Historically, companies have relied on stick electrodes for welding chrome-moly tube and pipe, in part because of the mechanical and chemical properties these filler metals provide and also because they are the accepted standard specified for such applications. However, with greater demands to increase productivity and stay competitive, some […]
Robotic welding systems have become an increasingly popular fixture in industries that require speed and repeatability to maintain a high volume of productivity. In addition to delivering fast, accurate air movements that help reduce cycle times, robotic welding systems can repeatedly and […]
Due to its precise chemical and mechanical properties, low alloy steel has become an increasingly common material in industries ranging from heavy equipment manufacturing and shipbuilding to cross country pipe construction. Compared to conventional mild or carbon steels, low allow steels-through the addition of specific alloys […]
This article is published in memoriam of Tom Campbell, who passed away unexpectedly only a week after its completion. In addition to being the owner of Campbell's Welding & Machinery, Inc., Tom was a dedicated husband to his devoted wife, Keri and a committed father to his beloved […]
In an ideal world, the materials that companies weld in the manufacturing, fabricating, construction and other such industries would all match perfectly-both in their mechanical and chemical composition. This scenario would certainly simplify the welding process, especially the selection […]
