What to think of the latest and greatest?
You may be reading this in the magazine that
was just delivered to your shop. Or maybe you are
reading this on your smartphone, a Mac, or a PC.
A tablet, perhaps?
The point is, there are many ways The WELDER
makes its way to your eyeballs—all of them pos-
sible because of advancements in technology.
You said you wanted choices in how you can read
the magazine, and we obliged: For several years,
you’ve been able to get The WELDER or any of
the other FMA publications in a physical or digital
format. Whether that change excited or frightened
subscribers, it happened because technology
made information easier to share and more acces-
sible.
That paragraph I just wrote rings true in many
other facets of life. And it rings true in many
aspects of metal fabrication, including welding.
Technology advancements might cause workers to
be excited or scared, but the ultimate objective is
to improve conditions for welders and shops.
In his latest column, Jim Mosman mentions
some of these improvements, some of which
coincidentally feature as topics highlighted in this
issue. He also has some news to share, but I’ll let
you read his column to find out.
I met Jim at an event at the Lincoln Electric
headquarters in the Cleveland area this October.
Along with chatting and giving me a tour of the
facility, he let me demo one of Lincoln’s virtual
reality welding trainers. This equipment is used
at the Lincoln Electric Weld School as one of the
tools to train students; grade their work; and as-
sess their travel angle, travel speed, distance, and
positioning skills almost instantly.

Laser welding and robotics are other examples
of evolving welding technology. Welders can now
fuse metals together using hand-held laser equip-
ment, something unfeasible not that long ago.
Advancements in robotics have made it possible
for welders to collaborate with welding robots, or
cobots, providing another option for shops.
Josh Welton brings up his chance encounter
with a Millermatic 35 in his latest piece. That
equipment has led to 50 years of upgrades in
Miller Electric’s MIG welding technology that likely
excited and scared people along the way.
Some people might take hybrid approaches
to tech. Sculptor Kevin Stone takes an old-school
approach to applying, designing, cutting, and fab-
ricating his large metal sculptures, having newer
welding machines at his disposal but not relying
on computer-aided equipment.
Maybe you have adapted some of the latest
technology into your shops; maybe you haven’t.
I’m still learning so much about this industry and
learning a lot about all of you and how you ap-
proach your work. Does the latest and greatest in
technology thrill or worry you? Do age and years
of experience make a difference in your response?

AWS offers certification
endorsement to CWIs/SCWIs
to perform WPS qualifications
The American
Welding So-

Miami, has
introduced
the welding
procedure qualifier endorsement, de-
veloped for existing certified welding
inspectors (CWIs) and senior certified
welding inspectors (SCWIs) who want
to conduct welding procedure specifi-
cation (WPS) qualifications.
The WPS’s qualifying process is a
mixture of engineering, metallurgy,
welding capability, and inspection.
To meet code requirements, the
WPS must be properly qualified by a
relevant engineering authority.
“While certified welding inspectors
have a fundamental knowledge of
WPS qualification, they require further
training and assessment,” said Denny
Smith, managing director of certifica-
tion. “CWIs or SCWIs who hold the
welding procedure qualifier endorse-
ment have demonstrated that they
are able to qualify WPSs with appro-
priate engineering oversight.”
Before sitting for the endorsement
exam, candidates are encouraged to
participate in either an in-person or
online training seminar—16 hours of
instruction provided in two and four
days, respectively.
“Participants will learn how to
assess project requirements, demon-
strate knowledge of process variables
and relevant documents, evaluate me-
chanical and nondestructive testing
for procedure qualification purposes,
prepare a PQR, establish ranges for
prequalified WPSs, and list ranges for
WPS qualified by testing,” said Alicia
Garcia, director of education.

 COVER STORY
Larger than life
Canadian sculptor’s metal sculptures
aim for scale, ambition, and beauty
By Rafael Guerrero
It all started with a gargoyle.
In 2003, Kevin Stone built his first metal sculpture, a
6-ft.-tall gargoyle. It was the first project shifting Stone’s
trajectory away from commercial stainless steel fabrica-
tion.
“I left the ferry industry and got into commercial
stainless. I was doing food and dairy equipment and
breweries and mostly sanitary stainless fabrication,”
said the Chilliwack, B.C. sculptor. “Through one of the
companies I was doing my stainless work with, they
asked me to build a sculpture. I started my first sculp-
ture using just scrap around the shop.”
In the two decades since, Stone, 53, has improved
upon his skills and built several metal sculptures, with
each one challenging size, scope, and ambition. Take,
for example, three current sculptures either recently
completed or in the works:
• A 55-ft.-long Tyrannosaurus rex.
• A 55-ft.-long “Game of Thrones” dragon.
• And a 6-ft.-tall aluminum bust of billionaire
Elon Musk.
12 The WELDER November/December 2022
Q&A_ND22.indd 12
Canadian sculptor Kevin Stone’s metal
sculptures tend to be large in scale and
ambition, attracting attention from people
everywhere. One example is a “Game of
Thrones” dragon he is currently working
on. Images: Kevin Stone
The Musk bust is completed, while the T. rex and
dragon sculptures will be ready later this year or in
2023.
Much of his work happens at his 4,000-sq.-ft. Shop
in British Columbia, where he likes to work with Miller
Electric welding machines, KMS Tools products, English
wheels, power hammers, metal shrinker stretchers, and
planishing hammers.
The WELDER spoke with Stone about his recent
projects, stainless steel, and influences.
TW: How big are some of these sculptures of yours?
KS: An older coiling dragon, head to tail, was 85 ft.,
made in mirror-polished stainless steel. He was 14 ft.
wide with the coils; 14 ft. tall; and coiled, he stood just
under 40 ft. long. That dragon weighed about 9,000 lbs.
A big eagle I built at the same time was a 40-ft. stain-
less steel [project]. The eagle weighed about 5,000 lbs.
Of the new pieces here, the “Game of Thrones”
dragon, is 55 ft. long from head to tail. Its wings are
folded, but if its wings were unfolded it would be over
90 ft. It also shoots fire as well. I have a propane puffer
system that I control with remote control and a small
11/3/22 4:50 PM
 remote-controlled computer to actuate all the valves
inside. It can shoot about a 12-ft. ball of fire about 20
ft. from his mouth. It’s a pretty cool fire system. The
wingspan, folded, is about 40 ft. wide. His head is only
about 8 ft. off the ground, but his tail goes up 35 ft. in
the air.
The T. rex is 55 ft. long and weighs about 17,000 lbs.
in mirror-polished stainless steel. The dragon is made
of steel but has been heat treated and colored with
heat. The coloring is done with a torch, so it has lots of
different dark colors and a little bit of rainbow colors
because of the torching.

