Welding
Nearly fifty percent of objects in the U.S are affected by welding, welding is the main driving force behind manufacturing. The history of welding dates back to 4000 B.C, although there is only proof of it dating back to 3700 B.C. Products were invented such as jewelry, utensils, and weapons like swords and spears. Although we use a different method than used in the bronze age, they both use the same method which is the melting of two metals to bond them together. Metals such as Iron, Bronze, Gold and silver were all used to weld. Thousands of years of welding gave us the life we have today. Blacksmiths in 3700 B.C. were the welders, blacksmiths crafted tools out of many different types of metals and sold them to the people in their towns. They were some of the most important people in this era because without them it would have been almost impossible for people to do the things that they had to do. Blacksmiths also created many different objects such as horseshoes, body armor and weapons. Welding in this time consist of heating two different pieces of metal together at a very high temperature in a fire, which causes them to bond. This type of welding takes a lot more time and effort but in reality is the same way we do it today only without electricity. Blacksmiths in a way not only crafted different …show more content…
Although these are the only different styles, scientist believe that there will be more techniques and types discovered in the near future. Each style of welding has its own history and uses, MIG welding is only used for thin or medium thick types of metal, TIG welding can be used for copper, titanium and to weld two different types of metals together, Arc welding uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and base materials to melt the metals at the welding point. Forging is just bonding two metals together using heat. Each one has its own uses and also gives welders the jobs that they have.
