ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- April is National Welding Month and, therefore, a perfect time to highlight the work performed by welders throughout Anniston Army Depot's industrial area.
There are eight forms of welding primarily used at ANAD. Every product on the installation is affected by welders - from small components to small arms weapons up to the largest combat vehicles.
Flux cored arc welding, gas metal arc welding and gas tungsten arc welding are the forms which most often come to mind. But the depot, with its wide variety of products, also uses computer-aided welding forms, such as laser sintering, resistance seam welding and electron beam welding.
And, naturally, we can't forget the depot's most delicate forms of welding - brazing and soldering, which are seen most often in the optical and electronics areas.