TW: How did this Elon Musk bust project come

to life?
KS: I just did a big 6-ft. bust of Elon Musk’s face and
head. I did his whole head from a computer render-
ing. I was asked to do a project for a cryptocurrency
company.
[The crypto company] hired someone to design
them a crazy-looking sculpture for marketing. They
wanted Elon's head on a goat that’s riding a rocket to
l
nd Mars. They wanted to use it to market their cryptocur-
ople rency. At the end of their marketing, they want to drive
of it around and show it off. And they eventually want to
ng
take it to Elon and give it to him.
They initially wanted me to do the whole thing—the
head, the goat, the rocket, the whole works. I gave
them a price and how long it would take. It was quite a
big price—we’re talking about a million-dollar sculpture.
I get a lot of these inquiries. When they start seeing
the figures, they begin to realize how expensive these
projects are. When projects take more than a year, they
tend to be pretty pricey.
But these guys really loved my work. It was such
a weird project that initially my wife Michelle and I
thought it was Elon commissioning it.
Because they were in kind of a rush to get this done,
they were hoping to get this done in three to four
months. I told them it was completely unrealistic given
the amount of work.
But they still wanted me to build the head be-
cause they felt I had the skills to accomplish what they
needed. It was kind of a crazy fun project to be a part
of. This head was hand fabricated in aluminum; I usually
work in steel and stainless.

TW: How did this “Game of Thrones” dragon

originate?
KS: I got asked, “I want one of these eagles. Can you
make me one?” And I said, “Sure.” He goes, “I want
it this big, I want it in my roundabout.” When we got
Kevin Stone has been in the trades for about 30 years. Along
to talking, I told him, “I can build you anything you
with metal arts, Stone has worked in the ferry and commercial
want.” He thought about it, then got back to me. “Can stainless steel industries and on hot rods.

you build a big dragon? Like a big ‘Game of Thrones’
dragon?” And so, that’s where the “Game of Thrones”
dragon idea came from.
I was posting about that dragon on social media.
Then a rich entrepreneur in Miami saw a dragon of mine
on Instagram. He called me saying, “I want to buy your
dragon.” I told him, “Well, it’s actually a commission and
it’s not for sale. However, I have a big falcon I've been sit-
ting on. You could buy that if you want.”
So, I sent him pictures of the falcon I had built,
and he loved it. We negotiated a price, and he pur-

Musk for a cryptocurrency company.

chased my falcon and made arrangements to have it
shipped out to his gallery in Miami. He has an amazing
gallery. It was really an awesome opportunity for me to
have my sculpture in an amazing gallery for an amazing
client.
TW: And the T. rex sculpture?
KS: Someone contacted me about it. “Hey, I saw the
falcon you built. It’s fantastic. Could you build me a giant
T. rex? Since I was a kid, I've always wanted a life-size
chrome T. rex.” One thing led to another and now I'm
more than two-thirds of the way to finishing it. I’m build-
ing a 55-ft., mirror-polished stainless T. rex for this fella.
He ended up having a winter or summer home here in
B.C. He has a property by a lake, so that's where the T. rex
will be going. It's only about 300 miles from where I am.
TW: How long does it take to do these projects?
KS: The “Game of Thrones” dragon, I worked on it for
a year solid. And then it was in limbo for eight to 10
months. I did a little bit here and there to have some
progress going. But now we’re just finishing it up. The
total time it took to build that dragon was about 16 to 18
months.
And we’re about the same on the T. rex right now. It
was commissioned as a 20-month project, so the T. rex
was initially not to exceed 20 months' time. We're about
16 months into it and about one to two months to com-
pleting it. We should be under budget and on time with
the T. rex.
TW: Why is it that so many of your projects are ani-
mals and creatures?
KS: It's what people want. I'll build anything, from an Elon
Musk face to dragon to a bird to an abstract sculpture. I
think I'm capable of meeting any challenge. I like to be
challenged. It seems the more difficult the sculpture is,
the more interested I am in making it.
TW: What is it about stainless steel that it’s become
your go-to for most of your sculptures?
KS: Obviously, the beauty of it. It looks like chrome when
it's finished, especially a polished stainless steel piece.
My initial idea when building all these sculptures was to
have them in casinos and big, outdoor commercial spaces
where they could have water fountains. I envisioned
these sculptures to be on display in water and where they
wouldn’t rust and last forever.
The other thing is scale. I'm trying to build on a scale
that is larger than anyone else's. Make those monumen-
tal outdoor pieces that garner people’s attention and
become a focal point. I wanted to do larger-than-life
stainless steel pieces that are beautiful and have them as
landmark pieces in the outdoors.
11/3/22 4:51 PM

TW: What's something that might surprise
people about your work?
KS: A lot of people ask if these are all designed on
computers. No, it's all coming out of my head. I just
look at pictures and I design the engineering aspect
of it; the structural strength of it based on my expe-
riences. My experience in the trade has given me an

or something for cutting, I say, “No, ev-
erything is cut uniquely by hand.” I think
that is what makes my work unique.
I recommend anyone interested in
getting in the metal arts to get into the
metal shaping aspect of the auto indus-
try; learn how to make panels and beat
panels into shape and things like that.
That's life-changing knowledge when
you learn how to shape metal.
Also, learn how to draw. Drawing not only
teaches you how to look at things and draw the lines
and figure out what you’re going to build, it also
helps you visualize 3D shapes. It's going to help with
your vision of shaping metal and figuring out the
complicated pieces.

