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

Evolution of Welding Welding? Yes‚ welding have you ever wonder how it has been revolutionised throughout the years. The man who created welding was Edmund Davy with the help of Sir. Humphry Davy in the late 1800’s. As the years go on the technique of weld was further advanced. With the evolution of welding many of the ways created back in the start have been adjusted and also have been modified for the use for the everyday welder. Welding is a very difficult and hard working job that can take a

The Process of underwater welding was first used back in the 1930’s by the soviet engineer Konstantinovich Khrenov. It was a very vast process used by the Soviet Navy. Today underwater welding is far more advanced and safer. Now‚ don’t get me wrong this procedure is immensely dangerous far beyond belief. This topic I chose was something I was very intrigued by‚ I want to become an exceptional welder‚ and this would be something to master in the future. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge on the

PROS AND CONS OF UNDERWATER WELDING To briefly present the advantages and disadvantages of underwater welding let us first separate this two compound words‚ the UNDERWATER and WELDING. Underwater is anywhere where this is water‚ either in low or in deep aquatic areas. Now‚ Welding is the action of burning something (particularly a metal) into creating or fixing something with the use of a high temperature to burn down or melt a metallic material so that it can be reformed. Combining this two concepts

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

Welding Outline 1. History of Welding a. Welding can be traced back to the Bronze Ages‚ where pressure welding was first developed. b. The Egyptians were also one of the first to use pressure welding. c. The blacksmith of the middle ages was the one to bring forge welding into the world. d. Early types of welding were used for holding items together for some project. As for the blacksmith in the Middle Ages it was more for horse shoes or fixing iron material

Homework research assignment Welding With the aid of a neat diagram explain what electric arc welding is. The dictionary defines electric arc welding as “A technique in which metals are welded using heat generated by an electric arc.” It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create and electric arc between an electrode (the dictionary defines electrode as “A conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object‚ substance‚ or region.”) and the base material to melt
