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

Objectives 3.1.1(a)(b)(c)(i)(ii)(d)(e)(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v) Introduction To make a fused joint the heat source must be capable of creating localized fusion in a controlled manner. Basic requirements for the production of a fully fused joint: Temperature should be `significantly above

There are lots job aids such like jigs‚ and pipe holders available to help welders do their job and minimize the risk of injury. Special chairs and creepers are available to provide support while performing welding tasks so that bad posture is avoided. There are many causes of injury in the welding field. Common causes of injury are repetitive gripping‚ twisting‚ repetitive reaching‚ and fatigue. Many injuries are developed when there is a mismatch between the capabilities of the worker and the demands

What is MIG Welding? Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding‚ also sometimes called Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is a process that was developed in the 1940s for welding aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. MIG welding is an automatic or semi-automatic process in which a wire connected to a source of direct current acts as an electrode to join two pieces of metal as it is continuously passed through a welding gun. A flow of an inert gas‚ originally argon‚ is also passed through the welding gun at the same

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus states in The Histories of the 5th century BC that Glaucus of Chios "was the man who single-handedly invented iron-welding."[1] Welding was used in the construction of the iron pillar in Delhi‚ India‚ erected about 310 AD and weighing 5.4 metric tons.[2] The Middle Ages brought advances in forge welding‚ in which blacksmiths

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

"Welding With Children" Language Analysis "He just stared at me‚ and i saw that he had no idea of what late was. Glendine‚ his mama‚ probably lets him fall asleep in front of the set every night. I pictured him crumpled up on that smelly shag rug she keeps in front of the TV to catch the spills and crumbs" (2). Within the passage it mentions that the child had no idea what late was. This indicates that his life is easy because he can fall asleep whenever he gets tired without a problem like he

Prof. A.R.Santha Kumar 3.3 Welding and welded connections Welding is the process of joining two pieces of metal by creating a strong metallurgical bond between them by heating or pressure or both. It is distinguished from other forms of mechanical connections‚ such as riveting or bolting‚ which are formed by friction or mechanical interlocking. It is one of the oldest and reliable methods of joining. Welding offers many advantages over bolting and riveting. Welding enables direct transfer of
