Hot Tips for Welders
By Mitch"

Have any of you welders ever wondered how in the H the guy next to you gets SO much more work done, yet doesn't seem to work any harder than you do? If you do manage. to keep up with him, you are probably all Jagged out at the end of the day, yet he is still fairly frssh. Here are some of the reasons why:
 Probably he can weld with eith' CT hand as well as with both, it only takes practice. Thus he cal put in a good bead in difficult place, using his of hand, rather than get a special staging built, CT, hanging in precarious or tir- ing position. Being able to weld with either ha-d saves time and energy. Practice using your of hand on some easy first bead, which will be covered up by finish beads later on.
 Then maybe he carries chip per's chisel in his box. This Is a flat chisei, ground to about three fourths inch width With this he can easily get rid of those exasper- ating gobs of metal that are SD hard to dislodge from narrow cor ners and openings A chisel also helps in the removal of slag, es- pecially "chromang' slag from the first bead is a bevel. This saves, time, energy and temper. Especi- ally temper.
 When he is nicely set in place where a great deal of welding can be done without much changing of position, he takes special care in getting his lead in a convenient position, and the same with box or old mitten. Then he just pours lit in, making minimum of mo- tions when changing rods or clean ing slag off. After an hour or % of this, he can walk around for a few minutes and still be ahead of the game
 Probably he has made a study of how to fill a bevel or put on a half-inch fillet with the fewest pos sible beads

using smaller rod with the same heat sometimes helps, too. But the only real cure is said to Dc an A. C. machine.
 Ever wonder why welding draws plates together or warps them out of shape or out of line? Heat iS supposed to expand metal, but this seems to contract 1t instead. If you are doing a butt weld, 1t tends to pull together, closing the space. The basemetal and the weld metal does expand where the heat of the arc is. But 1t cannot push the plates apart, because of the weld ing already done. For an inch or SO around the puddle, the metal Is in a plastic state, so this expan- sion results in straight and per- manent thickening of the plate iu this area. So when 1t cools of, the normal contraction just pulls it closer together, and there Is quite a lot of contraction for a molten state to normal temperature. Mak- ing proper allowances and using the correct procedure minimizes the harmful effects of this contrac- tion. The warping from fillet welds Is due to the same thing.
 How hot is the arc? It is said to be over two hundred and sev- enty degrees Fahrenheit. wouldn't know about that, but it sure is hot. Why are bare rods so seldom used? Because the metal crossing from the rod to the base metal in the form of a fine spray, is well above the melting point in temperature. Molten metal combines almost in- stantly with oxygen to form crust and so this must go right into the weld, all through 1t and into the base metal a bit. The crust has no strength, SO the weld is greatly weakened and will rust out com- pletely If not kept painted. A coated rod, on the other hand, puts no crust into the weld. The coat ing Is made of vegetable material and burns in the heat of the arc. surrounding the arc with a heavy gas having no oxygen In 1t so no crust goes into the weld. Bare rods also seem to have glue on the ends being very difficult to use. We have often wondered though where all those metal hairs come from that form across the space in a butt weld, as you put the
 first bead in. Ever noticed them?
The sub., 1944-08-31

Instead of a little bead with a half a dozen little beads over 1t he puts in a large first bead, then one or two big ones over 1t, and all that Is left IS one or two finish beads. He has become an expert in weaving a wide but solid bead in any position. The slag cleans off these wide beads very easily and slag cleaning takes time and energy. Also he does not need to move back and forth from end to end so many times.
 One of the greatest time savers is the ability to keep the arc di- rectly in the puddle at all times, using only a slight back and forth motion. Overhead welding is where this counts the most. Beginners sweep the arc around in great

 We'll admit that there were some differences in opinion among yuIi workers, but as a whole the greater majority agreed that the Union was right and backed it up.

Woes of Union Widows

 To have to explain to your chill dren that the man they see on such rare occasions Is their daddy and not the laundry man is also quite q problem.
 To have to compare the features of the man who comes rappina furtively at the door late at night begging entrance, to that of youa own husbands photograph, yet an other problem.

loops, losing a lot of metal, but with practice this looping can be done away with. By being able to do this, high production man puts most of the metal into the weld, making a longer bead with each rod and also using up the rod a bit faster. So he gets 1t done quicker and with no more work, or even less work than the fellow who loops the arc around puts in- to 1t.
 What to do about arc-blow? Well, there isn't very much you can do about 1t except to grit your teeth and do your best to get the metal in there. Sometimes 1t helps to start at the outside edge and work back to the previous point of weld ing, but you can't do this every where. lacking up the heat or
