Welding thin sheet metal can be challenging because you need to obtain adequate fusion while preventing distortion and burnthrough. The key skill is to control the heat across the sheet metal to ...

Scientists have found applying a soft metal layer before welding hard metals can act as a sufficient buffer to address fatigue behaviour in welded metal. The research investigated the effects of ...

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 ...

Traditionally, welding has been limited to materials that share similar properties, so it's tough to make even aluminum and steel join forces. But now, scientists from Heriot-Watt University are ...

Researchers have identified a welding technique that can be used to join composite metal foam (CMF) components together without impairing the properties that make CMF desirable. CMFs hold promise for ...

AMADA views it as the last piece of the fabricating process that needs to be addressed to truly help metal fabricators ...

A thing of beauty is a joy forever, and beauty often takes the form of a perfectly laid welding bead—one that looks like a tall stack of dimes laid on its side. Okay, welding has some practical ...
