Advanced Metal Joining with Laser Welding
Laser welding is becoming more common to a wider audience that is discovering how its unique properties can create stronger and more aesthetic weld seams than conventional GMAW processes, and how it can tackle weld geometries that were once impractical or downright impossible.
Wire Feeding Issues? Consider These Common Causes First
Though welding operators often assume that the filler metal is the source of a wire feeding problem, it’s important to consider other common causes before taking any corrective steps. Don’t assume that cleaning lube off the wire or adding more lube is the answer. While there are many potential causes to poor wire feeding, many of them have simple solutions.

Real Time Monitoring of High Power Laser Microwelding of Medical Devices
Critical for medical device microwelding that requires a focused spot of light with a well-defined, narrow, and reproducible bandwidth and intensity profile, the Ophir Focal Spot Analyzer from MKS Instruments is so accurate that the distance to the camera array is NIST-traceable.
Pipeline Payoffs
Increasing consumption of oil and gas resources is opening a pipeline of new opportunities for oilfield services companies and their parts suppliers that manufacture, repair and maintain the equipment used in setting up oil and gas wells, oil extraction and transport.

Ed Mohrbach is their new vice president of finance and operations.
New Ownership of Guild International
Three long-term employees, Joe Thomas, Bill Maruschak and Mark Wagner, have purchased the company.
Weld Purging of Pipes for Oil and Gas Operations
QuickPurge Systems from COB Industries remove the need to fill complete pipes with an inert gas, reduce the space to be purged, and cut purging time dramatically for huge savings in time and gas costs.
How to Regain up to 95 Percent of Lost Productivity for Tip Changes
TOUGH LOCK HDP Contact Tips from Tregaskiss last six times to ten times longer than copper and chrome zirconium tips that often need to be replaced twice as frequently during pulsed MIG welding due to its high heat input.
