ABSTRACT
with the perennial problem of students suffering accidental burns while feeding
wire during the welding process in both oxy-acetylene and tungsten inert gas arc
welding processes.
ergonomically and safely feed filler wires into the weld puddle. Likewise, its
design considerations made use of locally and readily available materials as well
as the use of common machines, tools and equipment needed in its fabrication.
came out with the final analysis of its benefits for welding. Results of the tests
showed the effectiveness of the device in terms of speed in welding wherein the
device gave out a faster output owing to the elimination of unwanted stoppages
and interruptions caused by tired and heat exposed hands holding the filler wire.
Work output as per visual examination where the device was used also gave out
sound, straight and highly acceptable weld bead results attesting to the
Evaluation of its acceptability based on a five point criteria came out with
fabrication experts and senior welding students. The application of this device is
very broad, but most importantly its main target beneficiary is for the safety,
training and well being of students in the welding technology field. Likewise,
being in prototype stage, the device can still be further improved to enhance its
