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 oxygen and acetylene, and you get your flame.

A cutting torch has several nozzles arranged in a circle, which emit an oxygen/acetylene mix (like the welding torch).  In the center of this circle of nozzlesis a larger hole where only oxygen is emitted.  The outer holes heat the steel, and the inner hole cuts.

The pressure regulators enable the user to reduce the high pressure contained in the cylinder to a usable working pressure. There are several handling and set up procedures that are important to the overall operation of the pressure regulator. The pressure regulator on each tank shows two things:
+
<!--T:171-->
 +
<noinclude></translate></noinclude>
  
−
* Cylinder pressure (How much gas is in the cylinder)

==8. Explain the difference between oxyacetylene and electric arc welding. ==

{{ansreq|page={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|2|1}}|num=6b}}
−
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.
+
<noinclude><translate><!--T:227-->
 +
</noinclude>
 +
<!-- b. High temperatures -->
  
−
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).

==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




6e

Moving machinery/blades




6f

High-pressure gases





7

Describe the safety gear required for various fusion welding and cutting processes.



7a

Head/eye protection




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
