Dreamflyin: I'm a machinist with more than half a decade experience. Left school 2010. Running my family tech company. Please any welder with knowledge of where I could get a CO2 Mig welder? 15kg spool machine? Lots of us don't upgrade on our skills. Newer trends and efficient welding are turning out by the day. Check YouTube and alibaba for the latest equipments and skill. Get ready for the job, not let the job get ready for you. It's a technical field, so what you read in school just has a face value. What can you do and not, what did you study Well said đź‘Ź I'm not a welder but I follow your line of thoughtđź‘Ť |

Albertone:

The most I've seen welders get paid in most companies I've been to never surpassed 300k per month and in most cases it's for the most experienced. I've only worked as an independent contractor even at that my go home balance after purchasing materials used to pass 200k. Coupled with the dangers and stress, I believe it's not worth it, try seeing most company welders after some years, they don't look good at all. These are reason most welders always strive to learn pipe welding cos they pay higher even here in Nigeria and if one could travel abroad with the skills the least you would make per hour is over $40 as a professional. 3 Likes |

cyprel: Underwater welding is a technique that is employed in various marine engineering projects, wherein welding is carried out under the surface of the water. Underwater welding is generally performed on steel, and needs special diving skills on the part of the welder. The functions of an underwater welder include repairing pipelines, offshore oil platforms, ships, and other structures, which are submerged under the water. Considering that taking the entire structures out of water in order to repair them, is not only a herculean task, but also a very expensive one, it seems rather advisable to work on such structures, keeping them in situ. Underwater welding reduces the cost of the company by directly mending the damages under the water, thus saving time and a lot of money. The repairing is done by specialized welders, trained for the job. Underwater welding can be divided into two main types - dry welding and wet welding. Both these, come under the category of 'hyperbaric welding, a high pressure welding method. In dry underwater welding, the area which is supposed to be mended is enclosed in a chamber and the water is completely pumped out from that area. The underwater welder, then, performs his repairing work inside this specially prepared chamber, which is totally dry even though it is under the water. Wet welding, on the other hand, takes place in a setting which is completely wet.
Underwater Welding Death
an average death rate of 13-17%, this occupation could be considered one of the most deadly out there. An average of 30 out of 200 welders dies on the job.
Dangers on the Job
1. Danger of Electric Shock Electrocution can occur under water when equipment that is not properly tested for underwater welding is used. All equipment must be well insulted and waterproof electrode connected to it. 2. Possibility of an Explosion Explosion normally occurs with the involvement of hydrogen and oxygen that result in the forming of gas pockets. When these pockets are ignited that can become extremely lethal. 3. Decompression Sickness This is also referred to as divers disease where harmful gases such as nitrogen are inhaled by the diver from moving quickly between a high pressure to low pressure zone. This type of injury can result in rashes, sickness, joint pain, paralysis, or even death. 4. Breakdown of Dental Amalgam This is the result of a metallic taste in your mouth received from the magnetic field created as a secondary current in oral tissues. 5. Musculoskeletal Issues and Hearing Impairment Divers can run the risk of joint pain, muscle stiffness and various hearing impairments. 6. Cognitive Issues This injuries include loss of memory, inability to verbally reason, and more as a result of decompression sickness. 7. Drowning The failure of equipment can result in the diver drowning. 8. Lung, Ear, and Nose Damage This is the result of high pressure being exerted in the underwater environment. 9. Local Marine Animal Encounters Sharks, octopuses, and more can pose a risk and threat to the diver.
The underwater welders are, however, constantly in contact with their team members who are on the surface, in case they need any help. Immediate assistance is provided to them in cases of risks or if they happen to face any kind of trouble under the water. The underwater welders are also provided with sufficient air supply from the standard scuba breathing apparatus. Underwater welding can be a promising career for people, who love adventure and going to virtually inaccessible places. However, proper and adequate training is required in order to ensure the safety of the welder, and also to make sure that nothing goes wrong while the work is in progress and even after it is done.

Cornerstone001: I learnt a whole lot about welding and fabrication back in the days. I learnt the basics and advanced stages but it’s a very wide course I means from the categories of welding processes to the different welding and fabrication machines. Coupled with the wide range of safety precautions to be observed on each welding technique and or environment. I’d love to venture into the business aspect of it someday anyways That's nice. |
