On Saturday, March 5th, EWI and OSU’s Welding Engineering program hosted an 8-hour Boys Scout Welding Merit Badge clinic. The participants received hands-on instruction in gas metal arc welding and were coached and evaluated on their welding skill using the Lincoln Electric RealWeld System. They also learned about thermal cutting and non-arc welding processes, first aid, […]
Read MoreEWI will again host its five-day Fundamentals of Welding Engineering course at its Columbus, OH, headquarters, November 10-14, 2014. Taught by top-notch EWI engineers, this class provides engineers and technicians with an overview of the various aspects of welding technology including welding processes, welding metallurgy and weldability, welding design and testing (including mechanical testing and NDT), and qualifications and procedure review. […]
Read MoreArc-welding robots have been around for decades and are used in many industries, including heavy manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and ship building. Historically, the knowledge and skill required to implement arc-welding robots has been substantial and may have discouraged first-time robot users. In recent years, however, robotic welding equipment manufacturers and integrators have advanced the level […]
Read MoreEWI hosted a welding merit badge clinic on Saturday 13 April for Boy Scouts in Columbus and the surrounding areas. The welding merit badge is one of the newest in scouting. It is the 128th current merit badge and was released on Feb. 24, 2012. The event was held at the EWI facility in Columbus […]
Read MoreMore 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 […]
Read MoreGas 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 […]
Read MoreWell folks, Movember is upon us. Some of you call this no-shave November and use it as an excuse to grow a beard or a goatee or something like that. It is officially called Movember and growing a sweet moustache is the proper way to raise awareness and money for men’s health issues. Prostate cancer […]
Read MoreSubmerged 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 […]
