  • What Are The Guidelines For Welding Cast Iron
    By: Brayan | - Welding cast iron calls for some special procedure. Welding cast iron is a challenging task and there can be no two opinions about that. Cast iron, unlike most other steels, has much greater carbon content at 2 to 4 percent. This causes most cast iron to be brittle making it difficult to weld. If the following procedure is followed, cast iron can be welded with relative ease:


    Use either cooling or heating while welding cast iron as it is important to keep cast iron out of the 1 ...

  • How To Select And Prepare Tungsten Electrodes For Your Application
    By: Brayan | - To those of us who may not be aware, tungsten is an uncommon metallic element that is used in the manufacturing of TIG (or GTAW) electrodes. The TIG electrodes demand the type of hardness and high temperature resistance that tungsten alone can provide. This is because tungsten electrodes are meant to carry the welding current to the arc. It is to be noted that tungsten has an inconceivably high melting point when compared with other metals.

    These electrodes come in different sizes a ...

  • Introduction To Plastic Welding
    By: Brayan | - Plastic welding and spot welding both are almost similar to each other. There is a difference noted. In plastic welding, heat is supplied through convection of the pincher tips, instead of conduction. The two plastic pieces are brought together. At the time of welding, a jet of hot air is liberated. This melts the parts to be joined along with the plastic filler rod. As the rod starts melting, it is forced into the joint and causes the fusion of the parts.

  • Underwater Welding
    By: Brayan | - Welding is an unavoidable process of modern engineering – civil, electrical, mechanical, automobiles, marine aeronautical – in all branches. It is used in fabrications and erections in infrastructures and installations. It joins metals or thermoplastics. Forming a pool of molten mass – the weld puddle – and allowing it to cool to become a strong joint is the basis of the process of welding. For repairing to be carried out underwater, there is a separate process. That is c ...
