As car designs become more compact and complex, manufacturers increasingly rely on ultrasonic welding solutions to assemble plastic parts with accuracy and consistency.

Remember the 80’s movie, Flashdance? The female lead, Jennifer Beals, was a welder by day in a Pittsburgh steel mill and for many people that was their first glimpse of what a welder did for a living.

Welding refers to a wide variety of processes in which metals are joined by fusion. The metal at the interface of two or more parts is melted or fused by application of intense, localised heat. A ...

Introduction to Welding Processes provides a comprehensive overview of the most commonly used welding processes, including shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, flux-cored arc welding, ...

Soldering, brazing, and welding are all methods of joining two or more pieces of metal and selected other materials. They are also methods used to fill gaps in metal parts. In welding, the two metals ...

Both programs are non-credit, and each is a one-week, six-session program. Students may enroll in the welding classes together or individually. All classes ...

Unlike composites made with a thermoset matrix, thermoplastic composites (TPCs) require neither complex chemical reactions nor lengthy curing processes. Thermoplastic prepregs require no refrigeration ...

Hot-plate welding and STTIr laser welding are both used in joining plastic parts. The authors break down the differences and the practical outcomes. The Branson GLX-3 Laser Welder from Emerson uses ...

“Introduction to Welding Processes” provides a comprehensive overview of the most commonly used welding processes, including oxyfuel welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, ...
