Discover how Virginia Tech researchers use AI to revolutionize metal manufacturing, detecting and correcting flaws in ...

Humans have been welding at least since the advent of the first horseshoes and wagon wheels. Back then, the village blacksmith didn't have screw threads or Cherry rivets, electricity or gas. For those ...

David Dean, welding instructor at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology, described the art form of welding as that similar to a baseball player. In the beginning, you play all the positions on ...

• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...

BURRY POINT, U.K. — Inert gas welding requires the removal of oxygen from the welding zone before, during, and after welding. This is known as weld purging as is crucial during the welding of ...

Description: This tape is best used for the backing of welds, where purging is required but neither easily achieved nor economically viable. It is a glass-fibre weld-backing system that supports and ...

The typical images of welding—a robotic arm burping sparks or a masked Jesse James hovering over a glowing metal puddle—don’t apply to friction stir welding (FSW). The metal-joining technique was ...
