Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

Welding refers to a wide variety of processes in which metals are joined by fusion. The metal at the interface of two or more parts is melted or fused by application of intense, localised heat. A ...

The good news? Robots are no longer reserved for the giant OEMs with endless floor space and million-dollar budgets. Compact, ...

California machine shop quadrupled output by switching from manual TIG to robotic laser welding, eliminating skilled labor ...

New research will optimize the welding, additive and manufacturing process. Arc welding and additive manufacturing are hugely important for creating large metal components relatively inexpensively and ...

Everyone’s talking about Industry 4.0 nowadays. It’s a hot topic for society, politics and the economy. But what about digitisation in metal-working companies? What does it mean for joining technology ...

The fabrication of titanium demands attention to cleanliness. It is not uncommon for shops that handle several metals to isolate an area to be used especially for titanium. The area set aside for ...

“Introduction to Welding Processes” provides a comprehensive overview of the most commonly used welding processes, including oxyfuel welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, ...

Device makers are taking increased interest in product designs and assembly that support closed-loop recycling. A Branson plastic welding process can safely and nondestructively “unweld” plastics used ...

Welding is often a hot and noisy process. It generally involves some fancy chemistry and proper knowledge to achieve good results. Whether you’re talking about arc, TIG, or MIG, these statements all ...