TW: What other projects do you have in the

works?
KS: I'm doing an 18-ft. eagle for the American Eagle
Foundation in Tennessee. The American Eagle Foun-
dation used to have their facility and rescue habitat
out of Dollywood and they had rescue eagles down
there. They're opening up their new facility down
there in Tennessee and they’re building a new hospi-
tal and habitat and visitors center. They reached out
and asked if I could do a big eagle for the front of
the visitors center.
That eagle is really neat, actually. The eagle they
want me to recreate is one called Challenger, a
rescue who is now 29 years old. Challenger was the
first eagle ever trained to fly inside stadiums when
they sing the national anthem. I'm building this
sculpture in dedication of Challenger and hopefully
it is an everlasting memorial.
He had to be engineered and be built strong
enough. I'm actually starting the structural frame
right now and my wife is getting ready to paper
template the body. I make all the body pieces using
paper. I template all the pieces I need to make. And
then make them out of steel and weld them on.

Many of Stone's sculptures are creatures or animals, such as

this polished stainless steel falcon.

After that I'll be doing a big abstract sculpture

called “Pearl of the Ocean.” It will be a 25-ft.-tall
stainless steel abstract, kind of a figure-eight-looking
shape that has a ball mounted to one of the spikes.
There's two arms that snake each other at the top.
One of them has a 48-in. steel ball that’s been
painted, done with an automotive paint that is cha-
meleon. It’s meant to represent a pearl.
It’s being built for a huge home in Cabo, Mexico.
This business owner from B.C. has a home there and
he wanted a sculpture to represent his home be-
cause his house is called “The Pearl of the Ocean.”
This is a great opportunity to show that I don’t just
do animals and more realistic types of pieces.

 LASER WELDING
Why hand-held
laser welding’s
time has come
How hand-held option
became more appealing
By John Bickley, Laura Garcia, and Bill Kallgren
For years, manufacturers across the industry have
used traditional welding techniques like MIG or TIG.
But along the way, these traditional techniques have
created constraints.
TIG welding, for example, is a time-consuming,
two-handed welding method that requires an expe-
rienced, highly skilled operator. It generates extreme
heat that deforms thin materials, has difficulty weld-
ing copper, and is limited when welding metals of
different thicknesses.
Meanwhile, MIG welding requires a consumable
wire, material precleaning, and beveled joints for
full-penetration welds on thick materials. Travel and
work angles are limited, and vertical positions can
be challenging.
With the industry constantly changing, manufac-
turers are looking for new ways to stay competitive.
They’ve come to realize this requires cost reduc-
tions, efficiency gains, and repeatable part quality.
There’s also a new challenge: enabling new welders
to be productive in a timely manner without sacrific-
ing quality. The American Welding Society indicates
the U.S. will have a deficit of 375,000 skilled welders
by 2023.
18 The WELDER November/December 2022
Laser Welding_ND22Welder.indd 18
This is why more manufacturers are switching to
newer welding methods, such as hand-held laser
welding, which can increase welding speeds up
to four times faster than MIG and TIG welding, to
improve productivity and precision.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LASER
WELDING?
For years, lasers were seen more as scientific instru-
ments than industrial tools, mainly due to the tradi-
tional use of optical elements and mirrors requiring
careful alignment and handling.
Pioneered in the 1990s by IPG Photonics, fiber
lasers were introduced to the market for industrial
applications. These laser sources are entirely solid
state. The simplicity of the fiber laser accounts for its
efficiency, compactness, robustness, and low cost,
which drive its success in the industrial applications.
Compared to legacy laser systems, fiber technology
provides higher output powers and a quality beam
at a lower cost with minimal maintenance required.
Laser technology improvements have made
laser welding an increasingly popular technique in
industries where high weld strength and repeatable
weld quality are important. The quality and brilliance
of fiber laser light precisely controls material heat

Advancements in laser welding have made

in ways that were not possible before. Welders

as wearing nonflammable clothing, long sleeves,
and welding clothes. IPG Photonics
input, which allows for welding thin materials. Lasers
are not limited just to steels; they also can weld
aluminum and copper. Even bimetallic welding is a
practical reality.
Fiber technology simplifies beam delivery technol-
ogy, opening up even more opportunities for process
improvements. Modern beam delivery technology
such as wobble welding, where the beam oscillates
back and forth, allows for the stabilization of the melt
pool, enhancing the process window (the ranges of
weld parameters) and minimizing poor or variable
part fit-up (within limits). In many cases, this elimi-
nates the need for post process grinding, reducing
labor costs.
Laser welding also can be automated for high-pro-
ductivity, high-yield manufacturing. Its high-precision
accuracy allows for joining small parts with low heat
input and minimal distortion.
In the beginning, the price limited its potential and
was a barrier to entry. In industrial applications, lasers
were expensive, required periodic refurbishment, and
were used only on high-value parts, typically integrat-
ed to a robot or a dedicated laser workstation.
These early lasers consumed significantly more
power than modern fiber lasers. This offers cost
savings on the bottom line. This efficiency also may

eliminate the need for chillers, making laser tech-
nology more portable than ever before. Finally,
when compared to traditional manual MIG and TIG
welding, laser welding is typically faster, improving
production output and boosting profits.
By consistently driving down the cost of the laser
source, improving the quality of light, and offering
unique beam delivery options, laser manufacturers
now can offer systems with a higher value proposi-
tion, making them more accessible and no longer
reserved for premium applications.
HOW DOES HAND-HELD LASER
WELDING WORK?
Economical laser sources combined with the flexibility
of fiber laser delivery provide unprecedented access
to hand-held laser welding.
But how does it work? In simple terms, the laser
power density melts the metal, eliminating the need
to strike an arc; the wobble function eliminates the
need to weave the bead manually; and in many
cases, wire feed is eliminated completely. The high
power density results in a smaller, more controlled
weld pool. With precise control of laser parameters,
heat distortion effects are reduced, making the pro-
cess accessible to unskilled operators and allowing
organizations to upskill their seasoned employees to
more value-added roles.
Equipment reliability was at one time a concern
with hand-held laser welding. The building block of
the fiber laser is the single-emitter diode, which has
a lifetime an order of magnitude longer than the
lifetimes of diode array or bar-stack alternatives. The
pumps are hermetically sealed to telecom standards
and are unaffected by humidity, dust, vibration, and
the most aggressive industrial environments.
With hand-held laser welding’s industrial
robustness, fiber lasers can be used to complement
basic factory automation, further improving efficiency
in production. With the relatively recent explosion
in collaborative robot technology (cobots), basic
levels of factory automation are within reach of
many production floors. Cobots are inherently
synergistic with hand-held laser welding technology
because they are cost effective and simple to use
and deploy. The robot’s flexibility combined with the
capabilities of hand-held laser welding technology
make it suitable for lower-volume, high-product-mix
environments. If it can be welded by hand, it likely
can be welded with a cobot. This can further improve
laser welding productivity, by allowing you to preload
a part fixture while the cobot performs a weld on a
separate fixture.

