Here's a manufacturing challenge: attach a flat gold-plated copper connector to a massive gold-plated copper bus. The obvious approach, mechanical fasteners, tend to be costly and unreliable.

Description: This monitor meets welding specifications requiring oxygen levels down to 10 parts per million (ppm). It is waterproof- and dustproof-rated to IP65 Standard and offers warning icons that ...

Description: Ranging from 6- to 88-inch pipes, this product is designed to reduce the space necessary for purging. It has an additional gas input line, which means extra purge gas can be introduced.

Humans have been welding at least since the advent of the first horseshoes and wagon wheels. Back then, the village blacksmith didn't have screw threads or Cherry rivets, electricity or gas. For those ...

A new technology developed by a Cavendish Nuclear-led consortium enables real time detection of defects in fusion welding processes as they occur. The AWESIM project test rig at NAMRC (Image: ...

Working side by side, fabricators weld thick steel plates along the base of a massive hopper assembly. The controlled welding process ensures strong fusion, structural stability, and long lasting ...

Friction stir welding joins previously unweldable materials. Friction stir welding, a relatively new process, is having a tremendous impact on welding dissimilar alloys. It was developed in 1991 by ...

• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...

Safer and longer-lasting fusion energy reactors could be made possible following new insights into the behaviour of their welded components. The research, published in the Journal of Materials ...
