Bit Laser Welded

Bit Laser Welded

The Accepted methods for a TIG welding training curriculum go kind of like this:

• Begin tig welding on Mild Steel running beads without filler metal.
• Run Weld beads on mild steel with filler metal.
• Then weld corner joints, edge welds, lap joints, tee joints, butt joints in all different positions.

After all joints are welded successfully in all positions, the welding student moves on to stainless steel.

In conventional welding curriculum, Tig Welding Aluminum is attempted only after mastering steel because it is considered much harder to weld than either mild steel or stainless steel.

But what if we think outside the box a little bit?  What if a new trainee is introduced to aluminum after having just one day of mild steel welding under his belt and is then required to alternate between tig welding steel and aluminum from day to day? Would he learn slower? Would he or she become frustrated and quit? 

Here is my experience with this unconventional method : (And I am not guessing here because I have had the opportunity to test this theory)  What happens is this:  

• The new Tig welding trainee learns to feed the filler rod faster (because you just plain have to when you tig weld aluminum.)
• The trainee learns to adapt to different metal and weld puddle characteristics and understands the common denominators between the two.
• The new trainee is never bored and learning plateaus are fewer than with old conventional curriculum.
• The trainees knowledge of the affects of equipment adjustments on the arc are reinforced daily
• The trainee develops more heat control and an understanding of the thermal conductivity of metals. 

So why is this training method not used more?

Because on the front end, it is very labor intensive on the part of the instructor. There is no hanging out in the office surfing the net. The instructor has to be completely available for the first week to make sure things get started out right. 

The other side of the coin is that the benefits to the Tig welding student can be huge.

Laser Engraving $71.7 Laser engraving is the practice of using lasers to engrave or mark an object. The technique can be very technical and complex, and often a computer system is used to drive the movements of the laser head. Despite this complexity, very precise and clean engravings can be achieved at a high rate. The technique does not involve tool bits which contact the engraving surface and wear out. This is considered an advantage over alternative engraving technologies where bit heads have to be replaced regularly. The impact of laser engraving has been more pronounced for speciallydesigned laserable materials. These include polymer and novel metal alloys Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 84 Publication Date: 2010/04/24 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.20 inches

Laser Stars Projector $169.99 Caution: This product is more amazing in real life than on a two dimensional website As you should well know here at ThinkGeek we are constantly striving to find tools for you, our loyal customers, to aid in your quest for World Domination. But we also want to encourage you to come up with schemes to conquer the entire Universe (and any parallel universes you might stumble across while conquering this one). And to properly conquer the known Universe, you'll need a a nice reliable star map. The Laser Stars Projector is not that map, but it sure does seem like one. And the second most important thing a Universe conqueror might do besides conquering Universes is seeming to conquer Universes. Keeps you buttered up for the real thing. Ok, carrying on then... When you turn off your lights and turn this unit on - trust us - you will be bamboozled with star rapture. That's the only way we can describe it. Everybody who has seen the Laser Stars Projector in action at the ThinkGeek headquarters has at least one 'Oh My Gods, that's Frakking brilliant!' moment. But ThinkGeek, what IS the Laser Stars Projector really? It's a unit about 10inches tall that projects a combination of green laser stars and blue (slightly ultraviolet-ish blue) clouds onto your ceiling, walls, pets, etc. Both the clouds and the stars are constantly moving and morphing, just like a proper Universe should. And there are literally thousands of green laser stars to look at. There are two ways you can adjust your Laser Stars Projector, first you can pivot the projector itself 180 degrees horizontally around the base so that you can control *where* it is projecting in your room. It can literally fill up an entire ceiling and portions of several walls at once. And the other thing you can adjust is the intensity of the blue gaseous clouds, from zero to full intensity. ThinkGeek, I'm a techie. How does it really work? The Laser Stars Projector utilizes a state of the art Diode Pumped, Solid State (DPSS) green laser combined with custom developed multiphase diffractive holographic optics, super luminous diodes and precision motors to produce the laser stars effect. The coherent light produced by the DPSS laser passes through a passive diffractive holographic optical element, which in turn passes through a circular periodicity electromechanical wheel, which is driven by a precision motor to create the soothing motion of the star field. So there. Hurry, get one before your friends do. Then plug it in, turn it on, and tune out... Features: Uses Green Laser and Holographic technology 2 built-in precision glass lenses Creates thousands of stars with or without blue cloud formations Ac Adapter Included (US Only - 120V) Unit Dimensions: 10" tall x 9" wide x 7" deep Please note: It's difficult to portray what the Laser Stars Projector projects here in images because it works best in the dark. The images tend to mute the green stars and exaggerate the blue clouds a bit. But we've tried our b...