A HAND-HELD LASER?
Not at all. Hand-held laser welding systems are
typically provided with presets for common material
types and thicknesses. Simple controls allow you to
select the correct preset by choosing the material
type and thickness from a table and setting the
controls to the identified settings. In the case of
a cobot integration, the cobot can be configured
to select the correct settings automatically for the
project at hand.

THE WELDS LOOK GREAT, BUT ARE

THEY STRONG?
Hand-held laser welding yields superior aesthetics,
but are looks too good to be true? To answer this
question, IPG prepared some samples and sent
them to Sturbridge Metallurgical Services Inc. for
third-party evaluation.
Butt joints in plates of 0.036 in., 0.075 in.,
and 0.120 in. were produced, and sections were
prepared using ASTM standard methodology and
inspected at 50 times the magnification. A total of
26 cross sections were inspected. In all cases, no
cracking, incomplete fusion, porosity, inclusions, or
other defects were noted. The weld profiles passed
all tests and no underfill was noted.
All weld samples were found to be acceptable
to AWS D17.1:2017 Class A standards.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO WITH MY HAND-HELD

LASER?
Depending on the system, hand-held laser weld-
ing is available in configurations enabling up to
6-mm, full-penetration welds. Furthermore, some
system configurations can also be used for part

system. IPG Photonics
A hand-held laser’s cleaning capability also can
be used to prevent corrosion and passivate the
material after welding. IPG prepared some welds
subject to ASTM B117-19, Standard Practice for
Operating Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus and sent
them to SMS. A side-by-side comparison of a laser-
passivated weld and an unpassivated weld showed
the success of laser passivation.

WHAT ARE SOME SAFETY GUIDELINES?

Even though a hand-held laser is easy to use
and has built-in safety features, it’s important to
remember that it is a powerful piece of industrial
equipment. When using a hand-held laser, remem-
ber that beams can be dangerous to the body and

eyes. A laser welding beam is invisible, so you can-
not rely on visual cues to guarantee safety.
While these systems are Class IV lasers, safety
features are integrated into the systems to protect
you. When establishing a laser safety program, a
good starting point is to review ANSI Z136.1 (2014),
Safe Use of Lasers. In addition to laser safety, you
need to implement traditional welding safety
requirement.
Here are some general rules to follow:
• Perform all laser welding tasks within a laser
controlled area (LCA)—a light-tight room with elec-
trical interlocks that turn off the laser beam when a
door is opened.
• Wear nonflammable clothing, long sleeves, and
welding clothes. Anyone present in the LCA must
use personal protective equipment, including laser
safety glasses rated for the laser type and a tradi-
tional welding helmet.

• Follow operating safety procedures, taking into
account that the laser light can be reflected.
• Never operate a hand-held laser welder with-
out becoming fully familiar with the safety require-
ments and procedures documented in the manufac-
turer’s equipment handbook, which requires you to
follow the guidance in Z136.1.
IS HAND-HELD LASER WELDING RIGHT
FOR ME?
Being in the manufacturing business means find-
ing new ways to stay competitive and improving
processes. Welding can be time- and energy-con-
suming; without the right equipment, it can become
accessible only to high-skilled craftsmen.
Manual laser welding enables fast welding; is
easy to learn and operate; and provides high-quality,
consistent results across a wider range of materials
and thicknesses with minimal distortion, deforma-
tion, undercut, or burn-through. It provides com-
plete penetration and minimizes welding defects,
such as cracks or incomplete fusion.
If you’re looking to reduce your costs, improve
weld quality, and simplify the weld process, hand-
held laser welding will give you the best path to
both success and improved profitability, all while
allowing someone with no professional welding
experience to weld like a pro.

How to attract a new

generation of welders with
advanced technologies
Cobots, software and recruiting welders

By Rob Goldiez

The welder shortage has plagued manufacturers and fabricators for years. A global
pandemic, a shifting job market, and generational trends only have exacerbated the
matter.
On the one hand, many experienced welders—those tried-and-true pros who have
seen it all—edge increasingly closer to retirement or, because of burnout or disen-
chantment, embark on entirely new careers. On the other hand, as the manufacturing
sector knows all too well, millennials and Generation Z (and even Generation Alpha)
have an entirely different perspective on working in production or manual jobs.
Despite the staffing doom and gloom, strategies exist that can help any welding or
manufacturing team looking to hire skilled welders or the few-and-far-between new-
comers to the art of welding.
It starts with technology.

Welders shouldn’t
fear losing their jobs,
because robots will
always need people
to run them.
Needless to say, it takes a multipronged ap-
proach to attract and retain top talent, regardless of
a candidate’s age. However, it is important never to
underestimate the power of technology to lure the
best applicants in the field.
THE WELDERS WITH THE CRED: ARE THEY
REALLY THAT TECHNOPHOBIC?
The simplistic answer would be yes. Older welders
get down to brass tacks, do the job, and call it a day.
No need for any fancy tech here.
The weathered welders may be skeptical about
advanced technologies, such as traditional robotic
welding systems or new welding cobots. The sheer
fear of losing control over their jobs is real, as is
apprehension about being fired as a business relies
more and more on robotic automation.

