I believe that the process section is a copyright infringement. The text of this article is a direct transcript of the tv show Modern Marvels epsiode entitled Welding, which airs on the History Channel.

I felt that the section on processing was quite helpful and should be reformatted and referenced to avoid plagerism issues, then reinstated. Routy (talk) 10:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Potential Copyright Violation

A large portion of the text of this article was added in one edit (last version before the edit was 04:28 April 5 2008). Some of the added text is the same as on this website: http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/explosive-welding/explosive-welding.html which was published in 2000, so it seems to be the original source. I have contacted the author of that page to request GFDL licensing of his material, as it may have been placed there by him. The page has also been listed on http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_problems Some of the other test that the user added on that date may have also been infringing, but I was unable to locate any sources. I not also the previous entry indicating another incident. Many edits have since been made, preventing me from reverting to the April 5 2008 version.

Thank you for your good notes on this situation. I have restored the last verifiably clean prior to the introduction of the copyright infringement and incorporated alterations that were not related to material added by that IP contributor, with attribution acknowledged in edit summary. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:07, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear Predetonation image?

The image labeled "Simplified model of how explosion welding creates energy" is originally labeled as "nuclear predetonation" in commons, and appears to show an unrelated process related to nuclear weapons design. Notably, the image implies (to me, at least) that energy is generated in the objects before they actually come into contact, which is true in the nuclear context, but not (i believe) in the explosion welding context. It also seems to imply that the metals recoil away from each other after coming into contact, which would rather defeat the purpose of welding. 67.171.152.38 (talk) 08:41, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
