You will find great information on welding schools at www.weldingschools.com.
The American Welding Society has a list of schools at www.aws.org.
There is a tremendous importance of welding in engineering, there are even such things as welding engineers ( I am one). Welding is what holds the majority of structures together--bridges, cars, tractors, cranes, buildings, etc...If any engineer does not have a good understand of this very popular joining process major problems can exist, such as failures from designing a joint that is un-weldable. Most companies these days are trying to hire welding engineers to help with these problems. Welding can get very specialized with more technical metals and applications.
Depends on where you live check this site out for further info and other stuff http://www.academicinfo.net/online-courses/welding Good Luck I also have seen online courses
Yes heat resistant gloves are a good idea for welding though very thick leather welding gloves are most commonly used and safest. Global Industrial is good.
It is a good idea to purchase and utlize a welding fume extractor. There are different types of welding fume extractors and brands available for purchase.
For welding manganese and carbon steel, an E7018 electrode or rod is commonly used. This type of electrode provides strong and sturdy welds with good impact properties, making it suitable for joining these two materials. It is important to follow proper welding procedures and techniques when working with manganese and carbon steel to ensure a successful weld.
Welder is a tradesman who specializes in welding materials together. Welding is a process that joins materials. Hobart Welders is a brand of welding machines. And yes, they are good.
To achieve pretty welds in your welding projects, it is important to ensure that your welding equipment is in good condition and that you have the proper settings for the type of metal you are working with. Additionally, practice proper welding techniques such as maintaining a steady hand, using the correct welding speed, and ensuring proper penetration and fusion of the metal. Clean the metal surfaces before welding and use the appropriate filler material for a clean and strong weld. Regular practice and attention to detail will help you achieve aesthetically pleasing welds in your projects.
There are a number of good welding programs offered in the state of Ohio. Owens Community College has a certificate program, for example.
6011 is a good choice. 6013's also work well and (7014 is good if in position). Check MFG recommendation for polarity: I recall 7014's have less penetration running DCEP.
The Best welding trade school is located in Anchorage Alaska. As for the next top welding trade school is in Logan Utah, at the university. So good luck to you in this field.
