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 MoreFriction Stir Welding (FSW) is an advanced welding process that uses a third body (often called the “tool” or “pin”) to generate frictional heat between two parts to create a solid-state bond. Originally developed for thin sheet aluminum, the process has now been adapted for a variety of materials from soft metals (aluminum, copper, magnesium, lead) to […]
