Welding Takes to the Cloud
Always On: Cloud-based production monitoring is radically reshaping how companies track weld performance and improve their profitability.
Modified “5-55” Vertical-Up Welding Technique Improves Bead Quality and Weld Shape
When welding with an E71T-8 electrode in structural steel fabrication and erection, here is a technique that combines the two competing priorities of being able to pause long enough at the toes to flatten out the weld and bring slag to the surface, and having a small enough weave angle in order to avoid “perforations” and inconsistent leg size.
1000 AC/DC Power Source for Submerged Arc Welding
The Aristo 1000 AC/DC power source from ESAB Welding and Cutting Products is ideal for automated welding in heavy-duty industrial environments such as welding wind tower structures, nuclear components, beams, bridge components, trailer beams, excavator components, and general fabrication applications.
Gouging System for Hundreds of Metal Fabrication Uses
The N7500 gouging system from Arcair can be utilized on almost all metals, including stainless steel, carbon, manganese, and chrome-moly steels. It is perfect for work with pressure vessels, wind towers, shipbuilding, railroads, bridge and girder manufacturing, and with heavy equipment used in mining industries.
Stick to Your Guns
Featuring multiple options for the cable, handle, trigger, neck and consumables, air-cooled Q-Guns and S-Guns and water-cooled W-Guns from Bernard Welding Equipment can be customized to nearly any MIG welding application to maximize productivity and reduce costs.
Imperial Reimagination
TIG welding equipment from Lincoln Electric is used to reconstruct this vintage auto gem into a modern hot rod reincarnation at the hands of noted designer Murray Pfaff and his skilled crew.
How to Avoid Cracking in Aluminum Alloys
Thom Burns of AlcoTec Wire shares some tricks of the trade on some deeper insights into potential problems associated with cracking and the various characteristics of many different aluminum alloys.
Knowledge Is Power: Weld Data Monitoring
From sequencing of parts to tracking parameters, Nick Peterson of Miller Electric explores how weld data monitoring provides manufacturers with actionable information to improve welding processes, ensure quality and productivity, and help streamline welding processes.
Meeting Energy Demands with a New Welding Process
With pipeline projects worldwide looking for ways to build longer pipelines, faster and more efficiently, some contractors are converting from the stick welding process to a self-shielded flux-cored wire process to weld on high-strength pipeline projects. Tim Hensley of Hobart Brothers examines the three main reasons for this transition.
Relevance of Drop-Weight Testing in the Determination of the Reference Nil-Ductility Temperature
The drop-weight test has become commonplace in the testing of ferritic steel and weld metal used in several types of components in nuclear reactor pressure vessels. But Regis Geisler of Lincoln Electric questions whether this method is now obsolete and whether there is another predictive tool that should be used to determine the RTNDT of weld deposits.
Wolf Robotics Names Regional Manager of Brazil Operations
Marcio Mininel, a Six Sigma Black Belt, now oversees the sale of custom engineered and modular welding solutions for all of Brazil.
PIVOTING MAGNETIC WELDING ANGLE
This welding tool from Industrial Magnetics gives welders the ability to quickly and easily set up and hold steel in angles ranging from 22 deg to 270 deg with an adjustable, locking handle and marked detents every 45 deg for accuracy.
