Preventing welding fumes: what welders can do

Posted on 23. July 2024

Welding is an exciting and challenging job. Top welding specialists are considered heroes of a sort, are sought after around the world, and are handsomely paid wherever they go. The connections they create guarantee the safety of cars, bikes, planes, ships, trains, and more. Despite this, the profession sometimes suffers from a poor image and fewer young people want to learn this trade. Why is this? Well, welding produces welding fumes that are hazardous to health. However, unlike in the…

Reducing energy consumption during welding—how it’s done

Posted on 18. April 2024

When amperages of up to 700 A regularly rush through the arc, one thing quickly becomes clear—welding is an energy-intensive process. This brings with it the question: “Is it possible to save energy here?” The answer is a resounding yes! Energy-efficient welding machines and processes are essential in doing so. We show you five features that you should look for in an energy-efficient welding machine.…

When Light Becomes a Danger

Posted on 11. July 2023

Welding is an exciting and challenging job. In addition to manual dexterity, welders need extensive knowledge when it comes to choosing the right filler metals, welding parameters, clamping devices and welding sequences. Demanding and well-paid, this profession is both interesting and varied, but it also involves risks, especially if welders fail to protect themselves adequately during manual welding. Danger of Arc Radiation! In arc welding, the air between the electrode and the workpiece is ionized by applying an electrical voltage.…

The consequences of welding without sufficient protection

Posted on 27. February 2023

Can you imagine a firefighter tackling a blaze without a helmet? Or a surgeon operating on a critically ill patient without sterile protective clothing? It’s almost unthinkable. Safety is paramount in these scenarios and the same applies to welders, whose work can pose significant health risks. This makes it all the more important to ensure they have sufficient protection measures in place. Failing to do so can even result in hospitalization, as is the case for welding and application engineer…

Welding and sustainability: how do we combine the two?

Posted on 11. August 2022

Acting sustainably and taking a conscientious approach to the use of resources and energy is becoming increasingly important in the manufacturing sector – not just in view of new energy laws and eco-design directives but also in view of cost effectiveness and companies’ environmental footprint. Given that welding technology is a central component of many production processes, we are seeing this trend becoming established here too. But what kind of factors do we need to consider? What are the important criteria…

Sustainability at Fronius: what are we doing?

Posted on 7. July 2022

Climate change, a shortage of raw materials, and social injustices essentially leave us with only two alternatives. The first is that we do nothing and watch what happens from the sidelines, and the second is that we make use of the opportunities available to us and take action within our means. At Fronius we have opted for the latter; that is to make our company, our welding systems, their manufacture, and even the welding processes as sustainable as possible. You…
