TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas)

end of the square tube capped off.

A little tricky welding. It gets too hot too quick.

Aluminum is a big heat sink and starts melting before you realize it.

Most of the seal is made by just fusing the material. Very little filler is used

The pvc pipe in background is my home made fumes extracting device.

This pipe is hooked up to an exhaust fan which sucks all the bad stuff to the outside.

Since its early beginnings as the British Welding Research Association in 1946, TWI has been at the forefront of arc welding development. For instance, we developed carbon dioxide (CO2) shielding for MIG/MAG welding, making the process viable for welding carbon steel, and built the first solid-state power sources, paving the way for thyristor and inverter technology.

A ship breaker uses a welding torch to cut scrap metal into pieces small enough to hoist out of the ship.

Ship breaking is the manual disassembly of retired ships. Here in Jarkarta, they are being broken in the water and on the bare ground, allowing scrap and toxic waste to pollute the surrounding waters. Read more about ship breaking on Wikipedia.

A closer look at the welds. The beads were not perfect and showed signs of low current, but it could be just the thing that did it. They fused well, and I could not knock them off with a hammer.

Welding on through the night

I love working on my hobbies with my younger brother, because it gives me the opportunity to capture these photographs

This is one of my favorite things to take pictures of. You never know how it will turn out.

Monday morning, my dad made an OW (please pronounce "oh double-you" to send to his brother.

 

Here's one with the light levels fixed so you can see what he's doing.

This guy is welding a very large Yankee Ferry!

Friction Stir Welding was invented by Wayne Thomas at TWI Ltd in 1991 and overcomes many of the problems associated with traditional joining techniques. Friction Stir Welding is a solid state process which produces welds of high quality in difficult to weld materials such as aluminium and is fast becoming the process of choice for manufacturing light weight transport structures such as boats, trains and aeroplanes.

this chap was welding bed frames together to be sold in a nearby shop. I asked if I could take a picture of him working and he kindly obliged.

i guess i was a little too close with the old camera, better luck next time

This is pretty much what it looked like from inside my welder's helmet. Everything completely dark with one really bright spot.

Not uploaded in a long time but I will be starting a new job as a web designer after spending the last year as a graphic designer. I have been looking to getting a new fresh website up and moving soon.

Crown Equipment uses a virtual welding machine as part of its welder training and qualification program. In addition to improving employee skills, Crown’s virtual welding program has significantly decreased the amount of scrap metal produced through traditional welder training. This initiative is just one element of Crown’s commitment to improving the sustainability of raw materials and its manufacturing processes, as shared in Crown’s recent ecologic™ report.

Welding and joining technologies are fundamental to engineering and manufacturing. Without the ability to make strong and durable connections between materials it would be impossible to produce the many different items we all rely on in our everyday lives – from the very large (buildings, pipelines, trains and bridges) to the very small (medical implants and electronic devices).

 

TWI has its roots in welding and joining technology and over many years has been responsible for developing and encouraging the adoption of new techniques and best practice in all industry sectors, providing its Members with the right manufacturing choices first time.

The new piece is welded and bolted into place on the northbound side of the 1st Avenue South Bridge. Crews had repaired the spot a few nights before, but found more cracks in the daylight. ^bt
