MESSAGE
My warmest greetings to the Philippines Society of Mechanical Engineers
- Qatar Chapter, as you launch the second quarter issue of your newsletter –
“PSME Oryx”.
For the last few years that I had worked with PSME - Qatar Chapter since its
chartering in Dec. 2009, I am very pleased with its accomplishments. The PSME
- Qatar Chapter has by far been a very active chapter of the PSME not only in
the Middle East region being the host chapter of the First Middle East Regional
Convention, but up to the National Level. Your theme “PSME – Qatar: Molding
Filipino Mechanical Engineers into a Competitive & Excellent Global
Professionals,” is indicative of your desire to reinforce the prominent role that
the PSME- Qatar Chapter plays in the implementation of Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) for boosting the global competitiveness of
your members in readiness for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015
and Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) comes in April 2015.
Our continued presence as professionals in the Middle East and in other
parts of the globe is a clear manifestation of the confidence and trust in our
abilities as Mechanical Engineers by governments, state-owned and private
corporations and entities, as well as individual employers, whom some of you
have served for many years now. This indicates that you are ready and.
equipped as free flow of professional services will soon emerge between the
Philippines and ASEAN member countries
Lastly, I would like to congratulate all men behind the launching of the
second quarter issue of “PSME-Oryx” newsletter, headed by Engr. Ferdinand C.
Aves, President, PSME - Qatar Chapter, who shared their time and effort to
make it a success.
Again, CONGRATULATIONS and MABUHAY ang PSME-Qatar Chapter!

ABOUT WELDING
(Contributed by : Engr.Rene B. Cirio, PME)
Welding -Is the most economical and efficient way to join metals permanently. It is the way of joining two or
more pieces of metal to make them act as a single piece.
Types of Weldable Materials- Cast Iron, Carbon Steel, Low Alloy, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Magnesium, Copper,
Nickel, Titanium Lead, Zinc, Thermoplastic, Thermosets, Elastomers, Ceramics & Dissimilar materials.
Welders are employed in many industry groups, machinery manufacturers, power plants, oil and gas,
construction, and mining.
Welding Methods:
MMAW or SMAW
Welding with stick electrodes is called Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMAW) welding or Shielded Metal Arc
Welding (SMAW). It is the oldest and most versatile of the various arc welding processes.
TIG or GTAW
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding or Gas-Shielded Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is a process, which uses a nonconsumable solid tungsten electrode.
MIG/MAG or GMAW
With MIG (Metal Inert Gas) or MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding also called Gas-shielded Metal Arc Welding
(GMAW) an arc is maintained between a continuous solid wire electrode and the work piece.
Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)
Flux Cored Arc Welding is quite similar to MIG/MAG welding as far as operation and equipment are concerned.
However, the electrode is not solid but consists of a metal sheath surrounding a flux core.
Plasma Arc Welding
Plasma Arc Welding is a process, which is very similar to TIG welding. It is a development of the TIG method.
Other Methods: Resistance, Precision, Orbital, Projection, Hermetic, Ultrasonic, Seam. Laser & Micro Welding
SMAW or MMA
GTAW or TIG
MIG/MAG or GMAW
FCAW
PLASMA
Weld Joints Types:
Butt joint welding- is a welding technique used to connect parts which are nearly parallel and don't overlap.
Lap Joint- - a type of joint between two is overlapping metal parts in parallel planes.
T- type of joint produced when two metal parts are perpendicular to each other, forming the shape of the
letter "T.“
Corner Joint- A type of joint between two metal parts located at right angles to one another.
Edge Joint -A type of joint in which the surface of the two metal parts to be joined are parallel to one
another.
20
Butt Joint
Lap Joint
T-Joint(eq. Fillet)
Corner Joint
Edge Joint
COMMON TYPE OF WELD DEFECTS:
Cracks
Lack of fusion
Lack of penetration
Undercut
Porosity
Arc Strike
Samples of weld defect only focus on common type but there are a lot of weld defect, remember an indication
can be a called defect once it is compare to acceptance criteria per the require standard such as ASME, API, BS
etc..
WELDING RODS SAMPLE:
Filler Metal (normally use for TIG or GTAW welding)
Electrode (normally use in SMAW or MMA welding)
HOW TO QUALIFY A WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION (WPS) AND A WELDER
WELDING PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION TEST (WPQT)- A test administered to a welder to determine the
welder's capacity to perform a specific welding application. Welding performance qualification tests are specific to
a WPS.
WELDING PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION RECORD (WPQR)- written document that records the results of a weld
that has undergone weld testing and inspection (Refer to ASME Section IX latest edition Article 3).
WELDER QUALIFCATION OR CERTIFICATION-Welders are qualified through the testing of weld coupons. Weld
coupons are produced in accordance with the requirements of a Weld Procedure Specification (WPS). Other
variables are defined by the physical characteristics of the weld coupon and the manner in which it is welded to
determine the limits of the welder’s qualification (Refer to ASME Section IX latest edition Article 4).
WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION (WPS)- A WPS is a standard operating procedure developed by the
manufacturer that provides the welder with instructions for producing welds that will meet all Code requirements.
The WPS defines the conditions and limits under which a weld may be performed. Section IX defines specific
“essential variables” for the weld processes (Refer to ASME Section IX latest edition Article 5).
NOTE; WPS & Welder will be qualify once it satisfies the Visual, Non Destructive Test (NDT) such as radiography,
Ultrasonic, Penetrant Test, Magnetic Particle Test & Mechanical Testing such as Bend& Tensile, Impact. Test,
Macro Etch & Hardness Survey all as require by the international standards.
Some International Standards References: ASME IX-Welding &Brazing Qualification, ASME IV-Non Destructive
Examination, ASME II-Specs Welding Rods, AWS D1.1-Structural Welding , AWS B02.1-WPS Qualification, AWS
A05.1 & 5.18-Steel
