New research will optimize the welding, additive and manufacturing process. Arc welding and additive manufacturing are hugely important for creating large metal components relatively inexpensively and ...

In the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process, an electric arc is struck between a refractory electrode made of tungsten and the work piece, while a shroud of inert gas, usually argon, shields the ...

Several techniques are available for joining thermoplastic composites, including resistance welding and ultrasonic welding. While resistance welding uses Joule heating inside an electrically ...

The fabrication of titanium demands attention to cleanliness. It is not uncommon for shops that handle several metals to isolate an area to be used especially for titanium. The area set aside for ...

A thing of beauty is a joy forever, and beauty often takes the form of a perfectly laid welding bead—one that looks like a tall stack of dimes laid on its side. Okay, welding has some practical ...
