Welding
Material joining by the use of power sources, gases, nozzles, tips, wire, filler metals, manual and automated processes, robots, jigs, turntables, consumables and other equipment assisted by Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) and Computer Numerical Control (CNC).
More Manufacturers Take a Closer Look at Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)
Unlike powder-based additive manufacturing, this second method of additive manufacturing uses a standard high-deposition process and readily available materials. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is particularly cost-effective for prototypes and small-batch production runs.
Plenty of risks accompany the operation of welding equipment and machinery – but misinformation can increase the chances for poor decision-making and hazardous mistakes. Westermans Intl. Technical Director Mark Reaney calls out some industry myths and offers tips to help you operate as safely as possible.

They expand and upgrade their laser marking, laser micromachining and sub-system operations in Gilching, Germany.
The 3D metal printing process is prone to capture microscopic inclusions and voids in the material. When these parts are welded, these micro voids coagulate into large bubbles of porosity that weaken the weld due to stress concentration in the area of the porosity. John DeLalio of EB Industries explains how electron beam welding can be used to address this issue.
Wasted time and lost productivity are enemies in any welding operation, especially in harsh conditions, on large jobsites or in applications where it’s difficult for operators to get to where the work must be done. The right welder/generator system, equipped with advanced technologies, can help complete work faster while also improving quality and safety.
This deal advances their regional growth strategy in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The company celebrates 90 years in business with the My Miller Milestone giveaway to recognize dedicated welders.
Shandell Monge is their new sales engineer.
These best practices for welded moment connections and column splices in the field require an up-front investment of time and money, but considering how much you’re likely leaving on the table, it’s a small price to pay.
