Abstract

The paper describes TIG, SMAW, and SAW as basic welding processes used for pipe/tube welding in boiler production. The type of base metals, joint preparation, welding parameters, and shielding gases are the most important variables, which are defined in the WPS. For mechanized welding processes the most important is mechanical preparation of the edges of the edgesjoint. Welders' and operators' education and training and workshop control before, during, and after welding are integral parts of the quality assurance of the process.
