Understanding and Lowering Weld Costs

Nick Peterson of Miller Electric explains why shops stand to reap significant benefits by better understanding and controlling whether step B in the process is truly preparation for step C, or simply compensation for the inefficiency of step A.

Checking the Pulse of Welding Inconel

Whether TIG welding in the aerospace industry or MIG welding overlay in a plant environment, successfully welding Inconel can depend on your pulsing capabilities and other new features made possible with modern equipment. Dave Almy and Mark Kadlec of Miller Electric explain why.

Welding Robots Justified

The traditional ROI focused on robots as a direct replacement for people. But many fabricators now investing in automation with welding robots eventually hire more people too. What is going on?

Preventing Weld Failures

Here are four ways that welding operators can protect against weld failures and help maintain the productivity and profitability of a shop’s welding operation.

Gouging with Plasma

The switch to plasma wasn’t exactly planned, but more welders are now realizing the benefits of gouging with plasma. 

Laser Welding Puts Automotive Industry “On A Diet”

The level of innovation behind weight-reduction efforts is exemplified in passenger car transmissions that are manufactured by the millions in volume and, as such, require optimized designs that provide an economic advantage to the manufacturer. With an already great design, is it possible to make them even lighter? This automated system from EMAG shows how.

Weld Crater Shrinkage Cavities

Tom Myers of Lincoln Electric explains how a hole or divot in the crater of the weld sometimes appears when using flux-cored gas-shielded wire and how to prevent it from occurring.
