Orbital Welding: Don’t Be Afraid, It Can Be Your Friend

EWI is capable of performing orbital welding, a specialized welding process whereby the arc is rotated mechanically around a static workpiece such as a pipe in a continuous process. The technique was developed over 50 years ago, and with today’s modern technology is a sound, robust, and easy-to-use method of joining cylindrical components. These components can be […]

TANDEMONIUM!

Some combos just don’t work: texting and roller-skating, toaster pastries and hot sauce, or a $300 bottle of Chianti and orange soda. In these cases, the whole is clearly less than the sum of its parts. But, sometimes we find a combination that works so well, it seems as if it was meant to be. […]

Welding Automation for Heavy Fabrication

More and more, robotic welding is becoming a viable option for use in heavy fabrication. The sophistication and capacity of modern robot systems is suitable for large structures which require multi-pass welds. Processes used for heavy fabrication such as preheating, gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), tandem gas metal arc welding […]

Arc Welding Aluminum at High Speed

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) are both regularly used for welding aluminum. GTAW is a slow process when compared to GMAW and GMAW is typically used when extremely high weld quality (with respect to porosity) is not required. GMAW works well for welding aluminum in structural, automotive, or thick […]

Increasing Productivity with Submerged Arc Welding

Submerged arc welding (SAW) is a high deposition rate process when compared to gas metal arc welding (GMAW) or gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).  Certain applications such as large flat panels, girth welds in pipe, or spiral pipe mills can benefit from techniques used to increase the deposition rate, and consequently, the productivity of the […]
