Protective clothing for welders Spending an entire day at the welding table is stressful. The UV radiation and the welding fumes are just some of the factors that can be dangerous if you do not have the right protection. The correct welding equipment makes the crucial difference in this area....
For the weld to be durable, the molten weld pool must be protected from oxygenation and effects of the surrounding air, for example with shielding gases or slag. The shielding gas is fed into the molten weld pool with the welding torch. The welding electrode is also coated with a material...
TIG cladding made easier In the supply industry, manufacturing companies like to use cladding cells to create a stable welding environment. The Fronius Compact Cladding Cell, or CCC for short, has proven to be a powerful and cost-effective solution in this regard. With a footprint of just six...

If you want to be a welder, and actually have a career, you can go to a welding school and learn how to weld, or you can try to be a welders helper and just learn the trade. Welding can be a tough job if you don’t know what you are doing or you do not enjoy doing it. ...
Modern methods use gas flame, electric arc, lasers, electron beam, friction and even ultrasound to join materials. Care needs to be taken with these processes as they can lead to burns, electric shock, damaged vision, exposure to radiation or inhaling of poisonous welding fumes and gases. ...
The noble gases argon and helium, or a mixture of these gases, are used as shielding gases. Argon is used most frequently as it provides optimal conditions for ignition and ensures a particularly stable arc. Helium conducts heat more efficiently than argon and therefore ensures deep and wide pe...
The demand and pay for welders and welding engineers is high. I have a friend who trained as a welder, and he travels all over the United States working on different work sites. While my buddy is a welder only, he workers with engineers who have more responsibility in seeing that the jo...
A boilermaker assembles boiler tanks using robotic or automatic welders and using hand and power tools and flame-cutting torches to align, cut, and shape pieces for a boiler. They use tools that remove irregular edges to fit parts. Cranes are sometimes used to lift plates into place so boile...
as pipefitters work with power tools and heavy equipment frequently. Working conditions may vary, but this occupation involves a lot of standing, and sometimes working in tight quarters for long periods of time. There is also occasional exposure to potentially harmful gases. In this situation, wor...
