Welding Safety – Workplace health and safety QLD
WeldingTraining Personal protective equipment and clothing Dangers Gas welding The Welding Technology Institute of Australia (non-Queensland Government link) has issued a Technical Note on Health and Safety in Welding that provides practical advice on managing the risks associated with welding. TrainingWelders should be suitably trained and experienced for the work to be performed to minimise risks and hazards. When choosing someone to do welding work make sure the person has the necessary level of competence to do the work safely. Consider: •the person’s qualifications or statement of attainment; •if the […]
What is Plasma Cutting?
WHAT IS PLASMA CUTTING? Plasma cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch. In this process compressed air is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma. The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away […]
Tig Welding
Tig Welding, Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors […]
Buying a new welder, best welder be it Tig or Mig welder or just Arc
Looking to buy a new welder, the best welder, the super best tig welder or just the super dooper best mig welder? Keep searching the net for that answer, it appears everyone has the best. It is a good thing the universe is big enough for everyone to win but seriously …. This question is one that is often put to us by prospective customers. Of course most people looking to buy a welder will first consider the purchase of a new welder over that of a second hand welder. […]
