Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

In the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process, an electric arc is struck between a refractory electrode made of tungsten and the work piece, while a shroud of inert gas, usually argon, shields the ...

In the manufacture of heat exchanger components for aircraft, it was found that using the pulsed TIG method to weld the inlet and return manifolds was giving excessive porosity. Consequently an ...

TIG welding isn't rocket science, it's actually closer to metallurgy. We get it. Most hobbyists are at the limit of their comfort zone with MIG welding, and mostly in non-critical areas at that. Our ...

Times change. It wasn't that long ago that if you owned a set of oxy-acetylene gas bottles for welding and cutting you would be considered to have a pretty well-equipped home shop. Maybe you ...

California machine shop quadrupled output by switching from manual TIG to robotic laser welding, eliminating skilled labor ...

We’ve been aware of the shortage of skilled welders due to retirements for some time. In recent years the shortage has been exacerbated by furloughing or the early retirement of workers during the ...

Remember the 80’s movie, Flashdance? The female lead, Jennifer Beals, was a welder by day in a Pittsburgh steel mill and for many people that was their first glimpse of what a welder did for a living.
