What is the recipe for a successful weld? The right welding technique, correct parameters, and compatible tools all work to produce the best result during the welding process. However, there is one crucial consideration to make before the welding process even begins: joint preparation. When welding large or small pipes,…
Heat plays a unique role in the production life cycle of a metal. It is a common factor when forming the weld or when altering the properties of the metal, such as— thermal expansion, hardness, metallurgical structure, electrical resistance, etc. However, the successful application of heat in metal comes from…
All aircraft, small and large, require a flow system to transport the fluid to different systems that require it. This is done by fluid lines, which are used in transporting combustion fuel, oil, hydraulic fluids, oxygen, coolant, and other fluids critical to the proper functioning of the aircraft. This makes…
Alternating current (AC) and Direct current (DC) – the types of electric current– are common knowledge in studying an electric circuit. The direction of flow of the electric charges differentiates these currents. This direction of current flow also has an impact on how the arc is produced during welding. Therefore,…
The importance of preparation in welding cannot be emphasized enough. In all industries that involve welding pipes, tubes, or other structures, a strong weld is the indicator of quality and reliability. Joint machining followed by surface cleaning is the initial step in preparation for the high attribute weld result. Ensuring…
The advanced capabilities of robots have brought a fresh wave of productivity for manufacturers across the globe. The versatility and flexibility also extend to the welding industry, where robots have adapted to welding pipes and tubes of a wide range of thicknesses and diameters. Through optimal programming and compatible equipment,…
Agencies like Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have identified some jobs as being hazardous and laid out potential solutions to perform them safely. Welding is one such job. It deals with intense heat, sparks, electrical inputs, and hazardous fumes dangerous for welders to carry out without proper precautions. When…
