Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

A.Well, the short story is that welding nearly always causes distortion (warping). When you make a weld, you are fusing red-hot metal to the base metal, and there is a zone of metal next to the weld ...

Since weld distortion is a very costly problem for U.S. shipyards, the National Shipbuidling Research Program (NSRP) has embarked on a project to reduce weld distortion through innovative Induction ...

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 ...

This paper focuses on an arc-welding robot scheduling problem, which is the problem of determining the sequence of welding operations while avoiding heat-caused distortion for the objective of ...

California machine shop quadrupled output by switching from manual TIG to robotic laser welding, eliminating skilled labor ...

Engineers must not only consider design and material requirements, but also should take the actual welding process into account. Part positioning and welding procedures affect weld quality. Designers ...

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ESI Group (Paris:ESI), leading innovator in Virtual Prototyping software and services for manufacturing industries, announces the release of SYSWELD, ESI’s software solution ...

“Overview of Weld Defects” provides a comprehensive introduction to the most common varieties of weld discontinuities and distortion. It illustrates the causes of each of the twenty different weld ...

Every automotive project will require at least a little bit of welding along the way, and there is no question that MIG welding is the most commonly-used process for both body and chassis work on ...
