Welding research paper outline

Intro

1.               Hook

Personal Story about welding at work and realizing how little was known on why no one was prepping their weld the same

2.               Motive

A) Nearly every plan in the sky has welding on it and the quality of the welding and the manufacturing of those parts is vital keeping a plane in the sky

B) Analytical approaches to welding such as the movement of the bead the prep of the weld and the actual welding application can vary and some even ask for more research themselves

C) A deeper understanding of welding will be fundamental in refining the process to not only increase manufacturing value, but to help keep everyone safe in the air

3.               Thesis  

Further research is required in welding joints to improve the manufacturing process of aerospace welds

Body:

1.               The basics of welding. Weld prep, Arcing, Torch movement and puddle movement in an easy to understand and basic approach. Use some of my simple quotes from un-scholarly sources to open in the first paragraph.

2.               Weld Prep The first step of weld and what is said about cleanliness, angle edge, clamping, setting up a machine and a comparison and contrast between welders.

3.               Arcing and the differences in the types of welding. The question must be asked why the different welding techniques are not documented on different materials in a spreadsheet format based on high tension requirements

4.               Torch movement and the variance between a manual weld and machine welds.  Yag Lasers welds and AMET welds and the different application, but testing per application must be done to find proper weld penetration

5.               Puddle Movement. The Differences between MIG, TIG manual welding and laser or machine welding. Why is welding no perfect with a machine. What are the limitations for further research.

Conclusion:

1.               Summary of what we currently know about welds in a simple format. Focusing mainly on further research into not just the weld itself, but the very first step being weld prep and the start of every quality weld coming down to the prep of the material and also to the preparation of the machine for the weld. This means taking the time to make test samples even on the manufacturing level and not just in the research level.

2.               Paint a picture- Take in the process improvements that not only increase the bottom line of manufacturing, but also further the development of a stronger and more accurate weld. The process although expensive comes with even greater rewards in quality and process. Savings from weld defects alone in a small aerospace company can be close to 25% of total rejections. That meaning reworking or even scrapping out due to not taking the time to fully understand a researching the weld of a specific part. The gains on quality will be just one more step towards keeping every plane in the sky and removing the fear or flying.

Reddit as a whole is an expressive, informative and strong social connection builder. It is creating communities around even the most basic ideas. This sense of community is the same as many of the great historical figures we can think of today. Whether that be Edgar Allen Poe’s expression through poetry, just as the Redditors under the sub Reddit r/poetry. The informative articles on renewable energy and the resources involved just as the wind turbine article in Reddit. The creation of strong social connections for womens rights or even women saving other women through the cotton club, Reddit ceases to amaze and comfort people on a much larger front, connecting people and being worthy of being a respectable mode of discourse. Reddit will continue on creating these communities and will not be surprising if it one day sparks a movement to change the world as we know it. A world full of people who look out for each other and continue to improve everyone’s way of life.

Welds always begin with       "Material has to be CLEAN CLEAN A good prep starts with a weld
prepping                                   CLEAN"                                           that doesn't have anything in the
                                                                                                            way
   

                                                                                                                  I would have to agree and it is seen through other sources to that

they all say the same thing.

                                                "No mill scale"                                   Mill scale relates to cleanliness
                                                                                                            and would be in the way

To complicate how do we define a

clean enough metal to weld on?

does it only start with scale or is

there more to it

Weld prep does not make up  "I also try to prep my material the          A good start to making an
for bad welding                        same every time that way I know         established variable that doesn't
                                                  if the weld looks like crap it is not       change
                                                 because of prep"

                                                                                                                 To complicate I would ask to

see what scientific tests have been

done with controlled variables and

manipulated variables

is never operationally defined the

                                                "Clamp may be required"                     Prep may not only what you do
                                                                                                              to the metal, but also the part as

be near impossible to weld to items

the two parts is too great
