UJeremy “Jay” Lockett waseKansas City, eMissouri uya kuba ngumntu wokuqala ukukuxelela ukuba yonke into ayenzileyo kumsebenzi wakhe onxulumene nokuwelda yayingaqhelekanga.
Lo mfana uneminyaka engama-29 ubudala akazange ayifunde ithiyori yokuwelda kunye nesigama ngononophelo nangendlela efanelekileyo, emva koko wayisebenzisa kuluhlu olukhuselekileyo lwamagumbi okufundela kunye neelebhu zokuwelda.Endaweni yoko, waziphosa kwi-gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) okanye kwi-argon arc welding.weld.Zange ajonge ngasemva.
Namhlanje, umnini we-fab ungene kwihlabathi lobugcisa besinyithi ngokufaka umzobo wakhe wokuqala wobugcisa boluntu, evula umnyango wehlabathi elitsha.
“Ndenze zonke izinto ezinzima kuqala.Ndaqala nge-TIG, eyindlela yobugcisa.Ichaneke kakhulu.Kufuneka ube nezandla ezizinzileyo kunye nolungelelwaniso olululo lwezandla zamehlo,” ucacise watsho uLockett.
Ukusukela ngoko, uye wachanabeka kwi-gas metal arc welding (GMAW), eqale yabonakala ilula kakhulu kune-TIG, de waqala ukuzama iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuwelda kunye neeparamitha.Emva koko kwafika i-arc yentsimbi ekhuselweyo (i-SMAW), eyamnceda ukuba aqalise ishishini lakhe lokuwelda.U-Lockett ufumene isatifikethi se-4G, esiza luncedo kwiindawo zokwakha kunye neminye imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo.
“Ndiyanyamezela kwaye ndiqhubeka ndiphucuka kwaye ndinobuchule obungakumbi.Iindaba endinokuzenza ziqala ukusasazeka, kwaye abantu baqala ukundifumana ukuba ndibasebenzele.Ndifikelele kwinqanaba lokuba ndithathe isigqibo sokuziqalela ishishini lam.”
U-Lockett wavula i-Jay Fabwerks LLC e-Kansas City ngo-2015, apho igxininise kwi-aluminium ye-TIG ye-welding, ingakumbi kwizicelo zemoto ezifana ne-intercoolers, iikhithi ze-turbine kunye nezixhobo ezikhethekileyo zokukhupha.Kwakhona uyaziqhayisa ngokukwazi ukulungelelanisa iiprojekthi ezikhethekileyo kunye nezixhobo (ezifana ne-titanium).
“Ngelo xesha ndandisebenza kwinkampani eyayisenzela iishawara neebhafu ezintle kakhulu zezinja, ngoko sasisebenzisa iintsimbi ezininzi ezingenastainless nebrashi.Ndabona intlaninge yezinto ezilahliweyo kulo matshini, yaye ndazalelwa ukusebenzisa ezi zinto zilahliweyo ukwenza iintyatyambo zesinyithi.Iingcamango.
Emva koko wasebenzisa i-TIG ukuwelda yonke irozi.Wasebenzisa i-silicon bronze ngaphandle kwerozi kwaye wayipolisha ukuze ibe yigolide.
Ndandisemathandweni ngelo xesha, ngoko ndamenzela irozi yentsimbi.Ubudlelwane abuzange buhlale, kodwa xa ndithumela ifoto yale ntyatyambo kuFacebook, abantu abaninzi basondela kum,” utshilo uLockett.
Waqala ukwenza iirozi zetsimbi ngokuphindaphindiweyo, waza wafumanisa indlela yokwenza iirozi ezininzi kunye nokongeza umbala.Namhlanje, usebenzisa intsimbi ethambileyo, insimbi engenasici kunye ne-titanium ukwenza iirozi.
U-Lockett wayesoloko ekhangela imiceli mngeni, ngoko ke iintyatyambo ezincinci zentsimbi zavusa umdla wakhe wokwakha iintyatyambo ezinkulu.“Ndifuna ukwakha into eza kubonwa yintombi yam nabantwana bayo bangomso, ndisazi ukuba yenziwe nguTata okanye nguTamkhulu.Ndifuna into abanokuyibona baze badibanise nosapho lwethu.”
ULockett wakha irozi ngokupheleleyo ngentsimbi ethambileyo, kwaye isiseko ziziqwenga ezibini ze-1/8 intshi.Intsimbi epholileyo inqunywe ukuya kwii-5 ububanzi ububanzi.Ihlabathi.Emva koko wafumana intsimbi eyisicaba eyi-intshi ezili-12 ububanzi kunye ne-1/4 intshi ubukhulu waza wayiqengqeleka ibe yi-5 ubude.Isangqa kwisiseko somfanekiso oqingqiweyo.U-Lockett usebenzisa i-MIG ukuwelda isiseko apho i-rose stem isityibilika.Welded i-intshi eyi¼.I-engile yentsimbi yenza unxantathu ukuxhasa intonga.
U-Lockett emva koko i-TIG yadibanisa yonke irozi.Wasebenzisa i-silicon bronze ngaphandle kwerozi kwaye wayipolisha ukuze ibe yigolide.
Emva kokuba ndiyitywine indebe, ndayidibanisa yonke ndaza ndazalisa [isiseko] ngekonkile.Ukuba izibalo zam zichanekile, inobunzima obuphakathi kwe-6,800 kunye ne-7,600 yeponti.Nje ukuba ikhonkrithi yomelele.Ndinenkangeleko Ijongeka ngathi yihoki enkulu.”
Emva kokugqiba isiseko, waqala ukwakha kunye nokudibanisa irozi ngokwayo.Wasebenzisa uSch.Isiqu senziwe nge-40 carbon steel pipe, ene-bevel angle, kunye ne-TIG welding ingcambu.Emva koko wongeza i-7018 SMAW eshushu ye-weld bead, wayilungisa, emva koko wasebenzisa i-TIG ukuwelda ubhedu lwesilicon kuzo zonke iindawo ezidibeneyo ukwenza isakhiwo sibe sengqiqweni kodwa sihle.
“Amagqabi erozi aziimitha ezi-4 ubude.Ishiti eliziimitha ezi-4, ubukhulu be-1/8 intshi liqengqeleka kwirola enkulu ukufumana igophe elifanayo njengerozi encinci.Iphepha ngalinye linobunzima obumalunga neeponti ezili-100,” ucacise watsho uLockett.
Imveliso egqityiweyo, ebizwa ngokuba nguSilica Rose, ngoku iyinxalenye yomzila oqingqiweyo kumbindi weNgqungquthela kaLee, emazantsi eSixeko saseKansas.Oku akuyi kuba ngumfanekiso oqingqiweyo wokugqibela wentsimbi kaLockett-la mava aphefumlele iimbono ezintsha kwiiprojekthi zexesha elizayo.
“Ndijonge phambili, ndifuna ukuzama ukudibanisa itekhnoloji kwimifanekiso eqingqiweyo ukuze ibe luncedo ukongezelela ekubeni inkangeleko entle.Ndifuna ukuzama ukwenza into ngeedokhi zokutshaja ezingenazingcingo okanye ii-Wi-Fi hotspots ezinokwandisa umqondiso kubantu abafumana imivuzo ephantsi .Okanye, inokuba lula njengomfanekiso oqingqiweyo onokusetyenziswa njengesikhululo sokutshaja ngaphandle kwamacingo kwizixhobo zesikhululo seenqwelomoya.
