Assignment on History of Welding_2
IntroductionWhen we look at the power and precision machinery which are being used in the production welding, one might get confused of welding process and can easily consider it as a relatively new process. However, the reality is nowhere near it as the welding process is as old as the Bronze Age. Of course, they do not had the access to the advanced machinery which are currently being used by the welder but that doesn’t limit them to utilize the welding process. The welding process may have become advanced with the introduction of new tools but the basic processes still hold true. In the Bronze Age, people often uses the welding joints to create circular boxes made of gold and even after 2000 years these boxes can be found possessing same strength and durability.From those Bronze Age to the current age, the welding process has innovated to an extreme level. Laser Welding is the newest welding innovation of today’s era and is exceptionally efficient along with its easy handling and precision. It produces high quality weld with superbprecision and is the most popular welding process in the manufacturing industry.HistoryIn the ancient ages, the most frequently used welding process was the Forge Welding. The process involved heating of the metal just above its melting point and then placing the two metals on the anvil slightly overlapping with each other (Miller). The metal was then pounded such that the grains of the pieces gets collaborated before it solidifies. Though the process has certain limitation but still it’s being used in places without electricity. In the Iron Age and the Middle ages many tools of the welding process was developed but thewelding process which we knew today was invented in the 19th century (Delmar).
