The History of Metalworking
It has been pointed out that without fire, there would be no metalworking (nor metallurgy). It takes fire to heat metal so that it is malleable. It takes fire to heat ore so that metal can be extracted. Without fire, gold jewelry might be mankind’s only experience...
Metallurgy and Modern Metalworking
Metal may not make the world go ‘round, but it does make the world modern, in the most basic sense. Metal started out as esoteric substances hidden away in rocks. Once the properties of metals became known, those rocks became ore. The rest, as they say, is history....
The Importance of Shielding Gases
It’s all about integrity – not the welder’s, the weld’s. If you want a weld that is structurally sound – both now and in the long run – you want to implement a welding process that is gas-shielded. The weld pool or puddle is, during its creation, a very...
Argon-CO2 Welding
Argon and Carbon Dioxide are a match made in welding heaven. Argon is non-flammable and makes the ideal shielding gas for shielded arc welding.
Blended Gases For Stainless Steel Welding
Blended gases provide their combined properties to optimize the shielding process of shielded arc welding.
When to Use TIG Welding
First off, let’s make a quick distinction between MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. The difference may seem obvious in their titles. One uses metal and the other, tungsten. However, the form of those materials in the two processes...
HOW TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF DRY ICE
Dry Ice is a great cooling agent and an alternative to normal ice. It helps you achieve very cold freezing temperatures without it getting melted like a traditional ice made of water.
How to Safely Transport Cylinder Gases
Propane and butane are two regularly used Cylinder Gases. Mainly used for the purpose of fueling, they are both flammable and because of that, the use of both of these Cylinder Gases comes with some risk.
What is dry ice?
Dry ice is frozen CO2 and it is a regular part of the atmosphere of earth. It is that same gas that we exhale at the time of breathing, and that plants use during photosynthesis.
Butane
Natural gas is readily available and is one of the purest substances from which we get many other substances. Natural gas is one of the most efficient sources of fuel and energy.
Ethyl alcohol uses
One of the most important industrial chemicals is ethyl alcohol. It is also known as ethanol, grain alcohol, pure alcohol, and drinking alcohol. Ethyl alcohol a colorless liquid that is soluble in water.
Isopropyl alcohol
Isopropyl alcohol is the other name of the prevalent rubbing alcohol. It is miscible in water, ethanol, ether, and chloroform. It will dissolve in many oils, gums, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, and so on.
