The fabrication of titanium demands attention to cleanliness. It is not uncommon for shops that handle several metals to isolate an area to be used especially for titanium. The area set aside for ...

Innovative welding techniques can produce consistently better-quality joints. Special alloys, appropriate pre- and post-weld heat treatment, and proper weld procedures can all help prevent ...

The choice of welding method for your homebuilt aircraft’s steel tube fuselage represents one of the most critical decisions ...

Due to its exceptional corrosion resistance and high strength, DSS is the best metal to use in harsh settings such as reactors, petroleum tankers, deep-sea pipelines to transport petroleum material, ...

Aluminum MIG welding—also known as gas metal arc welding (GMAW)—is gaining traction across industries, and for good reason. As companies look for ways to reduce weight, improve corrosion resistance, ...

The approval grants an exemption from post-weld heat treatment based on the results of an engineering critical assessment.

Welding Method 7 (WM7), which was supported by an extensive set of research experiments led by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), was approved in March 2020 by the National Board Inspection ...

Thermoplastic composites welding has the potential to significantly improve the sustainability of commercial aircraft production. Tier 1 airframer Collins Aerospace (Charlotte, N.C., U.S.) claims on ...

Rajeev Ranjan in his thesis investigates the influence of low-frequency vibration-assisted welding on the mechanical properties and microstructure of shielded metal arc welded mild steel plates.

Unlike composites made with a thermoset matrix, thermoplastic composites (TPCs) require neither complex chemical reactions nor lengthy curing processes. Thermoplastic prepregs require no refrigeration ...
