Gas 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.

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 […]
Read MorePlasma arc welding (PAW) is very similar to gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). If you look at the schematic shown in Figure 1 you can see that the arc in PAW is created between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and is constricted by passing through an orifice. This provides a more columnar arc with a higher […]

Read MoreEWI has capability in high productivity strip cladding. If you desire an increase in productivity, strip cladding may be a solution for you. There are two variations of strip cladding, submerged arc and electroslag. Electroslag strip cladding (ESC) can achieve deposition rates of over 75-pounds-per-hour when using a 60-mm wide strip. Compare this to submerged […]
