THIS is the fourth in the series of articles on welding safety. The central theme of these articles has been to emphasize that welding, if mastered and performed safely, is a rewarding profession, and ...

We wanted to follow up our welding series with some more helpful fabrication tips that any mini-trucker could use. Since this happens to be the first-ever Chicks Special in the history of any ...

Plasma arc cutting (PAC) is a thermal cutting technique widely used in manufacturing applications such as shipbuilding, aerospace, fabrication, nuclear plants decommissioning, construction industry, ...

For many welding-related jobs, metal cutting is required before a welding arc is started. Two popular metal-cutting processes to choose from are plasma arc and oxy-fuel. Both systems have advantages ...

An arc flash occurs due to a phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase short circuit. The extreme heat, light, and pressure blasts associated with these events make it necessary to take precautions when ...

For consumable parts a typical shielded plasma torch has an electrode, a nozzle, and a shield. Many other torches are unshielded with an exposed nozzle and an electrode. The two consumable parts in ...
