From bevel angles to joint fit-up, proper weld preparation is the foundation of strong, code-compliant joints. Understanding geometry, inspection requirements, and procedure specs can make the ...

Welding is often a cost-effective way to fabricate. It does not require overlapping materials, so it eliminates excess weight caused by other fastening means. Fasteners do not have to be bought and ...

The fatigue behaviour of welded joints remains a critical area of study due to its profound implications for the longevity and safety of infrastructure and industrial components. This research area ...

Welding is just as important to any good race program as driving or turning wrenches. It doesn't matter what class you race, all cars require fabrication and the occasional repair. And if your welding ...

To grind or not to grind? What a question! It all depends on what you’re really trying to show, and in the case of welded joints, I often want to prove the integrity of the weld. My ground-back piece ...

The welding of dissimilar metal joints in new and retrofit power plant boiler tubing has long proved challenging. New plants designed to operate at higher temperatures and pressures require advanced ...

Modern joining technologies support complex geometries, miniaturization and integrated functionalities in plastic assemblies. Advanced process control and validation tools enable higher confidence, ...

This pole suffered a failure in the welded seam at an overlapping slip splice. A tubular steel transmission pole generally consists of a series of welded assemblies. The pole shafts and arms are ...

There are plenty of benefits to be had from ultrasonic welding for medical devices. But there are important things to consider. Ken Fine, Proven Process Medical Devices Ultrasonic welding is well ...
