Welding has the image of being a down-to-earth, hands-on activity, but a lot rides on it in terms of safety, both to plant and to personnel.

More ergonomic tools and robotics will go a long way towards filling the skills gap.

It has long been known that the parts per million range quantity of trace elements has a tremendous influence on the properties of otherwise pure metals (AE van Arkel, Reine Metalle, Berlin 1939) which is also true for nickel. The norm for the purest nickel grade – Ni 270 – was established decades ago for vacuum tube parts.
