Ancient blacksmiths were pioneers of modern welding
7. juli 2020
Mikko Moilanen is a Finnish blacksmith, archaeologist, and Doctor of Philosophy who forges Viking Age swords in the same way as blacksmiths did over a thousand years ago. The traditional craft and theory of ancient metalworking have largely disappeared across Europe. Moilanen has learned these skills as a journeyman and forged his first sword already at the age of 12.

Rolex fixed by welding
A Norwegian Rolex owner saved a fine sum of money when the wristband of his valuable timepiece was fixed by welding. The owner tried to take the watch to various watchmakers in Oslo to have it repaired. Several attempts were made to fix the wristband by, for instance gluing, but they all failed. One of these craftsmen suggested welding to fix the wristband but did not want to try it himself, in case the heat was to cause even more damage.

Kemppi's advanced welding processes: TIG and stick welding (MMA)
In TIG welding, process development has mainly focused on modifying the current modes in different situations. In practice, this means variations of pulse and AC welding, as well as ignition or tack welding. In the case of pulse welding, the welding machine user has numerous choices, as the adjustment possibilities for these process variations are highly versatile.
