The world of fusion welding has effected many industries and fabrication opportunities worldwide. Countless industrial items are assembled using a vast number of different welding techniques governed by numerous rules, codes and norms. Casting upgrade welding is a very specialised series of operations. The casting process offers a unique opportunity as the casting is an economic preform. Weld upgrade is inherent to the process.

Coherent, Inc. has expanded its fiber laser operation in Tampere, Finland, and designated the facility as a “Center of Excellence for Fiber Lasersâ€?.

CNIITMASH JSC became the first in Russia official partner of Bureau Veritas Exploitation S.A.S (France) involved in welding personnel and procedures certification according to European norms.

German, or better put Bavarian Weissbier (wheat beer), has a long tradition. Dating back more than a century, its recipe hasn’t changed. What has changed is the market. Weissbier has become a global product, which has placed higher demands on the production and the individual equipment components.

Xiris Automation announced that it has modified its WI2000 automatic inspection system to measure the weld bead geometry and forming characteristics of High Voltage Cable.

Somerset Community College’s (SCC) Additive Manufacturing (AM) program has successfully produced stainless steel parts using a USD600 desktop 3D printer.

Significant developments recently have resulted in the introduction of new nickel alloys that offer major improvements in mechanical properties. Not least is Inconel 740H1, an alloy offering enhanced resistance to coal ash and therefore of considerable interest to fossil fuel fired boiler manufacturers.

voestalpine Böhler Welding has acquired a majority stake in the traditional Italian manufacturer for welding machines, Selco s.r.l..

Inconel alloys such as Inconel 625, 718 and X750 are widely for piping and valves in the offshore sector. Although these alloys are used widely for both internal and external corrosion resistance, they have different applications such as increasing mechanical strength, reducing friction and galling, facilitating cycling and mitigating fatigue stress.

The regulations and standards governing the tube sector demand ever more restricting levels of quality from the manufacturers.
