Solid Wire vs. Metal Core Wire, Revisited
In terms of welding costs, the choice between solid wire and metal core wire is not a simple one. Here’s why it all boils down to perspective.
Victor Technologies Realigns Brand Portfolio
Co-branding strategy intends to reinforce Victor as a leader the advancement of cutting and gas control solutions.
Engine Driven Welder/Generators Reduce Fuel Use
Trailblazer systems from Miller Electric provide a smaller and lighter footprint for ease of mobility and more space on work trucks used in general construction, structural steel, maintenance and repair, mobile fabrication, and farm and ranch applications.
Portable All-In-One Welding System for Light Fabrication
Setting weld parameters in MIG, Stick and TIG processes is now easier than ever with the exclusive Auto-Set™ Elite feature on the Multimatic 200, which weighs just 29 lb and connects to common 120- and 230-volt receptacles with a MVP™ multi-voltage plug.
Bernard and Tregaskiss Partner for New Branding Initiative
Several product lines have migrated between the two brands, as Bernard now offers only semi-automatic MIG guns and the Tregaskiss brand is focused exclusively on robotic MIG guns and peripherals.
MIG Gun Liner Reduces Downtime
The QUICK LOAD spring-loaded system from Tregaskiss helps reduce wire-feeding problems and also decreases burnbacks, along with premature contact tip failure and wear associated with misalignment between the liner and contact tip.
Choosing a Butt Weld Joint Preparation
Which joint configurations provide the best economy? Here is an examination of the “pro-versus-con” arguments that must be weighed out in order to make an informed decision when choosing between U-groove and V-groove joint preparations and small bevel versus large bevel configurations.
Lean ARC Welding Lowers Cost Per Weld
The IRB 1520ID from ABB Robotics is an attractively priced, high performance arc welding robot with fully integrated dressing that combines 24/7 production durability with 50 percent lower maintenance costs to deliver the lowest cost per weld in its class.
ESAB Partners with KUKA Robotics
To support the growth of the robotic welding business in the U.S., this collaborative relationship offers automated robotic arc welding solutions for applications ranging from heavy and light duty welding, to sub-arc, to hybrid laser-arc welding.
Top Ten Things to Teach Novice Welders
Training must go beyond creating quality welds. This primer shows why instilling good habits early on is important to ensure that these individuals are prepared to contribute positively to the overall welding operation and gain the confidence they need to become increasingly proficient.
Pipe Welding Solutions
Bug-O Systems answers many medium-to-large diameter pipe welding challenges with The Piper Plus, a self contained, digitally controlled, mechanized pipe welding system that produces high deposition rates with excellent weld quality to reduce pipe welding costs.
Using 95/5 Shielding Gas During Low-Alloy Filler Rod Conformance Testing
In filler metal qualification tests where argon/oxygen shielding gas mixtures are used, Regis Geisler of Lincoln Electric explains why and how to leave some wiggle room in contracts to make adjustments as the situation warrants, instead of stipulating how welding will take place with a particular blend.
