A lot of skills today are looked over‚ and undermined. One of those skills is welding. Welding is more than just a blue collar job‚ and more than just sparks flying in the air. It is art. The art of joining metals and binding metals together‚ and requires more skill than the average person will ever know. Welding started in 1000 B.C. The history of welding begins with the discovery of shaping metals together from Copper‚ Bronze‚ Silver‚ Gold‚ and Iron‚ than so leading into steel. The first things

A Definition of Welding Welding is a joining process that produces a local coalescence of materials by heating‚ by applying pressure‚ or both. In essence‚ the welding process fuses the surfaces of two distinct elements to form a single unit. It encompasses a broad range of joining techniques that include fusion welding‚ solid state welding‚ weldbonding‚ diffusion welding‚ brazing‚ and soldering. The Scope and Impact of Welding Welding dates back to the earliest days of metalworking‚ and continues

For the assessment of risk In order to work safely in a welding environment‚ it is necessary to be able to identify hazards and assess risks. To do that‚ one needs information‚ education‚ training and experience in the appropriate field of work. Legislation Employers have a duty to provide information‚ instruction‚ training and supervision to ensure health and safety at work. Employees have a duty to take care of their own health and safety and those of others‚ and must not intentionally or recklessly

SUMMER INTERNSHIP REPORT FINITE ELEMENT TRANSIENT THERMAL ANALYSIS OF LASER WELDING PROCESS ABSTRACT In this project‚ Laser welding process has successfully been used for joining of two stainless steel plates. The sizes of the metal plates are 50mmX40mmX2mm each. The distribution of the temperature field in laser welding using stainless steel sheets were simulated by ANSYS. The thermal properties which have been used for thermal simulation are assumed to be varying with temperature

. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL Welding is a process used to join metal parts by producing a coalescence‚ called a weld‚ at a joint. Advances in welding technology have opened the way for innovative designs in structures and machinery. Of modern welding processes‚ the greatest number fall under the general classifications of arc welding‚ gas welding and cutting‚ resistance welding‚ and brazing. Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is one of the arc welding methods. This method is suitable for many kinds

UNDERWATER WELDING INTRODUCTION The fact that electric arc could operate was known for over a 100 years. The first ever underwater welding was carried out by British Admiralty – Dockyard for sealing leaking ship rivets below the water line. Underwater welding is an important tool for underwater fabrication works. In 1946‚ special waterproof electrodes were developed in Holland by ‘Van der Willingen’. In recent years the number of offshore structures including oil drilling rigs‚ pipelines‚ platforms

TIG welding T ungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is a high quality low deposition rate welding process. It uses an arc struck between a nonconsumable tungsten electrode and the work to fuse the base material and thereby form a welded joint. The TIG welding process may be used on thin sheet material without the addition of a filler metal (autogenous TIG welding). Alternatively‚ when working on thicker sheet or when joining dissimilar materials‚ a separate wire filler metal is added

previous 50 years‚ welding has become more productive‚ automated‚ and safer. Generally‚ the welding norm was resistance based and performed with big machinery. The aerospace industry spurred the innovation of new ways to weld thin metal. At this point in history‚ all welding systems had good and bad aspects; the choice should be made with a balance between the different capabilities of the systems‚ including its power requirements and limitations. Manufacturers used this welding technology to hold
