welding processes

Microjoining encompasses techniques including welding, brazing, soldering, and adhesive bonding. Typically, the technology involves materials with thicknesses less than 0.5 mm. Micro-welding techniques can be applied to join both similar and dissimilar materials combinations. Here are some key applications of microjoining today: Power electronics for electric vehicles (EVs). The integration of small-scale components, such as...

Precise control of the wire electrode or “tool-point” position is critical in gas metal arc welding and arc directed energy deposition. Newly developed elliptical wire technology (EWT) offers improvements in tool-point control. Recently, EWI completed a study of EWT, comparing many of its features against standard round-wire electrode feedstock. The promising results are discussed in...
