Box bar gap filling with arc welding involves bridging gaps between metal bars or sheets in a box-like structure. This can be challenging, especially with larger gaps, as it requires precision and control to avoid defects like porosity or insufficient fusion. Here's a detailed guide on the process
Metal Bars/Sheets: Steel, aluminum, or other metals.
Arc Welding Machine: Depending on the specific type of arc welding, you might use:
Stick Welder (SMAW): Uses a consumable electrode coated in flux.
MIG Welder (GMAW): Uses a continuous solid wire electrode fed through a welding gun.
TIG Welder (GTAW): Uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with a separate filler material.
Electrodes or Filler Rods: Matched to the material being welded.
Protective Gear: Welding helmet, gloves, apron, and safety glasses.
Clamps and Jigs: To hold the metal bars in place during welding.
Cleaning Tools: Wire brushes, grinders, and acetone for cleaning the weld area.
