At Technoweld, we are often approached about the best practice for welding, in particular, GTAW (TIG welding) of a pipe. We’ve compiled some best practices around pipe joints.

In part 3 of the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) blog, we will discuss the power circuit. Often people forget the basics when setting up gas metal arc welding machines, it’s these basics that create a lot of frustration with welders. Welding is complex but it doesn’t...

Mechanical property is a material’s capacity to cope with a range of applied external forces such as shear stresses, load, weather conditions, and time. Mechanical engineers can measure the ability of the metal to resist shearing, stretching, twisting, compressing or...

You may be a sculptor creating a new piece of welded steel artwork, the colours are unlike anything else. Welding in itself is an art. The various colours of both welds and adjacent metals do not just look great, the colours indicate a lot about the weld. They combine to enhance the finished object. An example is when TIG welding stainless steel pipe for the pharmaceutical industry, where any weld colours above gold or straw are not desirable.

Arc Welding is the process by which two pieces of metal are joined together by the use of electrical energy. Arc welding creates an electric arc that melts the base metal and typically a filler wire. The subsequent pool of molten metal then solidifies and fuses the edges of the parent material to join the metal together. To make this possible, electricity is passed from the power source through an electrode. The electric current is converted to heat due to the resistance in the flow of electrons across the air gap. This intense electrical energy creates an arc.

The basic requirement of welding management is having a qualified welding procedure and qualified welders to AS1554 or AS3992. When starting a project, it is important to understand what the project requires, or you may get caught out. As a minimum, the purchase order...

Golden Rules of Welding explains the basics of welding. Developed by Technoweld Director, Graham Fry who holds a Bachelor of Adult Education, international welding engineer, a vast number of nationally and internationally recognised supervision/inspection...

Whether you have a small welding business or are a multinational manufacturing company, your ultimate goal should always be to create a high-quality product with a long lifespan. No matter how experienced your welders are, to consistently provide welding quality of...
