Titanium Welding Technology

In order to establish titanium welding technology TIG arc weldability and MIG arc weldability were surveyed. For TIG arc weldability influence of arc length and thickness to proper region of welding condition became obvious. For MIG arc weldability a new method to defend wandering phenomenon was developed.

Comparison of Welding Processes and Control Technology Options for Clad Welding Machines

Overlay welding of nickel alloys for corrosive and sour service is commercially accomplished with most welding processes ranging from shielded metal arc (stick) to laser. The valve industry has generally standardized on hot wire gas tungsten arc (GTA-HW), pulsed gas metal arc (GMA-P) and submerged arc (SAW) welding. This document will focus on these three but a little history will help explain ...

The Mechanism of Undercut Formation and High Speed Welding Technology

Laser transmission welding of transparent plastics parts in micro technology

Most welding processes for plastics do not meet the special demands of micro technology. Laser transmission welding, however, features distinctive advantages like low mechanical and thermal load of the joining parts. Hence it is particularly suitable for the welding of micro plastics parts. Certain optical properties of the components to be welded are needed though. While one of the welding par...
