WELDING!!

HOW IS WELDING DONE

Arc welding uses an electrical arc to melt the work materials as well as filler material (sometimes called the welding rod) for welding joints. Arc welding involves attaching a grounding wire to the welding material or other metal surface. Once that lead is pulled away from the material, an electric arc is generated.

Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool causing fusion. … Welding also requires a form of shield to protect the filler metals or melted metals from being contaminated or oxidized.

IS WELDING DIFFICULT?

It’s not difficult to weld. Anyone can weld and make 2 pieces of metal stick together, although it does require some practice at a beginner/hobbyist level (this does not make you a “welder”). There are many welding processes and metals and all take time to learn, some easier than others.

But, welding can be moderately to very hard, depending upon the person. You can’t learn it from books or videos; it’s definitely a “hands-on” skill. … Not only from a skill standpoint, but welding takes it toll on the human body. It will damage your eyesight, it can damage your skin (both from UV radiation).

WELDING DOESN’T SHORTEN YOUR LIFE 🙂

Welding involves intense heat, high electrical current, dangerous fumes and very bright light so training in procedure and safety is very important but no, if done correctly should not shorten ones life.