OF YEAR CUTOFFS, HAVE ONE
THING IN COMMON: TECH PLAYS
AN INTEGRAL PART IN THEIR
DAY-TO-DAY LIVES.
While it stands to reason some older welders pre-
fer the same way of doing things, there is an inkling
of hope. They can be swayed by understanding the
true benefits that welding cobots, app-based solu-
tions, and other technologies can bring to the table.

dangerous, and it can be hard work. Skilled welders

may feel threatened that robots will take over their
jobs. However, if you educate them on the advantag-
es of automated welding systems, you can change
the conversation entirely.
Imagine telling your welders that welding robots
will handle all the mundane and repetitive jobs. Envi-
sion a follow-up conversation explaining that they
can work on more complex, important, and strategic
tasks. It may take them a bit of time at first, but if you
involve them in your Industry 4.0 project right from
the start and invest in training, you are likely to no-
tice earlier adoption than you ever thought possible.
ENTICE TECH-FIRST WELDING EMPLOYEES
The World Economic Forum states that millenni-
als and Generation Z will make up more than half
the workforce by 2025, with Gen Z–or those born
between the mid-1990s and late 2000s–to make up
about 27% of the workforce. That is just a few years
away.
Gen Z has different work priorities, as the World
Economic Forum explains in an 2022 article. Accord-
ing to its findings:
• They are less concerned with salary.
• They want to work for companies that share
their values and foster a work/life balance.
• “Implementing training and reskilling pro-
grams” is one of the top five ways to attract and
retain the future workforce.
New generations, regardless of year cutoffs, have
one thing in common: Tech plays an integral part
in their day-to-day lives. They focus on being up to
date on the latest technology that makes their lives
easier. They navigate easily through fresh new ap-

Welding by the numbers
Classifying popular stick electrodes
By Olivier Arnoult
When you pick up a shielded metal arc welding
(SMAW) holder, you face a wide choice of elec-
trodes. But not all SMAW consumables, also known
as stick, work for every material or job.
Deciding which to use and avoiding any weld
defects or failures as a result of your decision comes
down to multiple factors. When choosing a welding
rod for a job, you should ensure it matches the base

metal’s composition, thickness, and tensile strength.
You also need to consider joint fit-up, weld length,
travel direction, and weld position.
The American Welding Society (AWS) simplified
the process with a numbering system that can tell
you about specific electrodes, what applications
work best for them, and how they should be used to
maximize performance. Let’s take a look at how this
works and what it means for three commonly used
welding rods: E6010, E6011, and E7018.

UNDERSTANDING THE NUMBERING SYSTEM

The AWS numbering system has all stick welding
electrode classifications start with the letter “E.” That
letter designates that it's an arc welding electrode.
The first two numbers following the “E” indicate
the electrode’s tensile strength. The next-to-last
digit indicates position. The number “1” means it’s
an all-position electrode; a “2” indicates you should
use the electrode for flat and horizontal positions;
while a “4” means it would work best for flat, hori-
zontal, vertical down, and overhead. The last digit
covers the type of electrode flux coating, whether
it’s direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC),
and the penetration level required to get a quality
weld.

BREAKING DOWN FREQUENTLY USED

ELECTRODES
That “E” and the following four or five digits tell
quite a bit about the electrode. As a welder, you’ll

to X52-grade pipe. E6010 electrodes work well for
welding large-diameter pipelines in the vertical-down
position (“stove-piping”). These electrodes also are
capable of X-ray-quality welds out of position.
Something to keep in mind, however, is if the
pipe strength is higher, you’ll also need higher-
strength cellulosic electrodes that have the same
welding characteristics as an E6010, such as E7010
or E8010.
E6011 electrodes produce a forceful, spray-type
arc with excellent mechanical properties when used
with either AC or direct current electrode positive
(DCEP) power sources. They tend to be a first-choice
stick consumable for repair and maintenance work
when DC equipment is unavailable, and they work
well with sheet metal welding and low-silicon-
deposit applications.
E6011 electrodes can be used with medium- and
high-carbon and low-alloy steel in such applications
as general fabrication, shipbuilding and repair, rail

E7018 electrodes. Arguably the most popular
stick electrode today is the low-hydrogen E7018,
which produces quality welds with excellent tough-
ness and high ductility. It’s used for welding metals
with an increased risk of weld bead cracking under
certain conditions, like vibratory stress. This elec-
trode reduces the risk of hydrogen embrittlement
cracking that can occur when you’re welding thick
sections of the base material.
The “70” in its nomenclature means the elec-
trode has a tensile strength of 70,000 PSI, while the
“1” in the third-digit slot again means this welding
consumable has a smooth arc and a clear puddle
in nearly all positions. The only direction the E7018
doesn’t work in is vertical down.

reasons to consider alternate fuels in
heating and cutting torch applications
Should you switch from acetylene to something else?

As shops look for production improvements

and cost savings, a shift away from acetylene
to alternate fuels for oxyfuel cutting and
heating may be the answer.

Alternate Fuels_ND22.indd 30 11/3/22 11:20 AM


By Timothy Reading
Oxyfuel—a combination of oxygen
and fuel gas—has been used for
flame cutting, brazing, welding,
heating, and a variety of other ap-
plications for more than 100 years.
The most commonly used fuel gas
for this process is acetylene.
As shops look for production
improvements and cost savings, it’s
important to optimize these process-
es by combining proper fuel gases
with the right equipment. One of the
best ways to do that is to replace
acetylene with alternate fuels for
heating and cutting.
Using an alternate fuel like
propane, propylene, natural gas, or
proprietary gas blends can provide
numerous cost and performance benefits. Here are
four reasons to consider switching to alternate fuels:
1. LOW OVERALL COST
Compared to acetylene, the overall cost of using
alternate fuels for cutting and heating applications is
considerably lower.
Alternate fuels have higher BTU numbers per cu-
bic foot than acetylene, which means higher BTU per
cylinder. A No. 5 acetylene cylinder has roughly 320
cu. ft. of gas, which equates to 470,400 BTU. A simi-
lar sized 100-lb. propane cylinder (propane has 8.66
cu. ft./lbs. and 2,563 BTU/cu. ft.) contains 2,219,558
BTU. It will take five acetylene cylinders to do the
same amount of work as one alternate-fuel cylinder.
Fewer gas cylinders also mean lower handling costs,
lower rental charges, and less storage space.
In short, alternate fuels provide more BTUs per
dollar spent. This can make a significant difference
over the course of just one day on the shop floor.
Compound this over a week, a month, or a year and
the savings multiply.
2. SAFETY
There are many restrictions and safety concerns
when using acetylene for heating and cutting
applications.
For example, acetylene cannot be used at
pressures higher than 15 PSIG; the gas becomes
unstable and can decompose explosively. Obviously,
this is a safety concern.
A common heating problem concerns flashbacks
and sustained backfires, or flames coming back
into the torch. This typically is caused by improper
Alternate Fuels_ND22.indd 31
OXYFUEL CUTTING
Cost, safety, efficiency, and performance are the four reasons
why shops should consider a move toward alternate fuels for
heating, cutting, and brazing. Images: The Harris Products
Group
pressure settings or flow restrictions. With acetylene,
there is a limit to the amount of gas that can be
withdrawn from a cylinder for safety reasons. Only
one seventh of the cylinder’s volume can be with-
drawn per hour. Most acetylene heating tips exceed
the withdrawal capacity of acetylene cylinders. To
heat with acetylene safely and properly, you have
to use the smallest heating tips and typically pigtail
multiple cylinders together to allow for the needed
withdrawal rates.
Alternate fuels, however, are more stable and do
not have acetylene’s strict withdrawal limits. They
can be used safely at higher pressures, and flow
rates and are not sensitive to shock. They also pro-
duce less carbon soot, which pollutes the work area
and can cause respiratory issues.
3. FAST, EFFICIENT HEATING
Alternate fuels have higher BTU per cubic foot—
2,300 to 2,600 depending on the gas—than acety-
lene’s 1,470 BTU/cu. ft. This allows for better heat-
ing efficiency. By using alternate fuels in the oxyfuel
heating process instead of acetylene, the targeted
heating temperature is reached faster.
4. HIGH-QUALITY PERFORMANCE
Alternate fuels also can outperform acetylene when
cutting. Some benefits and advantages of alternate
fuels include decreased preheat times; increased
travel speeds; clean, narrow kerfs; less top-edge

