KEEP THOSE LENSES CLEAN: FLUX CORE ARC WELDING, TACKLING WORM TRACKS

In this video, we delve into the realm of flux core arc welding, focusing on a common issue known as worm tracks, which are gas residues trapped under the slag during the welding process. Hosted by welder and educator Guy Seguin, we’ll unravel the causes of worm tracks, shedding light on topics like amperage, voltage, wire feed speed, and their relationship with this issue.

CWBA Welding Podcast - Episode 150 Jim Hansen

Ever wondered what it takes to revolutionize welding in shipbuilding? Buckle up as we embark on an insightful journey with Jim Hansen, a Project Engineer at EWI. From his captivating drive across borders to his anticipated work with Irving Shipbuilding, Jim shares his in-depth knowledge and experiences in a way that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

APPLICATION OF VISUAL INSPECTION AND NDT IN FATIGUE ASSESSMENT OF STEEL BRIDGES

Steel is a versatile and effective material that provides efficient and sustainable solutions for bridge construction. However, it is also prone to fatigue damage. Due to the cyclic loading, fatigue cracks are likely to initiate mainly from welded connections. Fatigue crack initiation and propagation can drastically affect the structural integrity and shorten the life expectancy of steel bridges. This research paper discusses visual inspection and NDT for assessing the structural integrity of steel bridges to avoid a catastrophic failure.

NWT & NUNAVUT CHAMBER OF MINES, A KEY ECONOMIC DRIVING FORCE FOR OVER 80 YEARS

The minerals industry has provided northerners tremendous economic, employment, business and community development opportunities. More recently, the northern minerals industry has created significant business and economic opportunities for northern Aboriginal governments, corporations, organizations, communities and peoples. The NWT & Nunavut Chamber of Mines has been the voice of the Northern mining and exploration industry since 1967.

CWBA Welding Podcast - Episode 149 Aimée Schmelzer

Join Max as he travels virtually to Würenlos, Switzerland featuring our guest, Aimée Schmelzer, CEO of ArtWelding and the first female President of the Swiss Welding Association.

AN EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGY TO CHARACTERIZE LOAD-BASED FRACTURE MODELS OF THIRD GENERATION ADVANCED HIGH STRENGTH STEEL RESISTANCE SPOT WELDS (PRESENTED AT CANWELD 2023)

This study systematically evaluates the available empirical failure prediction models for resistance spot welds with optimal and suboptimal fusion zone diameters of two grades of third generation advanced high strength steel.

FATIGUE PERFORMANCE OF HYBRID FCAW-FRICTION SURFACED WELDS

There are many welded structures for which service life is sensitive to cyclic loading. Therefore, design and fabrication approaches must account for the potential of in-service fatigue failure. In such structures, weld joints are common locations for fatigue crack initiation. Enhancing the fatigue resistance of weld joints can significantly extend the service life of welded structures.

CWBA Welding Podcast - Episode 148 Jake Brown

This week's guest is Jake Brown, Vice President of Hypertherm.

ADVANCES IN ALUMINUM WELDING TECHNOLOGIES (PRESENTED AT CANWELD 2023)

There is an increased rate of aluminum alloys expected in coming years considering the expansion of the transportation markets, along with various other industries relying on aluminum for light-weighting of structures. Light-weighting of electric vehicles, high speed trains, and marine vessels will continue to drive the need for aluminum joining in the coming years. New applications will also demand higher strength base materials which demand new welding filler materials and joining technologies. This presentation will outline some of the advances in these areas.

A SERIOUS WELDING SAFETY CONCERN - STRAY WELDING CURRENT CONTINUES

Dave Hisey has been presenting on the issue of stray welding currents since 1994. In his work as a tireless advocate for safety in welding, Hisey wants to help reduce and hopefully stop the death and injury of welders from electric shock. In this article, Hisey urges you to educate yourself about the hazards – and learn how to address this critical welder safety issue.

CWBA Welding Podcast - Episode 147 Alex Jordan

This week we catch up with Alex Jordan from AM Custom Fab.

FORGING A BRIGHT FUTURE TOGETHER: HIGHLIGHTS FROM CANWELD 2023

Another successful CanWeld Conference is officially in the books! The theme of CanWeld 2023 highlighted the thriving and diverse maritime communities, with a focus on advancements in workforce development, coastal industry, and emerging technologies.

SEASONAL WELDING PROJECTS TO BUILD SKILLS: HALLOWEEN CANDY BOWL

Develop your welding skills with this introductory project. In this video, Alicia Butty (Canadian Welder Girl) demonstrates all the steps to build a Halloween candy bowl. It can be welded with GMAW (gas metal arc welding).

GAS METAL ARC TRANSFER MODES: PART 2 - SPRAY AND PULSED TRANSFER

The Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process may be identified with several different modes of metal transfer which are based on the welding parameters such as, wire feed speed (current), voltage, electrode size, shielding gas composition, electrode chemistry, and type of power source. The principal droplet transfer modes of interest in GMAW are: short-circuiting, globular, spray, and pulsed. In this second and final article on transfer characteristics we will discuss the Spray and Pulsed GMAW Transfer modes.
