Shielded metal arc welding simple explanation. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, so today we are going to learn about shielded metal arc welding.
So, without wasting any time lets get started.

  • The operation of shielded metal arc welding is such that, an electric arc is generated by only touching the tip of a coated electrode against the workpiece and withdrawing it quickly at a distance which was sufficient to maintain the arc and this is the reason why we can also call it as manual metal arc welding.     
  • Shielded metal arc welding also is known as stick welding or flux shielded arc welding.
  • In shielded metal arc welding we use consumable electrode which means the flux is covered on the rod.
  • Shielded metal arc welding is mostly used to weld copper, iron, aluminium, nickel, etc.
  • For joining the metal electric arc is formed with the help of electric current. And the arc is formed in between the metal and the electrode.
  • The electric current is maybe in the form of alternating current or direct current.
  • The electrode tip is must be at some lower angle so that the tip of the electrode will not stick to the workpiece.
  • If it is in perpendicular direction then the tip of the electrode will stick to the workpiece and it makes the welding process difficult.
This the simple explanation about shielded metal arc welding and in this lecture video I have given you the proper and brief explanation about the working of shielded metal arc welding, advantages, disadvantages, applications, etc.



Please go and check out my channel and this video.

NBFM & WBFM (Narrow band frequency modulation & Wide band frequency modulation) simple explanation. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to learn about NBFM & WBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation & Wideband frequency modulation) in simple or easy way. So, without wasting any time lets get started. The information about NBFM & WBFM When the spectrum's efficiency is important or it is required then we use NBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation) is used.  But when better signal quality is required or when it is important then we use WBFM (Wideband frequency modulation). The term NBFM is used for those applications where the modulation index is less than or equal to 1. And the term WBFM is used for those applications where the modulation index is greater than or equal to 1. Now, let's see more difference between Narrow band frequency modulation(NBFM) and Wideband frequency modulation(WBFM). The term narrow-band and wide-band refer to the actual radio channel bandwidth. The purpose or advantage of using NBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation) The purpo...

Corona effect in transmission lines.| Explanation by Yuvi - Study Point

You all have heard about the Corona effect in transmission lines, now understand it in a simple way. This effect is a phenomenon which is associated with all transmission lines. At certain conditions, the electric field closer or near the energized conductors or components produces a tiny electric discharge or we can say corona which causes the surrounding air to ionize. And due to this ionization of surrounding air molecules of conductors, a luminous glow with hissing noise is produced which is known as Corona effect. Between the transmission lines, air act as a dielectric medium or we can say that air act as an insulator between current-carrying conductors. Between the conductors, voltage induces and if this voltage is of alternating nature then charging current will flow between the conductors. And the voltage of this transmission line and electric field intensity increases because of this charging conductor. There is a predetermined value of the electric field inten...

Difference between Alternator and Generator. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to see the simple difference between Alternator and Generator. So, without wasting any time lets get started. Alternator   An alternator is a machine that converts mechanical energy from a prime mover into the A.C electrical power at a specific frequency and voltage. Alternator induces an alternating current. The input supply in the alternator is taken from the stator.  The alternator has a variable output e.m.f. The alternator is smaller in size as compared to the generator and that's why it requires less space as compared to the generator. The output of the alternator is higher than the generator. The alternator has a wide range of rotation per minute (RPM). The armature of an alternator is stationary which means in an alternator, electricity is produced when the magnetic field spins inside the stator (winding of wire).    The alternator has a rotating magnetic field. A dead battery is can't be charged by an alterna...
