    MIG welding which stands for Metal Inert Gas, also known as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between the wire electrode and the metal work piece. This then heats the metal work piece as well, causing them to melt and join together. Along with the wire electrode a protective gas called shielding gas is fed through the welding gun which shields the whole process of the weld from contaminants in the air. This process can be semi-automatic or fully automatic.…

    I learned that with welding with TIG on aluminum that if you bump the electrode and the fillet wire together it could mess up you current weld or the plate itself. When welding on aluminum while doing a tee joint its important to have the right arc length, torch angle, and amperage. Also I learned that when welding an aluminum tee joint it good to keep the beads small and get the puddle to flow into the corners.…

    Welding can be performed in a diverse range of locations such as underwater. However, not all forms of welding are the same. Some use gas while others use electric and some use the newest form of laser welding. Depending on the form and thickness of the material you were using would make a difference on the type of welding process you would have to use. Some of the most used welding techniques used are Arc, Electroslag, Flux-Cored, Gas Metal-Arc, Gas Tungsten-Arc, and Metal Inert Gas. Arc welding is popular for industrial, automotive, and farm repair because its equipment is relatively inexpensive and can be made portable. “More welders have learned this process than any other” (Galvery/Marlow 107). “Today there are more than one hundred welding processes recognized by the AWS” (Galvery/Marlow…

    The working hours are average about 40 hours a week but you also get overtime which could run up to 70 hours in a week. There is also many hazards the common ones are hot materials, the arc, and electricity but there are also many hazards from where your welding like pipeline you could have a pipeline explode or underwater welding you could drown. There is also safety equipment you must have like a welding hood, leather boots, safety glasses, welding gloves these are just some of what you will need. There may also be times you are in a confined space or share a space with others and work in awkward positions for hours…

    Welding Risk

    Ventilation is a major factor when welders are in confined spaces. Ventilation exhausts the fumes into the open where it will not harm people. Welders must also worry about electrocution. Any person who has welded for some time knows that it doesn’t take much to get shocked all it takes is for your body to ground out on the metal that is being welding. A welder can get grounded to metal easily if it is raining or the metal is wet and you have exposed skin touching the item being welded.…

    Health hazards from welding include exposures to metal fumes and to ultraviolet radiation. Safety hazards from these operation include burns, eye damage, electrical shocks, cuts and other. Many of these can be controlled with proper work practices and personal protective equipment (safety). Propers eye and face protection for welding safety varies depending on the particular task being performed. Helmet, hand shield, goggles, and safety glasses or combination of these are accepted must meet the test for transmission of radiant energy prescribed for the practice for occupational and educational Eye and Face Protection. Clothing shall provide sufficient coverage and be made of suitable materials to minimize skin burns caused by sparks spatter or radiation.…

    Welders actually use many other tools than just a standard TIG, MIG, and stick welder. Welders on a daily basis operate safety equipment and use safe work habits, such as wear safety glasses, inspect their clothing, and wear the proper shade tint while welding. This is very important because welders can get hurt very easily by not wearing the proper safety equipment. They also examine work pieces with straight edges or templates to ensure conformance to specifications. Welders also use hand and power tools to clean welds and work on parts. Welding also involves cutting the material. Welders cut material by suing a plasma cutter or with a torch. The plasma cutter is more efficient, but the torch is much more exciting in my opinion. The main thing a welder performs is welding. Welders will perform many different types of welds. The most common type of welding is SMAW welding, which stands for shielded metal arc welding. Stick welding involves using a shade 9 or 10 level tint. Stick welding is done by turning on the machine and attaching the clamp to another piece of metal. Next the welder has to strike the arc by touching the electrode to metals that needed to be welded. A MIG welder is actually stronger than a stick welder, just from my experience welding and learning from others. MIG welding is commonly referred to as wire welding. This is also called GMAW welding, which stands for gas metal arc welding. This type…

    The first part to any welding job, but especially this one is having the ability to read and interpret blueprints. Having a blueprint is the frame work to any job or project. If you are a skilled welder but can’t read a blueprint, how can you get the job done correctly? But thanks to a past mechatronics class in high school, I have some experience reading blueprints. After interpreting the blueprints for a sign, you can start to prep the metal for welding.…

    “Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.” (Helmut Jahn). Every welder has their distinct technique; no two welders weld alike. Indeed, welders are the ones responsible for the structure of a building by welding to pieces of metal together they are slowly placing it together. The education needed for a welder is basic all you need is a high school diploma. Their job responsibilities are melting two pieces of metal together. Depending on their employer will depend on the salary hey will receive and also the benefits they should get in the long run. Welding is the most economical and efficient way to join metal together to make a single piece therefore, identifying educational requirements, job responsibilities,…
