Multiple-Impulse Welding (MIW) Flash Welding (FW)
Repeated electrical impulses Current ON contact arc pressure
Spot welding: current controlled manually current OFF metals fuse
MIW: current regulated electronically ON & OFF
Permit welding on thicker materials
Advantages:
Keep electrodes cooler
Minimize electrode distortion
Reduce spark
Increase electrode life

Upset Welding (UW) Stud Welding
Contact & pressure eliminate flashing @ bulge Electric arc welding
Use less current but take longer time than FW Joining metal stud to a workpiece

AC current & air source (air pressure) High velocity electrons concentrated beam
A collet on the welding gun hold the stud away No shielding gas nor exerting pressure
from the workpiece
Air pressure drives stud against the workpiece
Tip touch workpiece high current & low
voltage discharge arc formation
Arcing time ~ 0.001 sec little heat, no
distortion nor fillet

Use constricted arc between nonconsumable DC current supplied by heavy duty DC rectifier
tungsten electrode Water cooling pump to cool the torch
Ionized gas (plasma) from torch shields Argon as shielding gas and/or plasma gas
electrode & welding area Helium as shielding gas
Heat generated by highly intensified electric arc Hand-held or mounted
(due to the injection of gas)
Superheated arc is concentrated into a narrow
stream

Ultrasonic Welding (USW) Ultrasonic Welding (USW)
Apply high frequency vibratory energy to Joining electrical & electronic components, Al
workpieces (held together under pressure) wire & sheet.
Oxygen react with metal to form oxides
Oxides attract water vapor, forming a film of
moisture on the oxidized metal surface.
Both moisture & oxide films act as barriers to
prevent atomic migration when two metals are in
contact.
To break the barrier, ultrasonic vibration is
applied surfaces close contact solid bond

Electroslag Welding (ESW) Electroslag Welding (ESW)
Welding process:
Heat from electrical arc melt flux
Once flux melted, arc is turn off
Slag is kept molten by heat generated as
electric current passing through the slag.

Electrogas Welding (EGW) Electrogas Welding (EGW)
Almost similar to ESW except the arc remains
struck during welding.
Shielding gas protects weld metal from air &
contamination.
Continuously feeding of filler wire electrode.
Water cooled copper to keep weld and slag
from breaking out.
Vertical welding.
