Ice Czar Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 AHW @ speciality welds (w video)AHW is an arc welding process that uses an arc between two tungsten electrodes in a shielding gas atmosphere of hydrogen. Filler may or may not be used. A jet of hydrogen is disassociated as it passes through an electric arc. H2 > H + H = 422kJ. The temperature of the arc is in excess of 3700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Ink Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The only problem with hydrogen is when it makes a pocket somewhere . Alot of divers die that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
