WELDING UNDERWATER

WET WELDING UNDERWATER IS, AT PRESENT, A POOR JOINING TECHNIQUE USED FOR TEMPORARY REPAIR WORK ONLY. IN A DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, SPONSORED JOINTLY BY THE BRITISH OXYGEN COMPANY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY, ATTEMPTS ARE BEING MADE TO IMPROVE WELD QUALITY SO THAT WET WELDING CAN BE USED IN UNDERWATER STRUCTURAL WORK. WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUOUS-WIRE TECHNIQUES, COMPLETELY AUTOMATED UNDERWATER WELDING BECOMES A POSSIBILITY. THE USE OF A MINI-COMPUTER FOR STORING WELDING PROGRAMS IS CONSIDERED FEASIBLE. /AUTHOR/
