Welding

  • Resistance welding

    During the early 1900s, resistance welding processes were being developed such as seam welding, spot welding, and flash butt welding. Each process required tradesmen to garner new skills and technique. With these new skills came new opportunities, particularly for the military. http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Oxyacetylene torch

    E. Fouch and F. Picard develops oxyacetylene torch in France.http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Thermit welding

    Hans Goldschmidt of Essen, Germany invented Thermit Welding an exothermic reaction between aluminum powder and a metal oxide.http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Flame cutting machine

    Leslie Hancock pioneered flame cutting machine where the burner followed the path of a magnetized stylus tracking around the contour of a metal template.http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Stud welding

    Stud welding was developed at the New York Navy Yard in 1930. This method quickly became popular among shipyards and construction sites. It was developed by the National Tube Company and was designed to make the longitudinal seams in pipes, for a pipe yard in Pennsylvania. http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Submerged Arc welding

    Developed by National Tube Co in Mckeesport, Pa by Robinoff. Later sold rights to Linde Air Products and renamed UNION-MELT. Used in late 1930s and early 1940s in shipyards and ordnance factories.British Corporation Register and Lloyd's introduce revised rules and approvals for the use of welding on ships. http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Atomic hydrogen arc welding

    Found that hydrogen was liberated releasing heat, which was 1/2 of the BTU of acetylene. Used primarily for tools steels.http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Dip soldering

    Used for Printed Wiring Boards to keep up with the development of electronic equipment such as, Television, radios, etc.http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

    Gas Tungsten Arc welding was found to be useful for welding magnesium in fighter planes, and later found it could weld stainless steel and aluminum,” buy Welding History.http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Cold pressure welding

    A solid state welding process that requires little or no heat or fusion to join two or more metals together.http://www.weldinghistory.org/whfolder/folder/wh1900.html

  • Breif Description of Welding

    Welding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts are fused together by means of heat, pressure or both forming a join as the parts cool. Welding is usually used on metals and thermoplastics but can also be used on wood.

  • How welding has changed from the 1900s to the 2000s

    During the past 50 years, welding technology has improved dramatically due to the use of robots and improvements in welding equipment. Welding parameters, such as hold and squeeze time, have also improved due to a better understanding of metal composition and strength.
