As car designs become more compact and complex, manufacturers increasingly rely on ultrasonic welding solutions to assemble ...

New research will optimize the welding, additive and manufacturing process. Arc welding and additive manufacturing are hugely important for creating large metal components relatively inexpensively and ...

Device makers are taking increased interest in product designs and assembly that support closed-loop recycling. A Branson plastic welding process can safely and nondestructively “unweld” plastics used ...

Everyone’s talking about Industry 4.0 nowadays. It’s a hot topic for society, politics and the economy. But what about digitisation in metal-working companies? What does it mean for joining technology ...

Whether you are a qualified engineer or a manufacturer, you most likely use welding on a regular basis when carrying out metalwork. Just to clarify, welding is a heating process that uses an electric ...

Between the needs of reducing emissions, constantly improving safety, and keeping costs low, the automotive industry faces challenges arising from recent shifts toward eco-friendly vehicles. Engineers ...

Arc welding using the Metal filler wire as consumable electrode and an Inert Gas to protect the molten pool against oxidation. Figure 1. Schematic of the MIG welding process. In the metal inert gas ...

Unlike composites made with a thermoset matrix, thermoplastic composites (TPCs) require neither complex chemical reactions nor lengthy curing processes. Thermoplastic prepregs require no refrigeration ...
