    Lazer welding

    They are good for applications those are straight. however when you are beginning to work in a corner with tight space you will find their practicality reduced. Depends on application . if you mainly work at shop and have extra cash buy it . if you are field guy ignore it i say. IWE EWE...

    Why are intermittent groove/butt welds prohibited?

    Greetings. Many reasons about intermittent welds are becouse that they carry insignificant amount of load and they are there just to hold the material together. each start and end of a weld is a imperfection that is a crack and cracks grow in dynamic loads pretty quick. CTOD factor. when a...

    When is PWHT necessary - according to the standards?

    As CWB1 stated depending on the industry you work the requirement for the PWHT will change. A railroad wagon and a ship is not constructed in same principles even the steel is same. One has great dynamic forces other has great corrosion problem. IWE EWE certificate holder.

    AWS E71T-11 flux core MIG wire shelf life

    Here is a tip : i would suggest to remove wire wheel from machine when you are not using and wrap it in stretch film and be sure to have a moisture film inside of the pack you made. this way it will last pretty well. IWE EWE certificate holder.

    Weld Stress Analysis

    Greetings. This is why you pay for the welding engineers to calculate those amounts due to welding is a special procedure that its quality cannot be guaranteed. Means : sim will never work. :> Simulations calculate perfect conditions . however the real implications of the weld ALWAYS have...

    EB Welding Nickel Alloy 718

    Greetings ; what kind of strategy your customer has shared ? You are having liqcracks probably due to nickel has FCC structure. Using a filler metal that would generate some BCC in the weld metal would solve the liqcracks. for speed amperage you can check example WPS s from the standards...

    Calculation of the filler metal consumption

    https://gedikwelding.com/en/welding-calculator this will help you. You can calculate the weld weight then you can calculate rest. Remember these are approximate always have some extra material for tests, failures and overfills. This will depend on your welder.

    Roymech Weld Stress table

    at the link it says : "The methods described below is based on the simple method of calculation of weld stress as identified in BS 5950- clause 6.7.8.2 . The other method identifed in BS 5950 - 1 clause 6.7.8.3 as the direction method uses the method of resolving the forces transmitted by unit...
