Welding

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, mostly metals, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion. It is a widely used technique in the fabrication of equipment such as tubes or heat exchangers. Below you can find the latest newsitems that involve the topic of welding.

A Welcome from the Vice-Chairman of Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference & Expo 2024

At the Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference and Expo 2024, people from across the spectrum of heat exchanger equipment can attend unique and relevant technical presentations, network with industry peers alongside discovering new equipment and techniques to make their jobs easier.

Power Source Added to Cobot Welding System For Simplified Automation

The collaborative robotic welding system features AccuGuide positioning control with a joystick for fine-tuning the torch position during programming, as well as an IntelliSet weld settings assistant that recommends settings based on material, process, and joint type.

Torch Made for Welding Thin, Conductive Sheet Metal

The torch can weld stainless steel to stainless steel or conductive materials such as copper to nickel or stainless steel, making it suitable for applications such as tack welding for medical devices and battery tab welding.

Compact Weld Camera Monitors TIG, Plasma Processes

With a 17-mm diameter, compact design, and seamless integration options, the camera offers clear monitoring of TIG tips, melt pools, weld beads, seams, parent material, and wire feeding.

3-Axis Servo-Driven Mill Combines Professional-Grade Capabilities

Equipped with a 4HP, 10K RPM BT30 spindle (with a maximum of 6HP), it delivers torque for cutting through various materials and offers enough spindle speed to take advantage of modern carbide tooling. Additionally, the mill is thru-spindle coolant (TSC) ready.

Module Delivers Multiple Options for Pipe Welding

The welding module can be used for materials from low-alloy to high-strength plain, stainless, and duplex steels, as well as for aluminum, manganese, copper, brass, and titanium.

SMAW Machine Also Delivers TIG Features

The operator can weld up to 5/32-in. electrodes (6010/7018) with the unit or choose a dedicated 6010 mode for cellulosic stick electrodes.

Self-Programming Robot Sets Its Own Weld Path

The user places the welding robot in the start position, and the robot uses the sensor to determine the weld path automatically.

Array Technologies and Lock Joint Tube Collaborate on New Steel Tube Mill in Texas

The collaboration between the two companies will create new manufacturing jobs and use automation technology for optimal efficiency in production.

Smart Furnace at Tenaris Mill in Mexico Optimizes Scrap Utilization, Reduces CO2

The smart furnace model, developed by Tenaris’s R&D department, is an EAF web-based model that predicts metallic yield, energy and oxygen demand, electrode consumption, and anticipated CO2 emissions.
