10 FACTS ABOUT WELDING

The process of welding has been around for centuries, with tools dating back to 1000 B.C. In the middle ages, when blacksmithing evolved, most metal products that came into production were welded by hammering techniques. Welding involves attaching sections of metal using extreme heat to melt materials. Once the metal cools, it solidifies and produces a solid bond. Welding is common across many industries, especially in the steel construction industry, where materials are welded together to create robust and reliable products. Here at Adams Gas, we’re a trusted gas supplier, so whether you’re looking for MIG welding gas or TIG welding gas, we’re sure to have what you need for your next project. You can choose from portable 2L gas bottles, or for more significant projects and business use, we’d recommend our 50L canister. Let’s look at some interesting facts about welding and the various techniques involved: 1. What is Wet and Dry Welding? Wet welding (or hyperbaric welding) has been around since the early 1930s and involves working at elevated pressures, normally underwater. The process of underwater wet welding uses shielded metal arc welding techniques where the welder is surrounded by water, including the electrode. On the other hand, dry welding involves working within high-pressure environments with insulation from the water around the weld site.
