The welding of dissimilar metal joints in new and retrofit power plant boiler tubing has long proved challenging. New plants designed to operate at higher temperatures and pressures require advanced ...

Laser processes with dynamic beam shaping create stable joints even in challenging material combinations. Recent applications demonstrate how to eliminate filler materials while improving quality, ...

Times change. It wasn't that long ago that if you owned a set of oxy-acetylene gas bottles for welding and cutting you would be considered to have a pretty well-equipped home shop. Maybe you ...

Chromium-molybdenum (chrome-moly) pipe has become a standard in the power generation industry, not only because of its corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength, but also for its ...

Permanent joining creates a lasting bond between materials, often stronger than the materials themselves, using methods like soldering, brazing, and welding. Soft soldering joins metal parts using a ...

There isn't one welding process suitable for all applications, so you need to consider these factors: the type and thickness of the metal you're welding, how big the job is, whether you're welding ...
