How Mag Particle Testing Protects Your Critical Assets?

Our world relies on a vast network of critical assets. From the towering wind turbines that harvest clean energy to the intricate pipelines that transport vital resources, these structures form the backbone of modern civilization. However, hidden beneath the surface of these assets can lurk a silent threat: cracks. These imperfections, often invisible to the naked eye, can pose a significant risk to safety, functionality, and operational efficiency. To read more visit

I forgot to post this yesterday 'cause I got home so late from uni 😭

Yesterday was a pretty tiring, but worth it, day of studying since I missed an entire week of class and had to study all of the content from last week's welding technology class + study from a texbook on science and engineering of materials.

Content studied yesterday:

> Stress-Strain of metals under tension, compression, sheer and torsion tests ;

> Stress-Strain graph (elastic and plastic strain, recognization of ductile and brittle materials, points of elastic limit, yielding, ultimate strength and rupture) ;

> General types of welding ;

> Concepts of welding technology .

My welding technology class went great and I was relieved when I found myself following the explanations with ease and being able to participate because of successful studying and absorption of the last class' content through photos of the board that my classmate sent me. I was really scared I would fall behind but I feel pretty confident and intrigued by the subject and engineering in general... I think like I'm finally falling in love with it!

What is the difference between welding, brazing, and soldering?

A summary of the main points of difference between welding, brazing, and soldering are:

1. Temperature Range:

Welding: Above 1,200°C.

Brazing: From 450°C to 1,100°C.

Soldering: Below 450°C.

2. Strength of Joints:

Welding: Highest.

Brazing: Moderate.

Soldering: Lowest.

3. Applications:

Welding: Heavy-duty construction, automotive, aerospace.

Brazing: HVAC, electrical, automotive.

Soldering: Electronics, plumbing, jewelry.

4. Process complexity:

Welding: Requires high skill and complex equipment.

Brazing: Moderate skill and equipment.

Soldering: Low skill and simple equipment.

Hello I really want to learn how to work with metal so I can eventually design and modify wheelchairs, especially powerchairs.

How do you start learning to weld?

Where do you find places with metal-cutting tablesaws that let you work there? How are people able to do this work without being a homeowner with a workshop of their own??

Any advice appreciated! 💖💖

hello drivers in my neighborhood! nobody else wants to listen to five seconds of your random-ass music dopplering past. either roll the windows up or turn the speakers down.

Every piece of old technology we no longer use lives next to or in dad’s shed.

“Yer I’ll take them to the recycling place when I can.”

Lies your a recreational engineer who doesn’t talk to people you have emotional attachment to them.

Brother when you sold your old red holden ute you where emotional you can’t hide that.

You bring up your first car like it’s a friend that passed away.

Looking back when I first started to learn about welding and engineering, it's pretty funny-- I started off originally arc welding, since that's the first type of welding I was taught.

...And I was really bad at it.

I'm a fairly jumpy person, so every time the arc would spark, I would jump, and that would either extinguish the arc or stick it to the metal.

Or I would tap it too lightly and it wouldn't spark

I'm glad I learned arc welding first, now, but I have to say MIG will forever be much easier!

🔆 You found a Circuit Maker's Gauntlet! 🎵🎶

As you slip the gauntlet on you feel electricity crackle from your wrist to fingertips. It feels well suited to your hand and radiates a power that makes your arm hairs stand on end. What will you do first: solder a broken wire? Test input voltage of an integrated circuit? Shock your friends with a few mostly harmless electrons?

The possibilities are endless.

I try not to post personal stuff but

The rush of dopamine I get when the Engineer compliments my welds. Y'all don't understand. Engineers and Welders are like fire and ice. Cold, calculated white-collar math against the caffeinated rage of brutal perfection. The nerds and the jocks. God's holy choirs and Lucifer's infernal generals. The fallen angels gave metalwork to our foremothers and the Welders carry on the flaming mark of the Nephilim. Solomon with his demon seals cut angles into stone that modern tech struggles to recreate and the ring of that great sorcerer is mirrored in AutoCAD. The Engineer with his holy books, and the Welder, despised by God as we toil in the charnal pits of hell.

So, with his AutoCAD servants and cold, overpaid eye, the Engineer will leave his concubines and descend from his temple to observe the very demons he has enslaved and say

"Hell yeah. That's perfect."

And then I ride the high for days

Consider Machines Over Customers

don’t know how useful this is, but for people who hate the customer interaction part of their jobs, like, if you think that is the worst part of your job, consider looking for a job that does not involve you interacting with customers. the hard part is that all the “basic job that you don’t need a college education to get” kind of jobs that I could think of to look for on job sites were like call center work and waitress and hotel staff and front desk work and retail and, you know, customer service positions. so I was searching job sites with those key words and did not know about a lot of other options. namely...machines. yes, that’s right. turns out there are so many machines out there and they all need people to operate them. there’s also warehouse stocking jobs but i haven’t tried one of those so I can’t endorse or diss them. BUT...I am working a machine operating job right now and I actually love machines. they are great. they also have yet to yell at me about an expired coupon. i mean, sometimes they do complain about thread breakage or refuse to read a positioning mark that is RIGHT THERE, but still...I love machines. I also do not have to see customers at all. like, I know the orders go to customers eventually, but I do not need to help them place the orders or receive the calls when their package does not arrive on time. I just need to fill the order and I’m done. whatever happens next is out of my hands. actually...the delivery workers might be another “customers are not my problem” option. they pick up orders from us and I think they just need to whip those at the front doors of customers, but they don’t actually need to talk to them.

just...the main point is that I spent a long time stuck thinking that all the “non-career” jobs I could get required customer interaction. unless you were, like, a cook in the back or stocking jobs, and i can’t cook or lift that much. so my advice is...just try getting creative with the keywords you plug into job sites. I hit on my current job by pure chance, no idea why it showed up when I was typing in stuff like “front desk” and “call center representative.” If you want machine stuff, try typing in “manufacturing” or “assembly” or “operator” or “production.” I am mostly just throwing this out there into the void in case it helps anyone. I spent way too long doing customer service and hating how draining it was and how much I would dread going to work. but now I am shocked that I actually do not mind going to work. it is tiring, but only physically, and otherwise actually enjoyable. so...consider machines over customers.
