Hybrid-welding is a composite process combining two different, independent heat sources to obtain a synergic result of characteristics widely superior to those obtained when the processes are applied in succession. Most common, widely studied and applied is Laser enhanced Arc welding, where certain types of Laser sources are selected for their suitability to the purpose, [...]
Increasing Productivity with a FCAW Wire Optimized for Your Application Ken Lee, Application Engineer, The Lincoln Electric Company If welding with a solid wire is satisfactory, why use a higher priced flux-cored wire? A flux-cored wire is optimized to obtain performance not possible with a solid wire. For many welding applications like vertical-up welding, flat [...]
The Croydon Group, Ltd., Rockford, IL In much the same way that the automatic transmission has simplified the process of driving, Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) has simplified the process of welding. Of all welding methods, GMAW is said to be one of the easiest to learn and perform. The main reason is because the [...]
