Abstract
The structures of the great diesel engines, which are used in ship propulsion and in thermoelectric plants, are produced by electric welding process of elementary components worked out from steel sheets by oxygen cutting. There are four functional parts to be produced in welding department: the monobloc column, the bed plate, the air intake manifold and the gas exhaust manifold. The process plan consists of the following operations: handling and positioning, tack welding, welding and straightening.
