...During the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s welding was invented. Welding has helped us in so many ways when something become broken. Not only are there many kinds of welding, but there is one that has to do with everybody’s favorite topic in chemistry, thermochemistry! That type of welding is called thermite welding. We all know that thermite can be dangerous and can destroy things, but with the railroads it can put things back together. “A blast furnace that fits in a vest pocket.” “In 1893, a German chemist, Dr, Hans Goldschmidt, was in Berlin, developing a process that could weld thick sections of steel together in the field. While doing that he made the process of thermite welding on accident. With that accident he discovered that thermite...

(Welding history is thorough to begin in Egypt in starting in 4000 B.C in seral civilization started with cooper then progressed bronze to silver to gold to iron.) (Jeff grill). Just like on down the time line they have discovered tin. (Humans started working with bronze between 3000 and 2000bc. During the bronze and small gold circular boxes.) (Jeff Grill). Just like all the golden statues in Rome or even Egypt. That’s how they made their swords amour helmets. (The Samurais made swords using soldering) (Jeff Grill). Just like a little way down the timeline. (Cobalt used by Persians to color glass) (Jeff Grill). The Persians used this technique to color glass to make a picture in the church windows. In Egypt they used a technique called brazing. (painting discovered of brazing on a tomb of Vizien Rekh-mi-re) (Jeff Grill). The Egyptians also use a blow pipe and soldering trick to make a cups or vases. (Egyptians used solider and a blow pipe to in 1330bc for metal soldering) (Jeff Grill). In the 1000bc they found out how to bend metal and make stuff. (Iron work started bending metal while the use of a furnace to produce...

...point in 2006, Stropki looked back on his company’s more than 100 years in the welding equipment and consumables industry with pride, wondering whether a strong push into India should be the next step in his company’s globalization. An India expansion had been considered for several years, but thus far the company had focused on growing its operations in China and elsewhere around the globe. If Stropki were to approve a significant allocation of resources toward an India expansion, he wondered what would be the best way to enter. He had a wealth of company lessons and experiences to apply to the India investment decision, as his company had had international operations since the 1940s, had struggled internationally in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and had gone on to regain its global competitive advantage in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During Stropki’s tenure as CEO since 2004, the company had further expanded globally and by 2006 owned manufacturing operations in 19 countries across five continents. Most recently, the company had enjoyed increasing success in China as a result of its aggressive expansion through both a joint venture and set of majority-owned plants. As Stropki opened the Cleveland newspaper to check the previous Sunday’s Cleveland Browns score, he wondered how he could apply the lessons of the Chinese experience in particular, to India.

Back in the good old days, blacksmiths and other crafty people would heat metals in a furnace and then weld them by hammering the red-hot metals together. By hammering the metals as they cooled, the weld would be made stronger. This heating-and-hammering method is known as forge welding. While forge welding worked quite well for most of the welding done back then, today's welding requirements are a bit more advanced. After...

...Welding Improvements Welding has always been an important aspect in the agriculture industry, from having to weld broken tractor parts back together to making the actual tractor. If you look around anywhere you go you are most likely to spot on something that has had some welding work done on it, welding plays a role in our everyday uses, so we all benefit from it, not just agriculturist. Welding dates back to the middle ages and throughout the years it has had many improvements in the tools used for welding and also in the safety equipment. Welding is definitely a difficult and dangerous occupation so every improvement, not only in the tools itself but also in personal protection equipment has been a step in the positive direction for the welding industry. Dating back to the middle and Iron ages, there have been examples of welding traced back to over 2000 years ago such as small gold boxes that were made by pressure welding or even pieces of iron that were found welded together in the eastern Mediterranean area. In the 19th century, though, is when welding, as we know it today, was invented. To begin this history trip, Mr. Edmund Davy was credited for the discovery of acetylene in 1836. Oxyacetylene is used in welding to this day, when acetylene combusts along with oxygen it can produce a flame over 3,330 degrees...

...CRAIG MANUFACTURING INTRODUCTION Craig Manufacturing was founded by Woodford Craig in 1946 as Craig Machine Shop. In the early years, they were servicing and selling cars and farm equipment. Later during 1950’s, the premier of New Brunswick helped them by getting order of snowplow from the minister of transportation. Craig began to focus on snowplows and snowplow attachments by operating at a 45,000-square-foot factory. Entire manufacturing facility was destroyed due to a fire accident on 2005. At that time, Woodford’s son John Craig joined the company and rebuilt the factory and the enabled the company to continue production in a 71,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in less than a year. Later in another two years, John Craig opened a new facility in Cambridge, with two new brand facilities. They were trying to become the leading manufacturers of industrial attachments in North America. They became success and famous manufacturers by supplying snowplow blades, producing snow blades and wings for wheel loaders and motor graders, the most common barriers used in snow removal. As there was enormous growth, they started producing buckets and other attachments for excavators. The main problem is, the company was losing out on sales due to highly seasonal nature of demand. The plant was fully loaded during 4 months of the year and was ignoring many possible requests for product. At the same time, they had many unused capacity in the plant. Most of the time they...

...1 Arc welding - an overview 1.I History of welding Methods for joining metals have been known for thousands of years, but for most of this period the only form of welding was forge welding by a blacksmith. A number of totally new welding principles emerged at the end of 19th century; sufficient electrical current could then be generated for resistance welding and arc welding. Arc welding was initially carried out using carbon electrodes, developed by Bemados, and was shortly followed by the use of steel rods. The Swede Oskar Kjellberg made an important advance when he developed and patented the coated electrode. The welding result was amazing and formed the foundation of the ESAB welding company. Figure 1. I Principle of Manual Metal Arc ( M M ) welding. Another early method of welding which was also developed at that time was gas welding. The use of acetylene and oxygen made it possible to produce a comparatively high flame temperature, 3100°C, which is higher than that of other hydrocarbon based gas. The intensity of all these heat sources enables heat to be generated in, or applied to, the workpiece quicker than it is conducted away into the surrounding metal. Consequently it is possible to generate a molten pool, which solidifies to form the unifying bond between the parts being joined. Figure 1.2 Submerged arc welding. © 2003, Woodhead Publishing Ltd WELDING PROCESSES HANDBOOK Later, in the 1930s, new methods were developed. Up until then, all metal-arc welding...