CASE STUDY: WHY TWO COMPANIES
STOPPED USING ACETYLENE
A heavy machinery company wanted to reduce
costs in its maintenance/repair facility. It reviewed
the potential savings of using alternate fuels, not
just for heating but also for cutting. It also consid-
ered the proper heating and cutting torches and
equipment that should be used with alternate fuels.
After making the switch to propylene, the
company’s overall gas use decreased; in addition,
cylinder costs went down since fewer cylinders
were needed. It also saved on production time,
spending less time heating the parts. This resulted
in drastic reductions in preheat time as well.
Six months later, the company made the switch
at its second maintenance location.

one operator, that led to a flashback that injured
his hand. The employees used acetylene with too
large of a tip. The flow required for the large tip
exceeded the withdrawal limits of the acetylene
cylinders. The insufficient flow caused the flame to
burn back into the tip. This melted the end of the
tip and caused the orifices to close, only com-
pounding the flow problem. Eventually, a sustained
backfire occurred all the way into the handle, burn-
ing the operator’s hand.
The company switched to an alternate fuel and
installed properly sized tips, hoses, and high-flow
flashback arresters for the regulators. It saved
money by using alternate fuels instead of acety-
lene, eliminating the safety issue as well.
rollover; less hardening of the cut face; and less slag.
All of these factors result in a high-quality cut with less
chipping, grinding, and cleanup time.
MAKING THE SWITCH
Once the decision is made to switch to alternate fuels,
it’s important to realize that simply changing the torch
tip will not allow the user to realize all the advantages
discussed. It is also recommended to convert to a
low-pressure injector torch to get the full benefits
of the gas. That is because alternate fuels mix at a
different oxyfuel ratio (around 4.5-1) as compared to
acetylene (1-1-1). If you only change the tip, you are
not changing how the gases mix. Injector mixers de-
signed for alternate fuels mix the oxygen and fuel gas
thoroughly and at the correct ratios for increased BTU
output and maximum flame performance. Check with
your gas equipment supplier to determine which type
of injector mixer you need.
In summary, the key to performance and efficiency
while heating, cutting, and brazing is having the
proper fuel gas and equipment. When switching to
an alternate fuel, it’s important to understand what
equipment is needed to obtain the full benefits of the
gas and achieve the cost savings, convenience, and
safety advantages that alternate fuels can bring.

 PLAYING WITH FIRE
The OG Millermatic 35
By Josh Welton
The history of tools is forever fascinating to me.
They are always created out of either necessity or
the desire to get a job done with less effort, less
time, more safely, and with higher quality than previ-
ous tools and methods. And because this pursuit
of making the “perfect tool” is ongoing, we often
push forward with the latest and greatest with little
thought from where they came.
These days, MIG welding machines are every-
where. Nearly every garage has a basic, small short-
arc or flux-core machine capable of handling tasks
from fixing whirligigs to building an ATV trailer. Not
only that, but more advanced MIG welding ma-
chines now are accessible for small shops wanting
34 The WELDER November/December 2022
Playing with Fire_ND22.indd 34
to increase output with processes like spray transfer
and pulse. It can be easy to forget that you weren’t
always able to roll up to a hardware store to grab a
ready-to-weld machine.
Earlier this year, Miller Electric invited brand part-
ners Michael Brandt, David Ankin, and I to Apple-
ton, Wis., to speak at its national sales conference.
It was a fun trip and the session with the sales staff
was a good time, but every time I visit Miller HQ,
the factory tour is like peanut butter on a spoon for
a factory rat like myself.
After visiting the commercial solutions division
where the Millermatics are built, we entered the
front lobby where shiny newer machines like the
Millermatic 255 and 252 and Multimatic 220 sit on
display. But a humble, patinated stack of two boxes
on a cart caught everyone’s attention.
Just over a half-century ago, a small team of
engineers at Miller Electric turned out a machine
that not only changed how body shops at the time
repaired sheet metal, but also shaped how we think
of small-shop MIG welders from then until now. At
the time, all MIG welding machines were a combo
of separate parts, with the wire feed, power source,
and gas flow all stand-alone aspects that needed
to be connected and synced by the user. That all
changed in the early ‘70s.
“In 1971, Miller introduced the first power source
with a built-in wire feeder, the Millermatic 35. Rated
at 150 amps, the Millermatic 35 was the ideal rig for
sheet metal shops, garages, auto body and fender
repair, maintenance welding, ornamental metal
work, and steel sculpture.”
11/3/22 11:32 AM

