HOW DOES WELDING AFFECT THE HAZ OF THE WELD'
Based upon the particular aluminum alloy type and its temper, the tensile strength of the HAZ can be significantly different from the tensile strength of the unaffected area of the welded component. However, the reduction in tensile strength of the HAZ under controlled conditions, particularly with the non-heat treatable alloys, can be somewhat predictable.
PULSED TIG DOUBLES PRODUCTION WITHOUT MORE STAFF OR EQUIPMENT
At a time when prices have left many businesses hamstrung, replacing conventional TIG welding with new inverter technology enabled employees to reduce production costs and remain competitive.
STICK ELECTRODE SIMPLIFIES INVENTORY, WELDING PROCESSES
A newly design stick electrode reduced this diversified fabricator?s stocking level, simplified their weld procedures, and saves them time in production.
FABRICATOR CUTS PROCESS TIMES 86 PERCENT, INCREASES BUSINESS 15 PERCENT
New plasma cutting technology backs this fabricator?s boast of ?any job you can throw our way . . . whether it?s welding, forming, cutting or punching? all the way to the bottom line.
MULTIPLE-WIRE WELDING CREATES HIGH PRODUCTIVITY, HIGH QUALITY
Innovative welding systems, including a continuous seam tacking system and ID and OD pipe welding stations that use multiple wire welding techniques, combine to produce faster travel speeds and improve the mechanical properties of the linepipe being manufactured by Berg Steel.
RESISTANCE: THE UNKNOWN WELDING VARIABLE
When unintended resistance is introduced into the welding circuit, it can lead to equipment failure, poor weld quality, porosity, the inability to weld to specification and the frustration of trying to diagnose an intermittent problem. Here?s how to prevent it from happening.
Safety in Gas Welding & Cutting – Using Caution with Gases Can Save Lives
Gas welding, cutting and heating apparatus are extremely useful tools for a variety of work and hobby applications. But Paul Mercuri of ESAB explains why any procedure that uses oxygen or other flammable gases in the presence of flame carries significant risks. He warns that every worker, from beginner to seasoned professional, needs to be constantly mindful of safety precautions.
TROUBLESHOOTING MIG BEFORE AND AFTER YOU WELD
MIG welding equipment that starts acting differently can be confusing. Here are some answers on how to solve them the most common equipment and technique issues that crop up.
DISTORTION IN ALUMINUM WELDMENTS
When replacing distorted steel with aluminum on a complex fabricated structure, consider the amount of distortion to be expected with aluminum and how that can be prevented.
A USER'S GUIDE TO CREATING HIGH QUALITY STICK WELDS
Follow these tips to create a high quality stick weld right from the start.
FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS MAY BENEFIT FROM FILLER METAL CONVERSION
Many companies are shifting to self-shielded flux-cored welding to increase productivity for construction jobs that are completed outdoors and that have seismic requirements set forth by AWS Code D1.1. This conversion is a trend worth following.
NEW ROBOTIC WELDING PROCESS CONTROL TOOLS RAISE OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS
Integrated vision and production monitoring are two key tools that extract and convert data into information to make decisions on cost savings, quality improvement and higher productivity.
