What Is the Future of Nuclear Energy

Welding Joint Efficiency Factors for Pressure Vessels

By Engineering Department | Arc Machines, Inc. Fusion Welding

Pressure vessel welding encompasses many applications and industries. At the lower end, any system that operates at 15 psi is considered a pressure vessel. However, systems like boilers and storage containers used in pharmaceutical and food processing, as well as in facilities like power plants, including nuclear generation, are critical…

Good fusion zone in welding results

The Fusion Zone in Welding

By Engineering Department | Arc Machines, Inc. Fusion Welding

Welders are very familiar with the fusion zone in welding. When the fusion zone looks like stacked dimes, they call their friends over to take a look. When it looks like a squashed or otherwise ailing caterpillar, they slink away to find an angle grinder. The fusion zone in welding…

Understanding the Fusion Welding Process

By Engineering Department | Arc Machines, Inc. Fusion Welding, Orbital Welding No Comments

Most people agree that it is better to build than to destroy, better to unite than to divide. Unfortunately, it’s often easier to tear a structure apart than to join its components together. Thankfully, dedicated welders can step in and assemble varied metal components to create stronger, more useful structures….

Fusion welder calibration is vital for meeting high-spec weld requirements

Fusion Welder Calibration for High-Spec Autogenous Welding

By Engineering Department | Arc Machines, Inc. Fusion Welding, Maintenance, Orbital Welding No Comments

Most welding companies tend to delay arc welding machine calibration until every other effort to fix a problem has failed. In manual welding, failure to perform timely machine calibration often forces businesses to purchase another machine in order to complete work by the deadline. This is the reason that so…

Welding Thin Stainless Steel Tube: Why GTAW Is the Method to Choose

By The Guardians | Arc Machines, Inc. Fusion Welding, Orbital Welding, Stainless Steel No Comments

Welding thin metals is the art of making many tack welds, then carefully welding longer beads to avoid heat distortion. Tube welding, in particular, requires a steady hand to maneuver the arc evenly around the entire circumference of the tube. Stainless steel welding requires careful prep work and a precise…
