This presentation discusses various types of welding processes used in shell manufacturing. It defines welding as a process of joining metals through heating with or without pressure and filler material. Welding types are classified based on whether filler material is used (autogenous vs. heterogeneous vs. homogeneous welding) and welding joints include butt, corner, T-fillet, and lap joints. Key factors influencing weldability like melting point and thermal properties are also mentioned. Flux is described as cleaning agents used to prevent contamination during welding. Advantages and disadvantages of different welding classifications are provided.
