Advantages and disadvantages of the pulsed arc compared to the standard arc Cruising along at high speed on the freeway – in a modern sedan, you feel as if you are simply gliding along rather than putting up a fight against the centrifugal forces. It mirrors the lightness of being, and enables greater distances to be covered with ease. But what would it be like if these driving dynamics and lightness were transferred to country roads or even urban traffic?…
Be it in the brewing trade or in cheesemaking, extremely strict legal requirements apply in the food and drinks industry. One hundred percent compliance with hygiene regulations is therefore of the utmost importance. In order to prevent germs and bacteria from taking up residence, welded joints must be as smooth as possible and, above all, non-porous. This is why the food and drinks industry relies on stainless steel, which is of course distinguished by its corrosion resistance and the fact…
When is the user actually ready for welding? When they’ve prepared the workpiece, put on their gloves and helmet, the system is switched on, and the gas hose is already connected? What’s next? Our blog article provides answers using the example of MIG/MAG manual welding. 1) The parent material Long before it becomes a question of how the welder settings need to be applied, it is necessary to identify the metal the workpiece is made of – the basis for…
Driver assistance systems in cars and robotic welding in industrial production – are there any similarities here? If we look at the development stages of the motor vehicle first, it was initially analog systems such as power steering that made driving so much easier. Over time, more and more digital helpers in the field of passive safety were added, for example ABS, ESP, lane departure warning systems, and many more. Today the age of the self-driving car is almost upon…
In the second part of our series on MIG/MAG welding torches, we take a closer look at special versions. The choice of MIG/MAG welding torches in particular is almost unlimited, with a version for every process variant, welding challenge, and personal welder preference. High-tech welding torch The more specialized and complex the application and welding process, the more high-tech the welding torch solution. Key to high-quality push-pull systems in general is that the electric motors of the two wirefeeders are…
Gas metal arc welding falls broadly into two categories: Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding and Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding. Within these two groups, the market offers endless choice, with a host of solutions for different processes and control options. Yet the design of the welding torches is almost identical, with only a few small internal differences depending on the process in question. So what exactly is a “welding torch” and a “MIG/MAG welding torch” in particular? Read on to…
If you google for TIG welding torches, one thing soon becomes clear: There’s an almost infinite choice. From the torch bodies, through all the various types of TIG gas nozzle, to the wide range of handles. But what exactly are the differences between all these TIG torches, and what does each one do? Which Torch Body is Suitable for What? The main thing is to hit the spot – that’s what it’s all about. Because even the most comfortable and…
Almost any material can be welded using common welding processes: metal inert gas or metal active gas (MIG/MAG), tungsten inert gas (TIG) or electrode (manual metal arc) welding methods. Which process to use depends on the requirements of the component and the production process. Johann Dallmannsböck, trainer at Fronius International’s Welding Business Academy, explains which welding process to use and when. Welding speed MIG/MAG can reduce welding times. This welding process lends itself to automation, which makes joining particularly quick…
No other process offers more stable weld seams than TIG welding, as well as better quality in terms of the look and feel of the product. In addition, TIG has a wide range of applications: The process is suitable for all metals and thin sheets as well as out-of-position welding and root pass welding. What’s more, welding does not produce slag, the material hardly deforms at all, and the process is virtually spatter-free. The advantages and broad range of applications…
Companies producing steel and aluminum supporting structures that are then sold in the European Union (EU) must ensure their products carry a CE label. This label indicates whether the respective supporting structure meets standardized EU quality requirements. Examples of supporting structures include balconies, parapets, railings, bridges, and supports. In order for this quality seal to be granted, manufacturing companies themselves must be certified to European Standard (EN) 1090. The EN 1090 execution classes If a company wishes to obtain the…
