Blogs about Orbital Welding techniques and best practices.
Food-grade, medical, or pharmaceutical manufacturing demands sanitary metalworking practices, as contamination can result from even a minor dent. For these applications, the choice of material, welding type, and finishing procedure all hold great importance. Stainless steel is a common choice in these industries because of its smooth finish and corrosion-resistant…
Welding is a process that requires critical handling to achieve excellent results. The term “ID purging” is often heard in the welding industry. Purging aims to remove the residual oxygen from inside the weld zone to help reduce oxidation and enhance corrosion resistance. In the case of pipe and tube…
Automated system implementations in the welding industry have grown as more manufacturers utilize Industry 5.0 practices. The continued evolution of welding technology depends on the manufacturer’s ability to monitor, collect, and analyze weld data to identify welding process efficiency, effectiveness, and improvement opportunities. With a remote welding pendant, welding process…
While industrial manufacturing processes have changed over the centuries, the core idea of industry remains the same: to manufacture products that make life easier. Throughout the history of manufacturing, radical ideas have periodically emerged to change the course of industry. For instance, in modern manufacturing, the first industrial revolution (Industry…
What do you think of when you hear the term “welding”? You may think of different weld types and weld preparation—equipment like a welding machine. Welding machines offer enhanced control, precision, and efficiency to ensure reliable, high-quality welds. However, these machines also require care and maintenance. A regular welding machine…
Semiconductor manufacturing has become more complex, with today’s chips requiring nanometer-level precision. Additionally, the range of exotic materials used in the manufacturing process, alongwith the specialized skills and required technology to create a semiconductor chip have also expanded. As global demand increases, manufacturers can struggle to adhere to quality standards….
The history of TIG welding in aerospace begins with Russell Meredith of Northrop Aircraft Corporation developing the process in the 1940s to facilitate aluminum and magnesium alloy welding. Since then, TIG welding has expanded to almost every manufacturing industry. The welding process has evolved to incorporate advanced technologies that make…
Natural gas liquids production has seen immense growth in the past few decades. As the largest global producer, the U.S. has more than doubled its natural gas liquids production since 2008. Yet, a common misconception persists about what makes it different from LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). Natural gas liquids are…
Nuclear power, a prominent energy source in the United States, contributes nearly 20% of total U.S. electricity generation. With 94 nuclear reactors operating across 28 states, the industry has increased its focus on the safety of nuclear components and structures to ensure public safety. One component that requires special attention…
Liquified natural gas (LNG) is simply methane gas that is cryogenically cooled to transform into a liquid state to decrease its volume and make long-distance gas transport easier. LNG serves a diverse range of applications—from residential or commercial heating to electricity generation. It is also a low-carbon option when compared…
