Co2Welding Procedure

Co2Welding Procedure - The various steps involved are as follows:
(1) Correct edge preparation and joint fit up.
(2) Joint surfaces to be cleaned of rust, scale, grease or any other foreign matter.
(3) Assembling the welding equipment and setting the welding parameters.
(4) Selecting correct gun nozzle size.
(5) Setting electrode extension on the basis whether short-circuiting or spray type welding is to be done.
(6) Turning on the carbon-di-oxide gas supply to remove air from the hoses and then setting CO2 flow rate as per base metal and joint design.

(7) Though CO2 welding can be done in any weld position, it is easy to weld in the down hand position. For making butt welds, the root run is laid by moving the electrode, back and forth along the seam. For the filler runs of the multipass weld, the electrode is moved. The finishing run is deposited by weaving the electrode.

(8) Fillet, Vertical, horizontal and overhead welds can also be made using CO2 welding.

(9) After the weld is complete, the end crater should be filled.