Now, we can still find these MM35s floating
around in garages and shops across the U.S., but
more often than not they’re considered outdated
relics, a nod to a game-changing moment in welding
technology history. So, what was unique about this
cobweb-covered setup in the lobby?
Lloyd Gaurke was the engineering lead for Miller
on the original Millermatic 35. He still lives in Apple-
ton and still welds. A week before our factory tour, he
called his Miller contacts to ask if they’d like to have
his personal Millermatic 35 on display. Still opera-
tional, Lloyd had been throwing sparks with it until
Miller gladly took possession of the machine for its
archives. Having a ‘71 MM35 that still runs, owned by
the dude who developed it, is rad enough. However,
this thing does not look like a production MM35.
Two boxes make up the machine: one small tool-
box type of container fastened to a larger, vented,
rectangular housing. Worn, red Dymo labels with
Playing with Fire_ND22.indd 35
PLAYING WITH FIRE
embossed white numbers and letters cling to the
lower box’s face, there to direct a lever where to go
depending on how thick the steel you’re welding is.
There’s also a large switch that I assume is of the on/
off variety. At the bottom are red and black positive/
negative lugs. Protruding out of the smaller top box
is a knob to adjust the wire speed and the lead for
the gun, which connects with a generic rubber hose
and metal hose clamps. A small-diameter gas line
fitting runs through the front of the box, around the
outside of the main lead, and into the gun. The wires
to the gun’s trigger trace a similar path. There’s a
third line that I’m not sure about, but it might hold
a wire to control the gas on/off switch. The gun has
two buttons to start the gas flow and trigger the wire
feed. A couple of random holes in the box betray
that this setup has experienced modification once or
twice.
Inside the top box are a spindle for a wire spool
that lays flat instead of vertical like we’re accustomed
to, an old-school wire feed, fuse, and gas solenoid.
So what makes this unusual machine so special?
It is one of three prototypes Lloyd Gaurke and his
team at Miller built during the development of the
world’s first MIG welder with a built-in wire feed! It is
the super rare preproduction version of what would
become the archetypical all-in-one MIG welding
machine. The MM35 would become an affordable,
easy-to-use, self-contained unit that revolutionized
how we would use MIG welding machines then and
now. It was a 150-amp machine that launched the
now ubiquitous Millermatic line. And here I was
taking it in—the history, the ingenuity, the face that
launched a million Millermatics. And also, a machine
that’s been put to practical use for over 50 years,
evidenced by the spatter-covered consumables. Just
another tool in another garage.

instructor at Big Bend Community College,

Explaining aluminum series numbers, Part I
In 1954, 75 chemical compositions were identi-
fied as part of the introduction of series numbers
to differentiate aluminum and aluminum alloys.
More than 600 new chemical compositions have
been added since then. Currently, there are 400
wrought aluminum and aluminum alloys and 200
aluminum alloys in the form of ingots and castings,
with more added every year. Aluminum is separat-
ed into wrought and cast aluminum categories and
differentiated using a temper designation system.
A quick overview:
• Cast aluminum is melted in a furnace.
• Wrought is worked with tools in its solid form.
• In the U.S., we usually refer to the temper
designation system because it tells everyone in-
volved how to achieve the desired outcome when
using a particular aluminum series.
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHICH ALUMINUM SERIES
TO USE?
While this system is very helpful to a welding
engineer, it can be a bit overwhelming for the typi-
cal welder, who is just trying to get their project
completed.
So how do you know which aluminum series to
use?
First, let’s break down the four-digit identifica-
tion system specific to wrought (cast has a three-
digit system and a decimal—more on that later).
The first digit (XXXX) is the principal element that
was added to the aluminum. The second digit
(XXXX) is a modification of the specific alloy, unless
36 The WELDER November/December 2022
Aluminum Etc_ND22.indd 36
it is 0. The third and fourth digits (XXXX) identify a
specific alloy and are considered arbitrary numbers.
Using 5356, a commonly used aluminum series,
as an example, the 5 indicates that magnesium is
the principal element added to the aluminum; the
second digit, 3, lets us know that manganese was
added to the magnesium; and the last two digits,
5 and 6, identify the 5000 series.
Alloy series 1XXX has 99% aluminum as its prin-
cipal alloying unit—this is essentially pure alumi-
num. In 2XXX, the principal alloying unit is copper;
in 3XXX, it’s manganese; in 4XXX, it’s silicon; in
5XXX, it’s magnesium; in 6XXX, it’s magnesium and
silicon; in 7XXX, it’s zinc; and in 8XXX, it’s “other
elements.”
In today’s welding world, some series are more
user-friendly than others. Hot cracking and stress
corrosion are huge factors as to why we can arc
weld some series while others are considered
unweldable.
As technology advances and more procedures
and processes are discovered and used, under-
standing aluminum alloys and applications will
become more important to the future of manufac-
turing.
I know from my time in industry that under-
standing the aluminum identification/designation
system eludes the average fabricator and welder.
We often rely on what has worked and hope it
continues to work!
Breaking down what all of those numbers mean,
the alloy temperatures between wrought and cast
aluminum, and what makes some aluminum alloys
nonheat-treatable will take more than one column.
I am ready to deep dive into this subject!
Please feel free to contact me about aluminum-

Preheat and interpass temperature defined,
Part II
I have seen many questions and discussions about preheat and interpass temperatures
lately. It appears there is confusion about how and when to measure both of these values.
Can you expand on these welding terms?
In Part I, we defined preheat and interpass
temperature, discussed appropriate measure-
ment locations, and briefly discussed the effects
of preheat and interpass temperatures. We will
discuss the reasons for preheat and interpass
control and discuss their effects in greater depth
in this installment.
THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF
PREHEAT IS TO SLOW THE
COOLING RATE OF THE WELD
ZONE AFTER THE ARC
HAS PASSED.
A common misconception in the welding in-
dustry is that the primary purpose of preheat is to
remove any water from the surface of the steel to
be welded. This is incorrect. The primary purpose
of preheat is to slow the cooling rate of the weld
zone after the arc has passed. Removing water
from the steel’s surface is a secondary benefit.
Slowing the cooling rate of the weld zone is
necessary when the steel being welded has a
composition that allows for martensite—which
is a hard, brittle microstructure—to form during
rapid cooling. Martensite formation needs to be
avoided as it is prone to cold cracking and sud-
den, brittle failure under loading.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products,
636-485-2253, www.esabna.com
A rule of thumb for plain carbon steels is car-
bon content of 0.30% or more requires preheat
and interpass control. Preheat/interpass tempera-
tures must be increased for steels with higher
carbon content and thicker sections. For low-alloy
steels, a carbon equivalent may be calculated to
determine the need for preheat (see AWS D1.1
Annex B).
While proper preheat and interpass control
provides benefits, excessive preheat and inter-
pass temperatures can cause problems. High
preheat/interpass temperatures—especially when
welds are made with high heat input—can lead
to excessive grain growth in the heat-affected
zone (HAZ), which can reduce impact toughness
significantly. Controlling the maximum interpass
temperature prevents excessive toughness deg-
radation in the HAZ.
Quench and tempered steels get their
mechanical properties through a process of
intentional rapid cooling (quenching) to create
martensite, followed by heating to a specified
temperature (tempering) to transform the mar-
tensite into a microstructure that is less brittle but
still strong. Welding quench and tempered steels
using excessively high preheat and interpass
temperatures can result in undesirable softening
of the HAZ. Steel manufacturers provide preheat/
interpass and heat input recommendations for
some quench and tempered steels. These recom-
mendations should be followed.

