Applicability of Firecracker Welding to Ship Production

Abstract

Firecracker welding is a particular version of the shielded metal-arc welding process. In this technique standard electrodes are used to automatically produce welds by placing them in the groove, starting the arc, and allowing it to travel along the joint. An investigation of firecracker welding was conducted to establish the procedures, specify the operating parameters and define the consumables for its use in shipyards.
