T welding is a welding technique where the joint is formed in the shape of a T. It is most commonly used for components that require such a shape. The T-weld will have a base and another piece of metal that is attached to it like a T. The two pieces of metal are held together by welding either side of the T. The joint is formed by first cleaning both the metal surfaces that are to be weld. The metal is placed on top of the base metal in a vertical manner. The right side is first weld at the joint of the two metals. The welder would then proceed to weld the left side of the metal without leaving support to the horizontal metal. This way both the sides of the metal are joined together and the vertical metal is joined to the base metal forming a T shape. This technique, as the shape of the final piece becomes, is known as T- welding.

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011Firecracker welding
Thursday, June 16th, 2011A firecracker welding is a rare form of the shielded metal Arc Welding process. A butt weld is made use of in the form of welding. The electrode is stuck horizontal above the butt weld. The electric arc is then placed at one end of the electrode which would burn along the entire length of the electrode. The electrode is held in its place with the help of an adhesive tape or with the help of a copper block. Clamps can also be used to hold the electrode its place. There are many advantages for this form of welding. This process is semi automated. Also the equipment that is used is relatively cheap. The changing of the electrode is reduced which makes this process much faster than manual arc welding. Also this process can be applied in areas that are in accessible by normal welding process and there is very little actual skill that is involved in this form of welding.
Electro gas welding
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011The electro gas welding is a continuous welding process. In this process the arc is struck between the work piece and the electrode used. The arc is struck by keeping the electrode in a vertical position over the work piece. The arc that is used in this process is not extinguished like in electro slag welding. It is used throughout the welding process. With the help of this process we can make square groove welds on butt joints and t joints. This is especially useful in the shipbuilding industry. Also in the construction of storage tanks such a process is used. For a electro gas welding process, you need to have a constant voltage direct current welding power supply. This can be purchased from manufactures of welding products. If you have difficulty in locating such a supplier then you can always get in touch with such people with a simple search of the internet.
Atomic hydrogen welding
Monday, June 13th, 2011The atomic hydrogen welding is carried out with a shielded atmosphere of hydrogen. This welding is a form of arc welding that uses two metal tungsten electrodes for the process of welding. Tremendous heat is generated by the use of the hydrogen gas. The arc would work towards breaking up the hydrogen molecules. These molecules will later recombine and release tremendous amounts of energy. This energy can be used for welding. Also the presence of hydrogen gas will prevent the weld from contamination from other gasses that might affect the quality of weld. This form of welding is used to weld tungsten together which is one of the most difficult metals to weld due to the high energy requirements. The arc that is formed in maintained independently from the workpieces that are being welded. The heat of the welding process is controlled by varying the distance between the metal surface and the arc stream.
Equipments of welding
Thursday, June 9th, 2011Most people know the definition of welding by now. At least they should know welding is a term used in manufacturing industries which manufactures heavy and other steel related objects which we are most likely to use on a day to day basis. Nonetheless, welding is a process where two or more metal pieces are joined together with the help of a molten solution. The molten solution on cooling down forms a strong bond between the work pieces. This whole process depends heavily upon electricity and high heat transfer to be a successful one.
As mentioned earlier it is impossible to perform the art of welding without electricity and high heat energy transfer. As such there are certain equipments used in the welding which allows us to perform the necessary. They have actually revolutionized the manufacturing industries and improved the quality of welds beyond measures. Welding equipments as such involve a welding gun, a generator, spool with a nozzle, gas and the work pieces. Gas is necessary for running the generator which gives the necessary electricity and the welding gun along with spool and nozzle allows you to focus the heat energy upon the work pieces. Apart from these there are also welding safety equipments such as welding goggles, shield or mask, welding apparels and gloves etc.
Concentration as a key factor in welding
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011Have you ever imagined how the welding process actually works? Have you ever actually been involved in performing one? Do you aspire to become a professional welder? Firstly welding is a process or an art where two or more metal work pieces are joined together with the help of a molten solution which solidifies and forms a bond between them once it cools down. The process as such involves high electricity and intense heat transfer in order to generate the molten solution which is the basic essentiality of joining.
Welding is a very easy process to learn and adapt to. It all comes down to mastering the art and making perfect joints which comes over a period of regular practice. The electrodes involved when touches the metal creates an arc which allows the molten solution to precisely hit the right areas to form a necessary bond. It is very important for us to control the arc in order to do so whatever is mentioned above. Thus concentration is indeed the key factor in performing perfect welding job. The more you concentrate the more control you can get in doing the job. Practice in deed makes a man perfect and efficient.
Part time welding jobs
Friday, June 3rd, 2011Welding is a process or an art where two or more metal work pieces are joined together with the help of a molten solution which solidifies as a bond between them when cooled down. This is the basic definition which applies for all kinds of welding techniques out there in the industry. Eventually once the process is done, it all comes down to the quality of weld. The job you do should be in such a way that it should be as neat as possible and the joined work pieces should be as strong as possible.
Welding is a very simple process to perform. It is very easy to be learned. All you’ll have to do is attend small time courses and over a period of time with sufficient practice you can master the art. It is so easy that even a youngster new to the industry can perform it with much ease. It is fairly a good paying job as well if you are a student and looking forward to make ends meet. If you are student in engineering and you are looking forward for some practical exposure for gaining experience and at the same time earning some money for living there are several part time welding jobs available in the market.
X-ray welding
Thursday, June 2nd, 2011X-ray welding is one of the latest advances in welding technology. Just like the laser beam welding and the electron beam welding, in this type of welding, the thermal heat that is required for the weld is produced with the use of a focused high powered X-ray beam. This high powered beam will initiate a localized melting of the metal that will form the weld once it is cooled down. This process like the electron welding and laser welding again increases stability and is extremely fast. Also the accuracy of the weld is tremendously increased due to the high focus of the beam. However, this shares a common limitation. If the energy is not enough for the beam to penetrate the metal then it would form a molten pool of the metal on the surface. To overcome this, most often, a keyhole is formed in the joint that would let the heat penetrate the metal of the joint.
What is welding?
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011Welding is the process by the means of which two metals are joined through the application of heat. It is a common industrial process as well and can also be carried out at our homes for simple repairs. When the weld is made with a good forge, it is very hard to detect with the naked eye. Also the joint that is made though welding is strong and this can be used to make solid structures. There are different process associated with welding that increases the effectiveness of the weld. Welding can be used in many situations. This can include joining metals in a bridge together to form a strong connection to joining two metal rods in a window that would complete a structure. This way it has big and small applications. It is one of the primary methods meant for the joining of metals which helps to create strong bonds and connections between metals.
Welding Training and Research
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011There has been a lot of research in the field of welding. The use of welding to join metals has been so widespread that continuous efforts have been taken to improve on the standard and quality on welding. There has been a great amount of research that has gone into the whole process of welding which has resulted in welding becoming a staple and simple means to join two metals together. Today, the equipment that is available for welding help to create stronger joints and also the work can be done with more precision than it originally could have been done. CNC welding has become very popular in the industrial world today. There are many crash courses and workshops that are made for people who would like to take up their career as welders. The best subject to focus on would be CNC welding as this is the current scenario in the world of welding today.
