The Welding Honor is perhaps of all the AY honors, the one with the greatest potential to cause injury. If done wrong you can also create unsafe equipment (see requirement note at end) '''''Do not attempt to teach yourself how to weld.''''' An experienced instructor is absolutely required for this honor.

A welding torch has a nozzle with one hole, the torch body mixes oxy and acet, and you get your flame.

<!-- 1. Successfully complete a minimum of three hours of classroom instruction.* -->
  
A cutting torch has a bunch of nozzles in a circle, with an oxy/acet mix (like the welding torch), and a bigger hole in the middle where oxygen comes out.

The oxygen and acetylene cylinders are designed to hold high-pressure gases. There are some important things to remember when using these cylinders:
+
<noinclude><translate><!--T:191-->
 +
</noinclude>
 +
<!-- a. Welding hood -->
  
• Cylinders must always be stood upright and be secured by a chain
+
<!--T:192-->
• When not in use (regulator mounted) they must always have a valve protection cap in place
+
<noinclude></translate></noinclude>
• Cylinders should be stored in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme cold

• Usually red in colour, smaller in diameter and taller than Acetylene
+
<!--T:194-->
• 2200 PSI when full
+
<noinclude></translate></noinclude>
• The cylinder valve must be opened fully (double seated valve) or it could leak!
+
{{CloseReq}} <!-- 2b -->
• You should not run an oxygen tank below 50 PSI.
 
  
Acetylene Cylinders

 +
<noinclude><translate><!--T:195-->

 +
<!-- c. SMAW power supply -->
  
• Usually black, large in diameter and short
+
<!--T:196-->
• 250 PSI when full
+
<noinclude></translate></noinclude>
• The cylinder valve should only be opened ¼ of a turn.
+
{{CloseReq}} <!-- 2c -->
• The acetylene cylinder should never be laid down as this will result in the gas becoming unstable.
 
• You should not run an acetylene tank below 50 PSI.
 
  
==2. Explain the safe working pressures of oxygen and acetylene, as per your instruc­tor's directions, for various procedures. ==
+
{{ansreq|page={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|2|1}}|num=2d}}
When welding and brazing with an oxy-acetylene torch, acetylene should be set at 5psi. Oxygen should be set at 5 or 6psi, but no more.
+
<noinclude><translate><!--T:197-->
 +
</noinclude>
 +
<!-- d. Welding gas regulator -->
  
When cutting with an oxy-acetylene torch, acetylene should again be set at about 5psi. Oxygen, however is set much higher, about 25psi, when cutting.

+
<!--T:208-->
==8. Explain the difference between oxyacetylene and electric arc welding. ==
+
<noinclude></translate></noinclude>
Oxy-acetylene welding uses two gases in the process of producing a weld. Acetylene, which is the fuel and is the main source of heat, and oxygen, which is a propellant.
+
{{CloseReq}} <!-- 3b -->
  
Electric arc welding does not use gas to produce a weld like oxy-acetylene welding does. Electric arc welding uses an electric current to produce its welds. A clamp, with the one side of the current flowing through it, is attached to a base plate. Then the another clamp/nozzle, with the other side of the current flowing through it, is held in a hand. A filler rod is then used to complete the circuit and create the heat needed to heat the pieces of metal being joined and melt the filler rod (used to bind the pieces of metal together).

{{CloseReq}} <!-- 3c -->
  
==Note: An instructor is a must. Welding is a very critical and serious skill to learn and is not a home-type course. Welding essentially takes the place of bolts and rivets, and if not properly done, is most dangerous. Example: A trailer hitch not properly bond­ed, or machinery exposed to the strain of pull or weight, is an invitation to disaster.==

Qualified welding instructor required.

The Welding Honor is perhaps of all the AY honors, the one with the greatest potential to cause injury. If done wrong you can also create unsafe equipment (see requirement note at end) Do not attempt to teach yourself how to weld. An experienced instructor is absolutely required for this honor.


1

Successfully complete a minimum of three hours of classroom instruction.*




2

Identify the following:



2a

Welding hood




2b

GMAW welding wire




2c

SMAW power supply




2d

Welding gas regulator




2e

GMAW welding torch




2f

220-volt electrical outlet




2g

PAC torch





3

Explain the following terms:



3a

Fusion welding




3b

Electrode




3c

Oxidation




3d

Slag




3e

Alloy





4

Select and describe one fusion welding process.



4a

How is heat generated?




4b

Why is filler metal added?




4c

Describe how the molten metal is protected from oxidation.





5

Name at least one thermal and one mechanical cutting process.



5a

Describe how each one works.




5b

Discuss relative advantages and limitations of each.





6

Demonstrate a knowledge of risks and hazards associated with welding and cutting, and the steps to prevent or reduce them.



6a

Electric current




6b

High temperatures




6c

Ultraviolet radiation




6d

Toxic fumes

7b

Clothing




7c

Gloves




7d

Hearing




7e

Filtration/ventilation





8

For either the GMAW or SMAW welding process, demonstrate an ability to use welding guidelines, such as handbook tables, to select the appropriate welding process parameter settings, including proper amperage and electrode type/size for various types and thicknesses of a selected metal.




9

Explain and demonstrate proper equipment setup and consumables selection for at least one welding process.




10

Describe all the components of the equipment to be used and their function.




11

Using the designated processes, perform the following:



11a

PAC: Make one straight cut at least three inches long in mild steel or aluminum.




11b

SMAW: Complete i and ii, or complete iii.



11bi

Make two bead-on-plate welds at least two inches total length




11bii

Make one square-groove weld in the flat position




11biii

Make one corner weld in the flat position





11c

GMAW: Complete i and ii, or complete iii.



11ci

Make two bead-on-plate welds at least two inches total length




11cii

Make one square-groove weld in the flat position




11ciii

Make one lap weld in the flat position






Note

* Must pass a knowledge exam upon completion.
^ These are minimum requirements; additional welding is encouraged
