The version I’d like to ask is: if hidden architectural steel is powder-coated, does…
When walking down an aisle in the food store, you see someone drop a can of soup. Although it’s a common occurrence-especially for me, I’m a klutz-it’s an example of Newton’s Law of Gravitation. …

. . . a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, especially one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence.
When people talk about the…
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), or Stick Welding, is an arc welding process completed by hand using an electrode covered with a flux laying the weld. The method uses a welding power supply that arcs the melting electrode to the metal. As it does so, it forms a small weld…
TIG welding is a gas shielded welding process producing welds using a non-consumable tungsten electrode. If a high-purity weld is needed, then TIG is the preferred method.
The exact nature of TIG welding contains a steep learning curve. …

My parents prepared me for life by sharing their knowledge and life experiences with me. Despite their best efforts, not all lessons penetrated my skull, nor did they teach me everything.
What follows is a list of things I…
Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding method using a continuously fed tubular consumable electrode containing a flux and a continual-voltage or, less commonly, a constant-current welding power supply.
Often, FCAW uses an externally existing shielding gas. …
For thousands of years, forge welding was the only welding game in town. Blacksmiths heated two pieces of metal until they were extremely hot and pounded them together.
The discovery of acetylene by Sir Edmund Davy in 1836 became the harbinger of change in welding methodology. Around the same time…
