AWS Shipbuilding & Aluminum Conference Intercontinental Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana September 17-18, 2019 Three EWI associates will be presenting as part of the Shipbuilding Conference Program: Jacob Hay, Applications Engineer, Hybrid Laser Arc Welding – Application and Implementation, Tuesday 9/17 at 9:00 am Paul Blomquist, Business Development Director of Maritime Technology, Tele-Welding: Remote Operation of […]
Read MoreVirtually all ship designs utilize copper-nickel alloys for applications such as fire mains and other seawater/freshwater piping, tanks, and structures such as rope guards and fairings. The manual gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process that is typically used to weld copper-nickel pipe joints has relatively low productivity due to slow travel speeds and low deposition […]

Read MoreFor some time, EWI DeepTIG has been available in specialized flux formulas for carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys. Now, a more user-friendly version of the product, EWI DeepTIG wire, is also available and can be used like any other welding filler metal. The advantage is that penetration can be increased 250%-300% compared to conventional welds made with solid wire.
Read MoreCopper-nickel alloys are often used in shipbuilding for applications such as tanks, seawater and freshwater piping, and numerous other structures. Copper-nickel pipe joints are typically welded with manual gas tungsten arc welding; however, inherently slow travel speeds and low deposition rates impede productivity. The implementation of pulsed gas metal arc welding (GMAW-P) could yield significant […]

Read MoreFABTECH is always an information-packed meeting for me. This year, advances in computer technology and information sharing capability was a strong theme with equipment suppliers. New types and improvements in welding consumables were also noteworthy. Welder training devices, including a couple that EWI helped to develop, were drawing crowds in several booths. EWI engineers had […]
Read MoreCross-industry lightweighting initiatives have significantly increased the use of aluminum and magnesium in fabrication; however, welding of these alloys presents a unique set of challenges. Arc welding processes offer significant advantages ranging from relatively low equipment costs and high productivity levels, with a range of process variations available to address productivity and quality requirements. A […]
