On the Electric Arc Welding adopted in the Hull Construction of H. M. S. “Yaeyama”

Abstract

In recent days the Electric Arc Welding are getting adopted very widely in the hull construction of ships. Owing to the heat generation due to the Electric Arc, we must take care so seriously about the deformation of plates, when we apply the Electric Arc Welding to the hull coustruction.Mr. T. Fukuda, Member, read his valuable paper at the last spring meeting of this Society, in the title of “How to minimize the Deformation due to the Electric Arc Welding, ” which introduced us useful methods in minimizing the deformation of the plates.In this paper, auther describes how widely Electric Arc Welding are used and what deform minimising methods are adopted practically in the hull construction of the H. M. S. “Yaeyama, ” a mine layer.
