Explain about the process of welding and about welding symbols.

What will be an ideal response?


Welding is an old process that joins metal parts together. The finished welded part will then be able to withstand imposed loads. Many parts today are being fabricated manually or robotically using a welding process.

Complete welding and machining information is conveyed from a part designer to a welder, machinist, or a CNC programmer using graphic symbols. These symbols indicate the required type of weld, specific welding and machining dimensions, and other specifics required to fabricate a part. Standards are established for welding by the American Welding Society (AWS).
