[edit] German attack on New York harbor during WWI

As far as I can tell no such event ever happened. I don't know enough on the subject of arc welding to feel comfortable editing this page so if someone could take a look at it that would be great.

That comes from a welding textbook that says, "German ships interned in New York Harbor at the outbreak of the war had been scuttled by their crews so that the vessels could not be used in the Allied war effort." The wording is rather poor, since "attack" implies an offensive from the outside, but technically the Germans did damage to the US through this. I'll see about fixing the wording. —Spangineer[es] (háblame) 05:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hidden references

Why are the inline citations in this article hidden? Wouldn't it be better if they were in a form like the recently featured Gas tungsten arc welding or Gas metal arc welding? QmunkE 09:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

It probably would be better if they were visible, yes; I just haven't gotten around to converting them. --Spangineeres (háblame) 12:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Safety Issues

Hexavalent chromium is a new issue in welding safety and protocal. OSHA has begun to set standards and limit exposure to hexavalent chromium. It's a large issue at my work place presently.

OSHA Reference

"New" is a bit inappropriate here, it was well-known when I was working in a research team in 1980. I vaguely remember that measuring the hexavalent chromiumn content was difficult for some reason. rudy 22:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I merely meant that it is now receiving more press. I'm fully aware that it's not new. I should've worded it differently. Of course I wrongly implied that exposure is due only to welding. It can come from cutting and grinding as well.(ROBZZZ 18:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC))
