High strength steels continue to be popular for fabrication and manufacturing applications that require materials with less weight and thinner sections — without sacrificing strength. These include the building of cranes, Offshore Jack-up legs, heavy equipment, pressure vessels, bridges and more…

Producing quality welds requires attention to detail in setting weld parameters. Even slight changes can lead to significantly different results…

MIG welding (also known as GMAW) is a popular process because of the productivity, reliability and ease of use it offers. However, issues can arise if a welder doesn’t use proper technique and parameters or perform proper equipment setup and maintenance…

Cost is always a factor when making a decision about your welding operation. Fortunately, the cost to change from solid wire to metal-cored wire is generally minimal — especially if you factor in the labor savings and increased productivity you can gain…

In the right welding operation, metal-cored wire can provide process improvements and simplify training, particularly if you have less-skilled welders…

Metal-cored wire can bring key benefits to your welding operation compared to using solid wire — namely, improved productivity, higher weld quality, and lower costs…
