When it comes to choosing filler metals for critical applications, it’s essential to find ones with the right mechanical and chemical properties. Having the right properties can help provide the proper impact toughness for the application, which is especially important when welding high-strength, low alloy materials…

Welding spatter is not only visually unappealing, but it also impacts the efficiency of a welding operation. In most cases, the spatter must be removed to pass a company’s quality checks…

The most important material property is good toughness at low temperatures. Weld metal properties are often the limiting factor…

Welding of stainless steel requires knowledge about the material as well as welding methods and products to maintain the material’s stainless properties.

Stainless steel is not a specific material, but a common term for a group of corrosion-resistant steel types. Stainless steels are steels which normally have a chromium content of at least 10.5%.

Weld failures can occur in any number of ways and are often caused by simple oversights in the welding operation. In many cases, those oversights can result from lack of proper training about the techniques required for welding on a particular material or joint style…
