What Applications Does EB Welding Have in Industry? What Industries Use Electron Beam Welding? EBW uses electrons to form a finely focused beam with enough power density to instantly melt metals. The weld is performed in a vacuum, without filler, in a single pass, and with minimal metallurgical disturbance. EBW remelts parent material in […]

Controlling the Quality of Electron Beam Welding Electron beam welding is a critical skill in many industries. Aerospace, oil and gas, and medical equipment are among them. EB welding was invented in the 1950s, during a period when fusion was popular. However, in terms of real-world applications, electron beams have stood the test of time.

Is It Possible to Weld in Space? The Shocking Answer! Welding in space is feasible because to a technique known as cold welding. Heat is required to fuse two metals together on Earth. This requires heating the metals till the melting point is reached. In space, however, heat is not required to fuse two metals.

How to Weld Bronze Welding bronze is a comparatively easier process than welding brass because tin does not have the tendency to separate from copper in the molten state during welding; whereas zinc does so in brass. Bronzes are best welded with 100% argon shielding gas. Aluminum bronzes (with Al content from 8 to 13.5%)

Metal fabricators, don’t let your shop become a time capsule As a factory/shop rat, I love the industrial scene. Hammers banging, grinders revving, welders buzzing, wrenches click-clacking—I’m here for it. I was 18 when I first set foot into a Steelcase plant, and I can still remember the awe of experiencing the giant presses firing

Audio and video are two important tools that can be used to help detect welding defects. By recording the sound of the welding process, it is possible to identify any unusual noises that may indicate a problem. Similarly, by recording the weld pool with a high-speed camera, it is possible to identify any irregularities in
