Practical Reliability, Availability and Acceptability Aspects of Modem Arc Welding Equipment

Abstract

The role of smart engineering process is to optimize its resources such as energy, material, labor, time to yield desired quality engineering goal etc. Arc welding equipment is engaged to feed its process to produce mechanical joints having diverse characteristics. Inverter technology provides multitude of benefits virtually to each entity associated with arc welding process. Still its acceptance among users, though gradual, is s\ow. India is in real upsurge in creating its infrastructure. The demand on welding equipment will be great. Hence, efficient system of welding should be in operation. This paper intends to clear wrong notions that inverter technology has inherent problem of reliability and availability that acts as hindrance for its acceptance in arc welding process.
