SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) YOU CAN BE THE BEST BUT YOU CAN’T
TRUST A MACHINE.
2) Protect every bit of your skin from the UV light.
3) Work in areas that are well ventilated.
4) Wear a vapour mask if needed.
5) Protect your eyes by using safety goggles.
6) Be aware of your surroundings before you begin to work so
that you can avoid having fires.
7) A CO2 one is the best for welding and a bucket of sand is
also a good thing to have.
8) Cotton clothing tends to be safer than synthetics that are
more likely to catch fire, but it’s often ideal to get flame
resistant jackets.

In this assembly we take different sheet metals to form
fender for Bolero body by using Mig welding and Spot
welding.
2) FLOOR ASSEMBLY
In this assembly we take the small child parts to make
three different floor for our Bolero. The three floor are
15. 15
rear floor, centre floor, back floor. Different floor
required different number of spot. It depend on their
strength.
3) SIDE ASSEMBLY
In this assembly line we take small child parts to make
right and left hand side of our Bolero.
4) MAIN LINE ASSEMBLY
Starts from assembling all floor together. At first then
coming at next step with the help of robots we join our
side assembly to our body parts. Then we join our top
floor to the body. At next step we join doors to our
Bolero. Then facia and back door.

WELDING
Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials,
usually metals or thermoplastics,by causing fusion, which is distinct
from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such
as brazing and soldering,which do not melt the base metal. In addition
to melting the base metal, a filler material is typically added to the joint to
form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to form a joint
that is usually stronger than the base material. Pressure may also be
used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce a weld. Welding
also requires a form of shield to protectthe filler metals or melted metals
from being contaminated or oxidized.
20. 20
EVOLUTION OF WELDING
1) The history of joining metals goes back several millennia. The earliest
examples of this come from the Bronze and Iron Ages in Europe and
the Middle East.
2) The middle Ages brought advances in forge welding, in which
blacksmiths pounded heated metal repeatedlyuntil bonding occurred.
In 1540, Vannoccio Biringuccio published De la pirotechnia.
3) Sir Humphry Davy discoveredthe "short-pulse" electricalarc and
presented his results.
4) Inventors Nikolai Benardos (Russian) and Stanisłal Olszewski
(Polish) created the first electric arc welding method known as carbon
arc welding using carbon electrodes.
5) World War I caused a major surge in the use of welding processes,
with the various military powers attempting to determine which of the
several new welding processes would be best.The British primarily
used arc welding, even constructing a ship, the "Fullagar" with an
entirely welded hull.
6) Major advances were made in welding technology, including the
introduction of automatic welding in 1920,in which electrode wire was
fed continuously. Shielding gas became a subjectreceiving much
attention, as scientists attempted to protectwelds from the effects of
oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere.
7) Other recent developments in welding include the 1958 breakthrough
of electronbeam welding, making deep and narrow welding possible
through the concentrated heat source.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF WELDING
GMAW or Gas MetalArcWelding
GTAW or Tungsten Inert Gas :
Arc Welding or SMAW :
23. 23
MIG WELDING:
1) This process is based on the principle of developing weld by melting-
faying surfaces of the basemetal using heat produced by a welding arc
established between base metal and a consumable electrode.
2) Welding arc and weld pool are well protected by a jet of shielding
inactive gas coming out of the nozzleand forming a shroud around the
arc and weld.
3) MIG weld is not considered as clean as TIG weld.
ELECTRICAL NOTES
CURRENT : 80-120 Amp
VOLTAGE : 18-24 Volt
CYCLE TIME : 12-16 Cycle
WIRE FEED RATE : 6-8 m/min
SHIELDING GAS : CO2
POWER SOURCE USE HERE: DC (WE NEED A CONSTANT
ELECTRIC SUPPLY THEREFORE WE USE DC HERE)
PENETRATION LEVEL : 30-70 % of metal
Thickness
Differencein stability of two welding arcs is primarily due to the fact that in
MIG arc is established between base metal and consumableelectrode (which is
24. 24
consumed continuously during welding) while TIG welding arc is established
between base metal and non-consumabletungsten electrode.
Consumableelectrode is fed automatically while torch is controlled either
manual or automatically. Therefore, this process is found more suitable for
welding of comparatively thicker.
