Abstract

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) offers high quality weld deposit that becomes suitable for higher alloy contents with low rate of deposition. Hot wire GTAW is a further development of the GTAW process which is used in industries that need high quality welding with high productivity. It is essential to have an automated welding machine in pump industries to increase productivity and quality which can also make the work easier for a welder. GTAW welding with hot wire for circumferential seam welding of motor body is a major development for pump industries which is required for good quality welding and mass production of the pump motor body. So it has been planned and designed a Special Purpose Welding Machine for Circumferential Seam Welding of Motor Body which will be a major challenge for all pump industries with latest technologies at low cost with respect to the current market scenario and also the customer requirements by analyzing and implementing their needs.
