Many crucial industries including oil and gas, biopharma, and food and beverage, rely on the elaborate networks of pipe or tube systems to ensure a continuous supply of material while enduring high temperature and pressure conditions. The demand for high standards from the pipe and tube system means their fabrication…
Most industries today are subjected to high standards for productivity and quality. And they are addressing this challenge by embracing robots and their automated advantages. The growing interest can be seen in the latest numbers, which valued the sales of robots at $2.38 billion in 2022. The welding industry is…
Electrical currents are a fundamental part of arc welding, and polarity is an inescapable part of electricity. Polarity is simply the aspect of having two diametrically opposed poles, and in electrical terms, polarity is the direction of current flow in the circuit between these opposed poles. In direct current (DC),…
In welding, the power supply serves the function of regulating current and voltage for different arc welding applications. It is connected to the weld head, where the electric output transfers to the workpiece to melt and fuse pieces together. The consistent electric output is responsible for delivering a weld result…
Fusion welding is any welding technique that heats two pieces of material to their melting point and joins them together while molten. This term can be a subject of confusion as engineers may use it as a blanket term to refer to all types of arc welding (which is technically…
Heat is a complicated subject in welding. If the heat is too low, you will face problems achieving the required penetration. On the other hand, with high heat, you will have issues like cracking, spattering, and undercutting. Undercut in welding (or welding undercut) is a commonly observed defect—especially when welding…
Steel tubing is used everywhere—from refineries to aerospace to pharmaceuticals. It safely and reliably transports process fluids from one point to another. When welding steel tubing, welders have to make sure that the mechanical properties of the metal are not compromised so it can fulfill the reason for use in…
