    • 1.2    LITERATURE REVIEW
      This write up is fully based on the method and ways of carrying out welding work and construction of the machine. Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins material usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing fusion, which is distinct from the lower temperature metal. Joining techniques such as brazing or soldering which do not melt the base metal. The value of welding as a standard method of joining metal was not fully appreciated before world war one, then because of the need for speed of production in every metal using and metal fabrication industry, the order of welding processes came on their own. During and after world war two, the new welding method were developed, which further increased speed and facilitates the joining of the many special purpose alloys that were developed during this period.
      Limited in its early application to small or less important parts, welding in the second half of the 20th century was employed in fabrication too numerous to mention, such as ship, locomotives, rail and cars. The petroleum industry is a classic example. The cutting edge of the bit used to drill on wells consist of a hard weld metal fused to backing transportation to and from refinery is via all welded transport iron material.
      Whenever a piece of apparatus is intended to contain a liquid or gas, welding is the logical method of fabrication. As such, it has almost completely replaced other method. Welding as of course by no means of confined to wide application where leak tightness is involved. In the conventional body on frame automobile, there are some 8,000 to 10,000 resistance welds and up to 40ft of arc welding.
      Building and bridges can be erected y welding with a saving of (10%) to (20%) in the amount of steel requires. The proportion of structures erected by welding was increasing in the second half of the 20th century and trend appeared likely to continue.
      The processes of welding may be divided into four processes
      1.    Forge welding
      2.    Arc welding
      3.    Gas welding
      4.    Resistance welding
      Arc welding will be expansiated on, in accordance to the title of the project.
      1.3    OBJECTIVES OF THE PRESENT WORK
      •    To find alternative replacement replacement for the imported models.
      •    To make it affordable at relatively cheap price.
      •    To further understand the fabrication or construction/working principle of the machine.
      •    To acquire basic understanding of operating and welding of transformer.
      1.4    SCOPE OF ELECTRICC ARC WELDING MACHINE
      The machine is designed to be supplied with an input ranging from 220volt to 240 volt. A good weld must be strong as parent metal. The scope of welding process in the modern industries has taken a greater dimension more than the previous year. Today the science and act of welding involves a wide range of process and procedure applicable to materials of any thickness and shape. These may range from more a very thin electronic component to a large machine and structure. The arc produces a temperature of about 3600oc at the top armed melts part of the metal being welded and part of electrode. This produces a pool of molten metal that cools and solidifies behind electrode as it moved along the joint.
      This electric arc welding machine is a heavy duty machine which is capable of welding 12 gauges of electrodes while in operation.

To obtained this type of flame, the flow of oxygen is then increased until the inner cone is shortened to about one tenth of it original length when the flame is properly adjusted, the inner cone is pointed and slightly purple. An oxidizing flame can also be recognized by it distinct hissing sound. The temperature of this flame is approximately 6300oF ( ... Continue reading---
