If you go back to elementary school, we’re taught that there are three states of matter, but there’s also the fourth one, known as plasma. Plasma is found in lighting, high-temperature, and even our bodies. It’s an electrically conductive ionized gas-like substance. (more…)
Plasma is a more powerful cutting agent than any standard flame source, allowing for rapid and more efficient results. Plasma cutting torches are ideal for tasks such as cutting through metal plates, sheet metal pipes and bolts. Learn more in this infograph below: (more…)
The Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process has been around for over 60 years now as an extremely versatile and well established welding method. The process is suitable for applications where thick steels require long, continuous welds. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the process, operating principle, and advantages of SAW. Operation of Submerged Arc Welding Process SAW involves the formation of an arc that’s created between a continuously-fed electrode and a workpiece. At the start of the welding action, the flow of current in the high resistance path creates intense heat, melting a path of flux surrounding the electrode. This...
Hardfacing is a low cost welding process used to deposit wear-resistant materials onto metal components in order to extend their service life. The material applied is harder, erosion resistance, corrosion resistance and ductility compare to the base metal. (more…)
