WELDING IN THE ENERGY SECTOR: CAN A PROCESS CHANGE HELP MEET INCREASING DEMANDS?
As the demands for energy continue to increase worldwide, fabricators serving this industry will be challenged to remain competitive by changing from the stick welding process to a gas-shielded flux-cored welding process. Tim Hensley of Hobart Brothers explains why they must carefully assess their quality needs and available labor or training ability before making this sort of switch.
USING 1 PERCENT NICKEL ELECTRODES FOR HIGHLY RESTRAINED WELDS, HIGHLY HARDENABLE STEELS
Circumstances exist in which the selection of low-hydrogen, mild steel electrodes such as ER70S-6 solid wire or E7018 stick electrode is not enough to prevent weld cracking. Regis Geisler of Lincoln Electric explores the reasons for this and offer possible alternatives to these filler materials.
ESAB Opening Another SC Plant to Manufacture Welding Wire
The new 250,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility in Union County will employ more than 100 employees to manufacture MIG and sub arc welding wire.
Weiler Supports Welding Training for Returning Veterans
Manufacturer donates wire brushes, grinding wheels, hand brushes and tools to a veterans training program run by the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry (UA).
Stoody® Celebrates 90 Years of Hardfacing Tradition
Hardfacing history began ninety years ago when two brothers in a small California shop were experimenting with a new weld overlay process at a time no one else had even heard of the concept.
SELF-SHIELDED FLUX-CORED GUN WITHSTANDS ABUSE, INCREASES COMFORT
Ideal for demanding and harsh construction, shipbuilding and heavy manufacturing applications, the Dura-Flux™ gun from Bernard can be configured with multiple cable lengths, necks, contact tip insulators and direct plugs to meet the needs of nearly any flux-cored application.
MIG GUN FOR NON-INDUSTRIAL WELDERS
Perfect for farm, garage, hobby/DIY, artistic metal working, small job shops, maintenance and repair applications, these durable Tweco Weldskill MIG guns from Thermadyne® Industries use a patent-pending design that provides light-duty welders with attractive value pricing.
PLASMA TORCHES ARE MORE HEAT RESISTANT, WITHSTAND GREATER IMPACT
Duramax™ retrofit plasma torches from Hypertherm can withstand impacts five times greater than the previous generation of torches and are more heat resistant so they can easily conquer the most demanding job in robotic and pipe-cutting applications.
ADVANCED PROCESS WIRE FEEDER FOR ALUMINUM FABRICATION
Ideal for aluminum fabrication, high-alloy construction, shipbuilding and pipeline welding, the compact Power Feed® 25M wire feeder from Lincoln Electric is push-pull capable for premium aluminum wire feeding with a push-pull gun.
COMPACT CONSTRUCTION WIRE FEEDERS
Ideal for ironworking, fabrication, shipyards, rental companies, pipeline and construction, the LN-25 Pipe and LN-25 Ironworker® wire feeders from Lincoln Electric are simple to operate, reliable and easy to service.
MATRIX METAL-CORED WIRE SIZE FOR WELDING THICKER MATERIALS
Ideal for high-volume robotic welding in heavy equipment manufacturing, Matrix™ metal-cored wire from Hobart Brothers uses a special formulation for uncompromised arc starting, wire feeding consistency, excellent seam tracking and touch sensing.
FILET WELD GRINDER IDEAL FOR FINISHING VARIOUS METALS
The easy to maneuver, light-weight KNSE 12-150 extended nose grinder from Metabo can finish and polish hard-to-access fillet welds typically found on handrails or inside welds on enclosed areas.
