I've been working on this article periodically for more than a month, and it's definitely come a long way. I've got a few more ideas on things to cover, such as joint design and weldability of different materials (steel, iron, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), but I thought it would be helpful to get some other suggestions. Any ideas? --Spangineer ∞ 01:18, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Your article looks good. The only ideas that spring to mind are welding under unusual conditions (underwater, in a vacuum, outer space, &c.) and perhaps the future of welding with regard to the expanding use of composite materials and nanotechnology manufacturing techniques. — RJH 16:56, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the good ideas. I added a short section on welding under unusual conditions, and created an article on underwater welding to complement it. I'll add some more to that section as I get more info on it and find more sources on open-air welding. Also, did you know of any welding applications that are done in a vacuum that is not outer space? I lumped the two together, since I couldn't think of anything (except what is normally done for electron beam welding). I'll also look into the future of welding thing – that one might be a bit more difficult, but I'll see what my university's library has. --Spangineer ∞ 19:55, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
- No, I'm not aware of any other non-space vacuum welding applications. Perhaps inert gas welding then, for materials that are prone to ignite in oxygen? (If you haven't already covered that.) Thanks again. — RJH 17:35, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
