Arc welding is probably the most easily and readily available welding process on the face of the earth.
Just about anyone can get access to an arc welder. Arc welding is also called stick welding, and the technical name for this welding process is manual metal arc welding or MMAW for short.
But don’t go around town [...]

Are you looking for a professional company that can ensure high quality and specialty welding according to your specific requirements? If your answer is yes, then you just simply cannot hand over the responsibility to any company without verifying the kind of quality output they provide. You have to ensure that the welders are skilled, [...]

The process of welding is not very easy, rather there are several risks associated with the process. If a novice without appropriate education and training carries out the work, it could be very dangerous. Safety measures are thus, very essential to carry on the process in a safe manner. The right safety gear is crucial [...]

Adequate work of supervising in the field of welding can result in serious improvement of work efficiency through less rework. The productivity soars high as the supervisors directly communicate with the welders. The welding supervisors are trained professionals who have complete knowledge about the significant variables of welding works and they impose adequate discipline in [...]

Study says that most of these products are being purchased from the suppliers or companies that do not provide any guarantee of the quality. Another fact that is revealed from these studies is that most of these products are available at cheap prices in the market and they are being imported from China. Buying these [...]

Have you ever taken a moment to consider the time and effort, as well as money, your company spends on qualifying welding procedures? If you have, then you may realise, as many companies have, that there’s a better approach to this process—hire a company that spcialises in pre-qualified welding procedures to do the work for [...]

A welding shop specializing in aerospace systems and parts adds nondestructive testing to its in-house capabilities to keep pace with inspection requirements and speed up part turnaround.
Aircraft manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus are continually increasing the requirements for nondestructive testing (NDT), even for non-flight-critical systems and parts. While the testing ensures the structural integrity of [...]

Suitable for welding various materials and plate thicknesses, submerged arc welding is considered an economical, efficient process. Yet, in the search for fine tuning this process, obvious solutions have been ignored in favor of exotic and expensive welding heads and power sources. Applying sound expertise and creative insight can lead to less costly solutions.

An understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of each form of nondestructive examination can help you choose the best method for your application
By Charles Hayes
The philosophy that often guides the fabrication of welded assemblies and structures is “to assure weld quality.” However, the term “weld quality” is relative. The application determines what is good or [...]

Codes, specifications, and contract documents provide fabrication requirements that must be maintained when applied to welded construction. However, some provisions are perceived as “requirements” when they are not applicable, or when alternatives are permitted. Under these conditions, it is prudent to carefully evaluate such “requirements” and, when appropriate, consider alternatives that may provide fabrications of [...]
