobs up and down over road imperfections and the body bounces up/down from the springs dissipating energy. In effect, these lower shock mounts must support at least half of the vehicle's body weight at times. How do these tiny welds not break?!
Or what about the frame of a dirt bike? Their joints are welded and during extreme events like motorcross, the frame is subjected to immense stress. How do the welds not break?!
I get that the process involves essentially "melting" the edges of the two pieces so that they "fuse" together, but when they cool, surely they metals can't be as strong as they were before they were heated?
That’s exactly what I came to watch and was very disappointed
Started confused, left confused
started confused, left even more confused
Sorry, but not a good explanation guys. It's useful to begin small and adequately lay out the underlying principles first, before tackling more complex ideas (e.g. flux, various welding techniques). Thanks
Thanks you for your explanation
I really like your electronics videos like the radios one but this is good too you should make an electronics playlist :)))
There’s also friction welding, most commonly utilized by Cummins in their diesel engines.
This is not what I've searched for this is not how welding works you're just showing off the classifications of Welding you should change the title of the video.
Came with one question. Ended up with thousands more
This video only tells the category of different types of welding and where it's used. It says nothing about how welding works.
Tungsten is a Swedish Word. Meaning "Heavy rock"
A welder would struggle to follow this video.
Great informative video for noobs :)
Great introduction video!
2:42, the car from back to the future. 🤔
I watched this without my welding mask. I want you guys to know that now I'm blind
I’m starting welding school on the 13th at RSI, I’m scared man I’m only 18!!!
Fantastic career choice tho!
I thought I wanted to know more about welding.....I was wrong
Wanted to learn how welding works this video just made it more difficult...
Dont even understand half the things said in this video.. just wanna know how a metal rod can cause blinding sparks and join metals together while producing what seems to be new metal out of nowhere just by touching metals...?
Still confused
I can’t find one video showing how an arc is created and melts the metal
I still didn't know how welding is done
职业訓練局工业學院的导師說, 一旦台海爆發战争, 稍為有技朮的工人都会派入兵工厂, 生产手枪和子弹, 成為有用的人,
"usually helium" lolol
I feel like theres a lot of good info here but i still have no idea how it works
Basically, an arc of high amperage is made between two pieces of metal melting them. Then, a filler metal in the form of wire, rods, and coated rods, is added to the molten "puddle". then as the arc moves, the puddle behind it cools and solidifies, forming the weld.
Welding is the only thing in life that im good at 😂
I’m jealous
Haha you refers to this one smaw. Or stick means shielded metal arc welding
Wow, all that and you didn't explain how it works
How does welding work? electrons!!!! 😂
nice!! 💪 👷🏻
Wowsers I got lost
Idk why I searched this but bruh
I’m in the 8th grade and I’m going to 9th this year I’m almost done with 8th but in 10th I can go to welding school
but how the F#**@ does it works?!

Thumb down beacuse you didn't explain anything here but some types of welding.
I’m a welder by trade
Any other girls here??
Tbh I’m just trying to learn about my crushes hobby.....:/
@moonxbea6502
Welding is based. Pick it up regardless, lmao.
A person that drinks alot couldn't well do too shaking hands
Metals don't have cells lol
@wailingnormal8
Not the type you're probably used to, no. But yes, the word "cell" and "crystal" show up *_particularly_* often in the scientific discussion of a given metal's material properties.
Sorry, but a terribly confusing and rushed summary.
Ur making it sound so complicated. Just tack them two pieces together and weld that shit
Well, I mean, it is more complicated than that lol
BibinRejitha
Haha im ur 1000 liked
This is the most useless video if you want to learn how welding works.
This video is useless and doesn't tell you how welding works!!!
Bad video..Just tells you types of welding not the science of welding.
I still don't actually understand how welding works. This video wasn't that helpful.
This is complete college paper crap.
Horribly explained video
This did not explain a fucking thing
Too much info , too much different welding types. Just stick to the basics
Electroslag 😏
You might want to change the way you talk. You have a lot of inflection in your tone which can get boring. I lost interest in your video within the first minute.
Lol I have, this is one of my older ones
