  1. Welding UNDER WATER

  2. Objectives… • Identify the equipment for underwater welding. • Describe the underwater welding process. • List the reasons for welding underwater. Welding: Underwater

  3. Why Would You Weld Under Water? • It saves time. • It can be cheaper Welding: Underwater

  4. How Is It Done? • There are 3 main ways: • Preparing an enclosure filled with gas (helium) under pressure and have the welder fitted with protective equipment. • Wet underwater method, where the power of the arc generates a bubble of mixture of gases and the welding is done, more or less, normally, with special electrodes. • Build a pit, near where the welding will occur and take the water out.

  5. BUT… • The welder may need to learn how to dive first. Welding: Underwater

  7. New Processes A relatively new underwater welding process is “Friction Stud Welding”, which is used for military and commercial use.
