Narrow Gap Arc Welding.

Keyhole Double-sided Arc Welding Process for Deep Narrow Penetration

In regular arc welding, the arc heat is transferred from the surface of the workpiece to melt it. In keyhole plasma arc welding, the workpiece is melted by the plasma jet which heats the wall of the keyhole along the thickness direction. Penetration is achieved with reduced heat input. However, the plasma jet only gains its energy in the arc before reaching the keyhole. In the keyhole where no ...

Gas tungsten arc welding

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A const...

Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding

Arc Welding Automation

It is very well known that the use of robotics in the industry increases productivity and quality in many aspects. It is also well known that some adjustments have to be made to grant payback for the investment and to reach the expected results. Today, the robotization is known as an alternate technique for production, increasing qualitative and quantitative competence of its industries. One po...

Arc Welding Robot Automation Systems

Robot automation systems are rapidly taking the place of the human work force. One of the benefits is that this change provides the human work force with the time to spend on more creative tasks. The highest population of robots is in spot welding, spray painting, material handling, and arc welding. Spot welding and spray painting applications are mostly in the automotive industry. However, arc...
