Welding apprenticeship registrations are on the upswing, but more needs to be done to support tomorrow's workforce. Let's dig into the numbers. The overall number of people in apprenticeships in the US and Canada is tracking upwards, and the number of people in registered welding apprenticeships is recovering from lows seen during the pandemic. In...

Optically transparent medical testing devices, such as microfluidic chips and diagnostic components, require precise and delicate welding techniques to maintain their functionality and integrity. The need for clarity and the intolerance of contaminates make most welding approaches unsuitable.  Hot plate welding is too imprecise due to the need to move the parts during the joining...

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...
