Student in the class describes welding thick destroyer rudder steel where preheat made the work environment an oven.
Student: A story about the practical side of preheating: we were welding on a destroyer's rudder steel. When you have to preheat thick steel, that heat goes somewhere — it spreads. So if a welder has to get into a tight spot to weld, they're basically welding in an oven. You can burn yourself just touching the surface you're working on. The practical aspects of preheat can get pretty tricky.