Power source for MIG
1) Welding Depending upon the electrode diameter, material and
electrode extension required, MIG welding may use either constant
voltage or constantcurrenttype of the welding power source.
2) For small diameter electrodes (< 2.4 mm) when electrical resistive
heating controls the melting rate predominantly, constantvoltage
power source(DCEP) is used to take advantage of the self-regulating
arc.
3) Whereas in caseof large diameter electrode constant currentpower
sourceis used with variable speed electrode feed drivesystem to
maintain the arc length.
4) We use DC current in Mig welding. Because we need constant
electricity supply, which can be possibleonly DC current.
Shielding gases for MIG welding
Like TIG welding, shielding gases such as Ar, He, CO2 and their mixtures
are used for protecting the welding pool from the atmospheric gases.
Inertgases are normally used with reactive metal like Al, Mg and while
carbon dioxide can be used for welding of steel for reasonably good
quality of weld joints.
Effect of MIG welding process parameters
Among various welding parameters such as welding current, voltage and
speed probably welding current is most influential parameters affecting
25. 25
weld penetration, deposition rate, weld bead geometry and quality of
weld metal.
However, arc voltage directly affects the width of weld bead. An
increase in arc voltage in general increases the width of the weld.
Welding currentis primarily used to regulate the overall size of weld
bead and penetration.
Too low welding currentresults pilling of weld metal on the faying
surfacein the formof bead instead of penetrating into the work piece.
Excessiveheating of the work piece due to too high welding current
causes weld sag.
Optimum currentgives optimum penetration and weld bead width.
Selection of welding current is influenced by electrode stick out and
electrode diameter.
In general, high welding current is preferred for large diameter
electrodes with small electrode extension in order to obtain optimal
weld bead geometry. Increasein welding speed reduces the penetration.
ADVANTAGES OF MIG WELDING
1) Higher Productivity
2) Simple to Learn
3) Simple and Great Welds
4) Clean and Efficient
5) Versatile
6) Faster Welding Speed
26. 26
DISADVANTAGES OF MIG WELDING
1) Cost.
2) Limited Positions
3) Unsuitable for Outdoor Welding
4) FastCooling Rates
5) Unsuitable for Thick Metals
6) Shielding Gas
27. 27
SPOT WELDING
Resistance spot welding (RSW) is a process in which contacting metal surface points are
joined by the heat obtained from resistance to electric current. It is a subset of electric
resistance welding.
Electrical notes
The energy storage element allows the welder to deliver high instantaneous
power levels.
The welding transformer steps down the voltage and steps up the current. An
important feature of the transformer is it reduces the current level that the switch
must handle.
At the beginning of the weld, the contact resistances are usually high, so most of
the initial energy will be dissipated there.
28. 28
ELECTRIC CURRENT USE HERE: 7-9 Kamp
VOLTAGE USE HERE : 180-220 Volt
FORCE : 240-280 Kg f
CYCLE TIME : 12-16
WATER TEMP : 25-300
C
ELECTRODE MADE OF : COPPER
POWER SOURCE : AC
Work-piecesare held together under pressure exerted by electrodes. Typically
the sheets are in the 0.5 to 3 mm.
The process uses two shaped copper alloy electrodes to concentrate welding
current into a small "spot" and to simultaneously clamp the sheets together.
Forcing a large current through the spot will melt the metal and form the weld
The amount of heat (energy) delivered to the spot is determined by the resistance
between the electrodes and the magnitude and duration of the current.
Applying too little energy will not melt the metal or will make a poor weld.
Applying too much energy will melt too much metal, eject molten material, and
make a hole rather than a weld.
29. 29
Applications
Perhaps the most common application of spot welding is in the automobile
manufacturing industry, where it is used almost universally to weld the
sheet metal to form a car.
Another application is spot welding straps to nickel–cadmium or nickel–
metal hydride cells to make batteries.
Effects
The spot welding process tends to harden the material, causing it to warp. This
reduces the material's fatigue strength, and may stretch the material as well
as anneal it
The physical effects of spot welding include internal cracking, surface cracks and
a bad appearance.
The chemical properties affected include the metal's internal resistance and its
corrosive properties.
