Guide to Plastic Welding

Plastic welding is a fabrication process, and one that not many people are aware exists. Broken plastics objects can undergo a cosmetic change to bring it back and save it from being thrown away. When we buy something that has plastic coating, and it gets broken, typically we replace it. However, plastic is very malleable… Continue reading Guide to Plastic Welding

Advantages & Disadvantages of Explosion Welding

What is Explosion Welding? Explosion welding is achieved by accelerating one of the components at an extremely high velocity through the use of chemical explosives. It is a solid-state welding process that is often used to clad carbon steel with a thin layer of corrosion-resistant material such as stainless steel, nickel alloy, titanium or zirconium.… Continue reading Advantages & Disadvantages of Explosion Welding

Guide to Energy Beam Welding

What is Energy Beam Welding (EBW)? Energy beam welding otherwise referred to as electron-beam welding, is a fusion welding process. The method involves a beam of high-velocity electrons that are applied to two materials that are being joined together. The pieces melt and fuse together as the kinetic energy of the electrons is transformed into… Continue reading Guide to Energy Beam Welding

What is Butt Welding?

What is a butt weld? A butt weld is a commonly used welding technique that can be automated or done by hand on steel pieces by a welder. This technique can also be done with brazing copper pieces. Now, you may be thinking, what is a butt welding used for? Well, it is used to… Continue reading What is Butt Welding?

The Science of Cold Welding: How to Join Metals Without Heat

What is Cold Welding? As you may have suspected from the term ‘cold welding’, there isn’t any heat involved. Cold welding is the process of joining two metals or materials together without using any heat. Now, this may sound impossible and contrary to everything you previously thought you knew about welding. But, it is possible… Continue reading The Science of Cold Welding: How to Join Metals Without Heat

Revolutionary Technique Developed to Weld Glass to Metal

Advancements Made for Welding Glass to Metal   Throughout welding history it was commonly thought that metals could only be welded to other metals, and glass only to glass; the two don’t usually weld together. However, researchers at Heriot-Watt University have developed a new, revolutionary technique that could allow glass and metal to be welded… Continue reading Revolutionary Technique Developed to Weld Glass to Metal

How Does Underwater Welding Work?

Underwater welding sounds like a cool and interesting job role. One that involves a great deal of skill and expertise. In a previous blog we explored what is meant by the term ‘underwater welding’ and how you can become an underwater welder. Today, we’d like to focus upon the two different types of underwater welding.… Continue reading How Does Underwater Welding Work?

Difference between welding, soldering and brazing

From building a laptop computer to constructing a new building, almost anything that is built using metal requires being able to join two metals together. In previous blog posts, we have covered everything from the main welding positions and joints, different types of welding, uses, equipment and PPE. Here, we are going to focus on… Continue reading Difference between welding, soldering and brazing

5 Different Types of Welding Joints

The applications of welding are limitless from the aeronautic industry, to automotive to residential needs. Depending on the type of job a welder is carrying out, different types of weld are required. Welding cannot always be done in our most desirable welding position, it all depends on the type of weld required and any joints… Continue reading 5 Different Types of Welding Joints

Differences between MIG welding and TIG welding

Within the welding industry, there are various arc welding processes you can use. The two main processes, and arguably the most well known, are MIG welding and TIG welding. Choosing the right welding process is vital to the success of your project. Using the wrong type of welding technique can result in numerous problems, such… Continue reading Differences between MIG welding and TIG welding
