A fabricator that needs to weld thick plate in as few passes as possible often will turn to submerged arc welding (SAW), a legacy process that has dominated heavy fabrication for decades. Variations ...

The industry calls this benchmark the “operator factor,” basically arc-on time divided by total time, then expressed as a percentage. “Five years ago, the operator factor for most shops was about 15%, ...

Dynamic Feed (Wire Oscillation) is just one example when it comes to the TIG process. In comparison to other arc welding processes, one disadvantage often attributed to conventional TIG is low ...

ÖkoHybrid project aims to weld thick steel parts faster, more efficiently. Hybrid laser arc welding process (click for info). To improve the laser-welding of thick steel components, Laser Center ...

Welding refers to a wide variety of processes in which metals are joined by fusion. The metal at the interface of two or more parts is melted or fused by application of intense, localised heat. A ...
