Traditionally, laser welding has been confined to automated systems within enclosures that have doors and tinted windows to ...

Friction welding uses frictional heat to forge parts together without melting them. Engineers can use friction welding to join dissimilar materials and tailor a design’s material properties.

The last two decades have seen substantial improvements in ultrasonic plastic-welding machines. Bench-top models feature proportional-valve controls, linear encoders, line-voltage regulation, internal ...

Ultrasonics can effectively join together thin, fragile conductive materials, such as copper, aluminum, nickel, brass, titanium, silver, and even gold, that are essential to advanced battery ...

The outdoor equipment manufacturers are increasingly turning towards the application of advanced welding equipment that is ...

As chief engineer for all resistance and forge welding activities at the Edison Welding Institute, Jerry Gould has focused on resistance spot welding and coated-sheet steels. He has published more ...

The application of high-frequen-cy switch-mode power-supply (SMPS) technology in welding equipment has yielded many of the same benefits associated with SMPSs in other, nonindustrial designs. By ...

There isn't one welding process suitable for all applications, so you need to consider these factors: the type and thickness of the metal you're welding, how big the job is, whether you're welding ...
