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…

While solid welding wire has been the status quo for heavy equipment manufacturing, switching to metal-cored wire can drive tangible cost savings.
Metal-cored wire offers several key benefits that help improve efficiencies compared to solid wire…

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…

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…
