Remote service options are vital for orbital welding diagnostics and TIG weld head repair

What Is the Narrow Gap Welding Process and Why Is It Used?

By Engineering Department | Arc Machines, Inc. Narrow Groove Welding, Orbital Welding, Pipe Welding No Comments

Metals with a thickness of 3 millimeters (⅛ inch) or more are generally too thick to weld with a single pass. Instead, it is customary to bevel both pieces to be joined with an angle between 60 and 75 degrees to reduce the material thickness at the root of the…
