Clamped down a aluminum bar to draw heat away. Used the blue soaked tissue to keep it cool after welding abit.
TWI is at the forefront of solid phase friction welding and processing technology. Active and innovative in welding research and development since the 1960s, we are responsive to industry needs and provide consultancy services to all industry sectors.
Support for industry includes: advice on component design, process selection & quality issues, troubleshooting, feasibility & pre-production trials, application & prototype equipment development.
TWI has been responsible for many key innovations and developments in solid phase joining; Friction stir welding was invented at TWI and was rapidly applied by industry; Linear friction welding was developed into a mature joining process for turbine blades.

This photograph, taken in the Hawthorn Leslie yard, Hebburn shows a worker welding both sides of a structure at once, c1960s.
Reference: 2931-43-20
This image is taken from an album produced by the world famous shipbuilding and engineering firm of Hawthorn Leslie. The album gives us a fascinating glimpse of life at the company's shipyard at Hebburn from the late 1930s to the 1960s. There are remarkable images of the men at work in the yard and a poignant series showing the terrible damage caused during the Second World War to HMS Kelly, one of Hawthorn Leslie's best loved ships.
This particular collection of images follows the Birth and ultimate Death of a ship. From the craft and pride in its production and the joy in its performance, to the devastation and price of its destruction.
A blog about this fascinating collection can been viewed here on the Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums website.

We are building a Go kart on school, so i took my camera with me to take some pictures. If some one is interested i could send the inventor pictures.
Part of a new series of images im starting all using a homemade welding glass filter......i hope in the future to gather enough images to produce a book or something......i would love other users input/thoughts on these imagesThanks
My Dad's Shop
This is the beginning of a new project I'm embarking upon in order to fill up some time. My dad has a shop in his basement, and it's absolutely full of stuff. I won't say crap, because it's not crap; it's amazing.
There's a band saw. A table saw. A scroll saw. There's even something (somewhere) called a Sawsall. Basically, if it has a blade, he's got it.
He makes lamps out of found wood. He restores tube radios from the '40s. He works on super secret "Tony, don't post pictures of this on the Internet" stuff for clients.
He welds. He solders. He sands. He grinds. He clamps. He is not a serial killer.
Coming soon: environmental portraits of my father in the glory of his man-cave.
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.

QB Fabrication and Welding is making the frames for the solar panels on Oregon's Solar Highway demonstration project.
After 2 years of saying "I would love to take some photos of your welding shop" I finally brought my camera over to John's welding shop. I was not disappointed.

About 3/4 of the way across the Weld River were some colourful rocks just below the surface with few reflections from the bright sky.

I don't have any 15mm(5/8") round bar on hand, and figured 1/2" was better than nothing. Welded 1/2" round bar to the hinge of the kickstand.
TIG welding aluminum is hard. Unlike the MIG or arc welding you have no idea of how hot the metal is, so we usually wound up melting right through.
Not nearly as blue a tinge to the light, and much brighter.
