Talk:Forge welding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Temperature

What temperature is required for forge welding mild steel? I talked with a blacksmith this weekend who implied he needed about 2000 °F to do it (which only one of his forges could supply). —Ben FrantzDale 14:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] first method?

It was first applied to iron, yet it's the first method used to join metal? so for about 2000 years previous to the discovery of iron, when only copper, tin, lead, and a couple others were known, nobody ever joined 2 pieces of metal? thats clearly wrong, one of those statements has got to go.70.70.136.240 09:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Famous applications?

I'm trying to rework the last paragraph of the main section. It isn't cited, and seems awkward. Any suggestions? I'm tempted to move it to this page, and let people work on it. --Talroth 17:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
