Welding Cost Analysis by Process

This document compares the costs of different welding processes per inch diameter (ID) welded. It finds that gas metal arc welding (GMAW) has the lowest total cost per ID of 1.05 rupees, while flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) has a total cost of 1.58 rupees per ID. Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) has the highest total cost per ID of 2.84 rupees when used for fill up and final passes. The document also provides breakdowns of the variable costs that contribute to the total cost per welding process, such as consumables, labor, equipment and power.
