Slavianoff, a Russian, presented the same idea of transferring metal across an arc, but to cast metal in a mold. This was the first record of the metal melted from the electrode carried across the arc to deposit filler metal in the joint to make a weld. patent for an arc welding process using a metal electrode. Coffin of Detroit received the first U.S. Carbon arc welding became popular during the late 1890s and early 1900s. Benardos restricted his efforts to carbon arc welding, although he was able to weld iron as well as lead. This was the beginning of carbon arc welding. The patents show an early electrode holder. He, with a fellow Russian, Stanislaus Olszewski, secured a British patent in 1885 and an American patent in 1887. Benardos, working in the French laboratory, received a patent for welding. 1880Īuguste De Meritens, working in the Cabot Laboratory in France, used the heat of an arc for joining lead plates for storage batteries in the year 1881. Arc welding with the carbon arc and metal arc was developed and resistance welding became a practical joining process. Gas welding and cutting developed during the late 1800s. In the mid-19th century, the electric generator was invented and arc lighting became popular. Sir Humphry Davy produced an arc between two carbon electrodes using a battery in 1800. Historians credit Edmund Davy of England with the discovery of acetylene in 1836. It was not until the 19th century that welding as we know it today was invented.
Many tools were found that were made in approximately 1000 B.C.ĭuring the Middle Ages, the art of blacksmithing was developed and many items of iron were produced that were welded by hammering. During the Iron Age the Egyptians and people in the eastern Mediterranean area learned to weld pieces of iron together. It is estimated that these boxes were made more than 2,000 years ago. Small gold circular boxes were made by pressure welding lap joints together. The earliest examples of welding come from the Bronze Age. Welding can trace its historic development back to ancient times.
