Talk:Arc welding

message: I would like to add an outbound link to two great guides and resources that deal with the proper preparation and selection of material on tungsten electrodes. The link is at: www.diamondground.com/downloads.html. Do you feel that this would be appropriate?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.112.164.100 (talk) 20:59, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Valuable Links for Welding

message: As far as I can tell no such event ever happened. I don't know enough on the subject of arc welding to feel comfortable editing this page so if someone could take a look at it that would be great.

replies: text: That comes from a welding textbook that says, "German ships interned in New York Harbor at the outbreak of the war had been scuttled by their crews so that the vessels could not be used in the Allied war effort." The wording is rather poor, since "attack" implies an offensive from the outside, but technically the Germans did damage to the US through this.  I'll see about fixing the wording. —Spangineer[es] (háblame) 05:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Why are the inline citations in this article hidden? Wouldn't it be better if they were in a form like the recently featured Gas tungsten arc welding or Gas metal arc welding? QmunkE 09:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It probably would be better if they were visible, yes; I just haven't gotten around to converting them. --Spangineeres (háblame) 12:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hexavalent chromium is a new issue in welding safety and protocal.  OSHA has begun to set standards and limit exposure to hexavalent chromium.  It's a large issue at my work place presently.

replies: text: "New" is a bit inappropriate here, it was well-known when I was working in a research team in 1980. I vaguely remember that measuring the hexavalent chromiumn content was difficult for some reason. rudy 22:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I merely meant that it is now receiving more press.  I'm fully aware that it's not new.  I should've worded it differently.  Of course I wrongly implied that exposure is due only to welding.  It can come from cutting and grinding as well.(ROBZZZ 18:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Electrical safety

message: I was hoping to find some information about the temperatures that arc welding can create.  Also, temperature gradients, that is to say, how focused the temperature is, would also be interesting.  Come to think of it, I would like to know about typical energy requirements and the definition of low and high penetration.  Lon of Oakdale (talk) 19:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

message: If somebody wants to visualize an electron flow arc, a reverse polarity arc weld is the place to see it! The impact of the electron flow against the weld surface can be seen to be heating up the joint material and pushing it away from the point of contact. And the quality of the weld can be sensed by the quality of the metal build up within the weld and by the smoothness of the welding process.WFPM (talk) 21:10, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

message: The UV from arc welding can burn the skin severely if welding for any amount of time, I think this should be mentioned in the article as it is an important safety concern. Burns can be very severe after just a few minutes welding under certain circumstances.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.211.8.66 (talk) 22:02, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Please change "The French electrical inventor Auguste de Méritens produced the first carbon arc torch, patented in 1881, which was successfully used for welding lead in the manufacture of lead-acid batteries. In 1881–1882, a Russian inventor, Nikolai Bernardos and Polish Stanisław Olszewski, created the electric arc welding method for steel known as carbon arc welding, using carbon electrodes." to "Arc welding began with inventing arc welding of metals using a carbon electrode, presented by Nikolai Benardos at the International Exposition of Electricity, Paris in 1881 and patented together with Stanisław Olszewski in 1887. In the same year, French electrical inventor Auguste de Méritens invented also a carbon arc welding method, patented in 1881, which was successfully used for welding lead in the manufacture of lead-acid batteries." because information about the exact date of Méritens' invention doesn't exist. The only known information is that de Méritens patented his invention not until November 24, 1881 (http://www.google.com/patents/US471242). But Benardos demonstrated his invention already at the Paris exhibition of electricity in 1881 which took place from August 15, 1881 through to November 15, 1881 (without Stanisław Olszewski). Some sources: http://en.rime.de/sheet-metalworking/tig-welding/ or http://bulletin.is.gliwice.pl/PDF/2014/03/02_Turyk_Grobosz_Beginnings_of_submerged_arc_welding.pdf or http://www.ijetae.com/files/Volume2Issue12/IJETAE_1212_131.pdf). So there is no proof that Auguste de Méritens was first.
