Kagan McDonald Mrs. Wilmott SAE 2nd 10/1/13 Welding Risk and Safety Precautions Welding is a really good blue collar job that pays well‚ but has its ups and downs. Welders have to deal with hazardous welding fumes that can affect their health in numerous ways. There are several different types of welding fumes and mixtures that a welder can inhale while performing a welding task. A welder’s risk of getting sick from welding depends on the different types of metals being welded and the

first hit Headnote PROTECT YOURSELF‚ FELLOW WORKERS AND VEHICLES DURING THE WELDING PROCESS As vehicle construction becomes more complex‚ the methods by which they’re held together also changes. Originally‚ many bolts and other compression fasteners were used. Now. most vehicles are put together by one of several welding processes‚ ranging from resistance spot welding to gas metal arc (GMAW) or MIG (metal inert gas) welding to spray brazing. To understand what makes acceptable welds‚ think of this:

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

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
