Fusion welders, precision TIG and plasma welders, adjustable adhesive dispensing valves, and acrylic assembly adhesives, are just some of the topics covered in this Fastening and Joining Reference ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new technology developed by a Cavendish Nuclear-led consortium enables real time detection of defects in fusion welding processes as they occur. The AWESIM project test rig at NAMRC (Image: ...

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 ...

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 ...
