Magnetic Pulse Welding
Physics of the Process Power Source Tubular Structure Applications Safe Practices Magnetic Pulse Welding (MPW) is a solid-state process that uses electromagnetic pressure to accelerate one workpiece to produce an impact against another workpiece. The metallic bond...
HF Welding Parameters and Procedures
High Frequency Welding (HFW) is the main welding technology for manufacturing cold-formed welded steel tubes. Welded tubes are normally made from flat sheet material by continuous roll forming and the High Frequency Induction Welding process. The tubes are widely used...
High Frequency Tube/Pipe Welding
Fundamentals and Principles of HF Welding Advantages and Disadvantages Induction Seam Welding of Pipe and Tubing Contact Seam Welding of Pipe and Tubing Fundamentals and Principles of HF Welding High Frequency (HF) welding processes rely on the properties of HF...
Friction Welding Processes
The Friction Stir Welding family of processes relies on significant plastic deformation or forging action to overcome the barriers to solid-state welding. Frictional heating dominates at the beginning of the process, followed by the heating due to plastic deformation...
Solid State Welding
Introduction Solid-State welding refers to a family of processes that produce welds without the requirement for molten metal. Solid-state welding theory emphasizes that the driving force for two pieces of metal to spontaneously weld (or form a metallic bond) to each...
