The first machine was built from recycled scrap steel and coil windings in his basement. [3] In 1935, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. was incorporated. Al Mulder, Miller's sole engineer, invented the world's first high frequency-stabilized AC industrial welder, making AC welding practical for use in factories and construction. [citation needed]
A modern underwater welding. Khrenov dedicated his entire career to the development of welding techniques and equipment. He invented methods of electric welding and cutting metals under water, designed power sources for arc and spot welding, ceramic fluxes, electrode coatings, methods of cold pressure welding, diffusion welding, plasma cutting and many others.

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus states in The Histories of the 5th century BC that Glaucus of Chios "was the man who single-handedly invented iron welding". [6] Forge welding was used in the construction of the Iron pillar of Delhi, erected in Delhi, India about 310 AD and weighing 5.4 metric tons. [7]
Charles L. Coffin. Charles L. Coffin (1844-1926) [1] of Detroit was awarded U.S. patent 428,459 for an arc welding process using a metal electrode.This was the first time that metal melted from the electrode carried across the arc to deposit filler metal in the joint to make a weld. [2]
Nikolay Nikolayevich Benardos (Russian: Никола́й Никола́евич Бенардо́с) (1842–1905) was an inventor from the Russian Empire who was of Greek descent who in 1881 introduced carbon arc welding, which was the first practical arc welding method.
The company was founded in 1895 by John C. Lincoln with an investment of $200 to make electric motors he had designed. [3]The company is headquartered in Euclid, Ohio, and has 44 manufacturing locations, including operations and joint ventures in 19 countries and an international network of distributors and sales offices covering more than 160 countries.
Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding [1] or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld.
In oxy-fuel welding, a welding torch is used to weld metals. Welding metal results when two pieces are heated to a temperature that produces a shared pool of molten metal. The molten pool is generally supplied with additional metal called filler. Filler material selection depends upon the metals to be welded.
