Metal+Fabrication

Metal Fabrication/Welding

notes: - Fabrication as an industrial term refers to building metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling. - Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. - the difference between the two is that welding you only weld that's all you do but it makes good money, fabrication is you make things using layouts to make things and using math skills. - Welding is a blue collar job, meaning physical work like lifting in this case welding, not siting at a desk doing papers. - fabrication is using math skills to make layouts of things that need to be built then build them like duct work. - layouts are pieces of metal placed in a pattern on a table - What welding dose is that it melts two metals so that if forms a pool of molten metal and when it cools it forms a joint of metal were you did the weld. - There are three major types of welding Stick(ARC), TIG, MIG welding.

Safety:  - ALWAYS WERE A WELDING HELMET WHEN WELDING you could go blind if yo don’t. - wear protective gear like gloves when welding and when handling sharp metal - make shower that everything is set up right - don’t use tools that you are not familiar with - when welding make shower that you have proper ventilation for the fums that come from the matereals <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- never play with the tool like there toys.
