1. Introduction
The objective of this laboratory is to provide hands on experience of welding operation
and quality inspection. It has been widely used to facilitate joining or assembly.
MIG welding is a permanent joining of two materials, usually metals, by coalescence. It
is induced by a combination of temperature, pressure and metallurgical conditions. This
process is adding filler metal using electrode to the joint.

Describe in details
in lab report
Check quality of the welded part, resetting welding parameter for better result. Record all
setting parameters used.
Inspect the welded part (visual, dye penetrant or ultrasound test)
Sketch some defects found from welding process. Suggest countermeasure to overcome the
product defect found.
Discuss in details (in lab report)
o Electrode designation based on American Welding Society Standard
o NDT test in welding process.
o For ultrsound test, include the signal output and relate to the defect found in MIG welding.
4. Lab report
For your project report, provide the following:
1. Use a cover page similar to the labsheet format.
2. Contents for the report are;
Introduction
Raw materials
Process tools
Machines and their applications
Case study Process setting / Design consideration/ Product defect & countermeasure
Conclusion/Lesson learned
References
3. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this laboratory. Did the laboratory help you to
learn the material better? Explain why or why not.
4. The report should be done in MS Word and an equation editor should be used for all
equations.
5. Equations should be numbered and plots should be numbered and referenced with a
descriptive caption.
6. Each group must submit a hard copy of the report.
