Who should develop welding procedures? | WELDING ANSWERS
Sep 4, 2024 · Developing a welding procedure is the responsibility of the welding engineer. Most fabricators don’t have a welding engineer on staff and require that those with the most welding knowledge develop the WPS. Many times this falls in the hands of the certified welding inspector (CWI). This is not a bad thing, after all, CWIs are trained on ...

6 Reasons Why Metal Fabricators Must Understand Metallurgy
Metal fabricators, or at least those in charge of welding operations, must have a sound understanding of metallurgy. Metallurgy is the study of metals, their properties and their behaviors, especially when undergoing the welding process. Below are 6 areas of fabrication for which an understanding of the metallurgical properties of metals is vital. Material Selection […]
Why demand for aluminum welding is increasing
Nov 9, 2023 · The ability to develop welding procedures for aluminum and aluminum alloys coupled with the ability to weld these alloys is becoming even more important for fabricators. Whether it is a job shop producing different products every day or a firm that specializes in a single product, the ability to fabricate out of aluminum is necessary. […]
Welding Cost Reduction Revisited
Consider pulse welding instead of CV welding. Spatter reduces the efficiency of the filler metal by as much as 5%. However, the real cost is the time it takes to remove the spatter. Eliminate spatter and you can significantly reduce labor costs. Do you think spatter isn’t a big deal? Take a look at The Real Cost of Welding Spatter.