COBOT TAKES CARE OF SIMPLE WELDING TASKS

Acieta offers the FastArc CW cobot, designed to perform simple welding tasks
so that job shops and manufacturers can assign more challenging, complex
jobs to skilled welders.
The system includes a FANUC CRX-10iA/L 6-axis robot mounted on a
mobile platform to move quickly among production areas. It is compatible with
Fronius, Lincoln Electric, and Miller welding units. According to the company,
ROI with this standard, pre-engineered cobot is as little as six months, based
on two shifts.
Intuitive software and a touchscreen interface help simplify setup and opera-
tion, and one person can operate several of the cobots simultaneously. People
can work safely side-by-side loading and unloading parts while the cobot welds
so the system runs continually. If the low-speed arm bumps into a person or
object, the cobot stops immediately. No safety fencing is needed.

WELDING, FABRICATING ENVIRONMENTS
Metabo Corp. has introduced three models of its new
M-Brush angle grinder. The tools are made for use in
production welding and fabricating environments. Each
features a 1,900-W and 14.5-amp motor with a newly
optimized armature for increased power and faster
heat dissipation, says the company.
The 6-in. WEP 19-150 Quick M-Brush has a no-load
speed of 9,600 RPM and comes with a standard guard
and a clip-on type 1 cutting wheel guard. The 5-in.
WEPBA 19-125 Quick DS M-Brush has a no-load speed
of 11,000 RPM, while the 6-in. WEPBA 19-150 Quick
DS M-Brush no-load speed is 9,600 RPM. These two
tools include auto-balance technology.

UPDATED
Hypertherm Associates introduced Robotmaster
2023, a version update of its offline programming
software for robots. The software integrates seam-
lessly with the user’s chosen CAD/CAM system,
eliminating the need to import and sync data and
reducing programming time and errors.
The new version allows for the creation of librar-
ies to store and re-use robotic cell components.
Users can preview and select components within the
library and save modified or proprietary components
for later use.
Improvements have been added that support the
latest CAD formats and include enhancements to
the CAM modules, user interface, and user experi-
ence to facilitate the creation of trajectories and
further improve programming.

is senior company trainer for

A look ahead
Last issue, I revealed one of the most interesting and frequently asked
questions I receive. As for the second most frequently asked question I
receive: What do you see for the future of the welding industry?

This is a tough one. None of us has a crystal ball that lets us see into the future.
However, there are a few things on the horizon that may cause some major changes
in our industry.
The first is education. After many years of talking about it, I think we are starting
to make some headway in career and technical education becoming an acceptable
alternative to the four-year university track. With continued emphasis on this in the
secondary schools and a deeper understanding of the career potential by both coun-
selors and parents, we could see growth in the potential workforce.
In this same manner, the welding industry as
a whole should see a major increase in earning
NONE OF US HAS A CRYSTAL potential. The mindset of industry management
BALL THAT LETS US SEE INTO THE that anybody can be a welder, with wages only
slightly higher than general laborers, will need
FUTURE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE to change. The welder shortage is not always for
lack of qualified workers but more often about
A FEW THINGS ON THE HORIZON
an acceptable salary for those with qualifica-
THAT MAY CAUSE SOME MAJOR tions.
The second is equipment improvements.
CHANGES IN OUR INDUSTRY. The latest development and integration of
cobots for increased ease and consistency of
quality welded products will play a major role in industry over the next decade. Other
marketplace developments that should have an impact include items like hand-held
laser welders, battery-powered portable welding power sources, the continued
refinement of GMAW pulse waveforms and inverter power sources, and intuitive
welding systems that use feedback to create the most consistent weld bead possible.
I took over this column in January 2018 from Paul Cameron, attempting to give
some insight into the industry that has provided me with a great career for almost 50
years. I have enjoyed sharing my thoughts with the welding community over the past
several years. But beginning next issue, this great magazine will have a new author for
this column. I am leaving the column in the capable hands of a longtime friend and
educator. I look forward to reading his contribution in upcoming issues.
Thanks for following along the last five years!

(USA)

Aaron Brown has dominated as a pro race

car driver and builder for almost 30 years. He
73
opened The Garage Shop located in Catawba,
NC in 2010 to take his passion for speed and
turn it into a successful race car fabrication
business. His team of skilled mechanics and
33 experts know how to take on the impossible,
from race cars, muscle cars and off-roading
vehicles.

"If you want to be

successful, you'll
need Siegmund
Welding Tables."
85
3/4"
Along with their array of Siegmund
Welding Tables and Fixtures from Quantum
85 Machinery Group and decades of experience
working in the industry, his team is able
to build one-of-a-kind creations. This
partnership helped to create their successful
model for restoring and recreating iconic
race cars that reach record-breaking speeds
in style.

90
"We have been using the Siegmund Welding Tables from Quantum Machinery
and have added many more over years. We currently have a Plymouth Pro Mod,
a Streamliner for Bonneville and many other projects where these incredible and
practical welding tables have helped with the builds and repairs to race cars and
41
Land Speed Racing vehicles. We would take much longer and have no idea how our
creations would turn out if we didn't have these welding tables. If you want to be
successfull, you'll need Siegmund Welding Tables."
