Part diver, part tradesman, and all grit — they build and repair the world’s toughest structures where oxygen runs thin and precision is everything. It’s not just welding. It’s engineering under pressure. ⚡ | Fifo Jobs | Facebook

Jordan Moreno welds a plate test underwater in the 3f and 4f position, using the SMAW welding process. This test is needed and done for every underwater welding job. #smaw #smawwelding #padeye #underwaterwelding | WeldTube

Underwater Welding... How does Underwater Welding Work: Wet Welding Underwater dry welding may theoretically use any welding type that surface welders use. Underwater wet welding primarily uses shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). The welder works completely surrounded by water – including their electrode. Under the Microscope: How Electrons Affect the Process How does underwater welding work up close? First, you should understand what’s happening with the electrode at the molecular level. The hea
