Welding and Cutting

The best Welding School is University of Alaska in Anchorage Alaska. This campus features many communities on campus. If you don't want to travel all the way to Alaska then the second best one for welding is Utah State University in Logan, Utah.

Welding is not generally taught in college, except in centain industrial arts programs. To be certified as a welder, the standard course of instruction at a technical school has to be completed, and then an internship or apprenticeship completeted.

Aws Has a Visual inspection workshop reference manual. # VIW-M2006 but the manual and the test are written by two different enities are aren't much alike.

Welding is not for everyone. I am a Combination welder working in FL, I make $25 a hour. I also travel, so i get paid 75 dollars a working day. That comes out to be around $375 on top of my hourly pay. On 45 hour work week i make around $1300. This job will last for maybe 3 more months. After that i have to relocate, maybe to NC, this new jobmay actually pay more too. I do industrial work power plants, paper mills, chemical plants, and concrete plants, but i have to travel. If leaving home is not a option, shops are available. The pay is around $10- $13 dollars a hour. If you do drugs and cant really weld,by all means hire on there. If your a better person hire on with a company that pays $17 and up. These people understand welding! Places that build generators or airplane parts.

Anything important. Don't go weld for "Joe's Metal Doors". If your a illegal alien do it!

All in all, go for the top in welding. Work in a place where they respect the fact of a person exposing themselves to harmful rays and chemicals in the welding Fumes!

an aim for a project could be anything like," how to make a nutritious breakfast "

or "how to make an earthquake in your house

Classes for welding are to help you learn how to weld and how not to burn yourself. They have books on how to weld and everything to do with it.

depends on where you live. I live in western Canada and as a journeyman you can make from 28$ to over 100$/h if you want to work up north. Sometimes the average welder can make up to $32,880 yearly, it will also depend on what type of welding you are doing

New building construction especially skyscrapers, shipyards, ornamental iron shops, steel fabricators, vehicle assembly plants, oil wells and drilling platforms. These are all places that may need experienced welders. Approaching these job sites is one way to find a job. Another is to look on-line. You can check out a number of online resources such as http://www.hirewelders.com, http://weldingjobs.jobamatic.com/a/jbb/find-jobs, etc. Try a search on Google for welding jobs and you'll find a number of sites that list only welding jobs.

You can weld stainless steel to stainless steel using various welding methods such as TIG welding and MIG welding. However, it is best to get a professional to do the job. And understand that stainless steel does not weld very successfully under any circumstances - it will almost always, inevitably, break right next to the weld.

You turn on the Acetylene and ignite it, you start to add oxygen via the control valve. You will see the colour changes from yellow to blue. There are two shades of blue, one is slightly darker than the other. Once the inner blue cone is down to a nice roaring bright light you are more or less set up to weld. Get your Filler wire (welding rod) put on your welding goggles and lower the flame to the piece of metal you wish to weld. You will start to see the metal heat and become molten. The next part takes practice. Once the metal has turned molten immediately start to add the filler wire; keeping the torch at about 45º move along the metal adding the wire at a constant steady rate. Insufficient filler wire will result in either undercut or the pool dropping through. Too much wire or moving to fast will result in either a poor weld or no weld at all. Speed and angles do not need to be 100% correct find what is comfortable for you.

Remember Gas welding is Extremely Dangerous and you should take courses in it before attempting it.

I will add a couple of links for you to get a more detailed idea lower in the page under related, source links.

Correct current,travel speed, electrode angle, arc length

There is two technique of arc initiation, first TAPPING Technique and second SCRATCH Technique. TAPING Technique is generally use in GTAW and SCRATCH Technique is used for SMAW process.

This technique involves a continual stalling of the forward travel motion by traveling backwards slightly, into the previous deposited weld. This technique has two particular functions;

it helps improve the final microstructure, by reducing the solidification rate of the weld puddle and increases throat thickness.

The maintenance needed for the blades of cutting tools is sharpening or replacing the blades when they get dull. For power cutting tools, oil must be checked and added when low. If they have a spark plug, they must be replaced from time to time. For battery cutting tools, the battery must be charged when low and new ones must be purchased from time to time.

Powered cutting tools must be kept out of the rain. Blades of cutting tools need to be kept clean.

Depending upon the type of welding machine, its cost varies from Rs50.000 to more than Rs 1,00,000. Manufacturers like Artech welders, Roteckweld offers welding machines at affordable cost.

Shielded Metal Arc Welding, commonly called Stick welding.

A shielded electrode passes a current between itself and the workpiece.

Both the base-metal and the electrode are melted by the current and the electrode is consumed and deposited into the melted puddle forming the weldment.

Mig (GMAW) has almost replaced Stick (SMAW) in industry. Small machines can weld thin materials and larger machines weld metals of unlimited thickness. Mig is easy to use and has less waste (no stubs) than stick. Flux core wire produces a slag covering but bare wire w/gas leaves a clean weld.

Tack welding is short weld runs given when a work piece is assembled in strategic places. It help to combat pull in the metal associated with full welding runs. It also help in assembly and to rework material if mistakes in meterial measurements have been made as it is easy to break the tackweld of and start over

A welding mask is used to protect the face and head from sparks, flying metals and heat. It protects the eyes from dangerous ultraviolet light and infrared light. Without the mask, the cornea of the eye can be severely damaged.

This process, called the butt-weld process is the basis for our current pipe-making procedures. In his method, thin sheets of iron were heated and drawn through a cone-shaped opening. As the metal went through the opening, its edges curled up and created a pipe shape. The two ends were welded together to finish the pipe. The first manufacturing plant to use this process in the United States was opened in 1832 in Philadelphia. So the method is the two sides are welded as they butt together without overlapping. The same method is used to weld two pipes together as they are butted together and welded around the seams.

you shouldn't have to weld on a good gooseneck hitch. a good gooseneck is a bolt on accessory. check out the B&W turnover ball website http://www.turnoverball.com/

bennox is a high carbon steel material so low hydrogen or carbon steel electrodes are recommended
