Budding sculptor makes his mark in welding contest

The 2018 FIFA World Cup stirred up the whole Russia. Even those who had never been interested in sports watched the magnificent game of the Russian team with a sinking heart. Years from now, the world will still remember how Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, falling down, repelled the opponent's shot with his foot in the penalty shoot-out after the match with Spain in the 1/8 finals.

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.

Hundreds of meters of weld seams run through petioles in Jukka Lehtinen’s piece of art. Large flowers extend as high as three and a half meters, and two vast strawberries of steel hang in the air, weighing over 100 kilograms each. This piece of art, commissioned by the Finnish Parliament, was made with Kemppi equipment.

One of the most important elements in developing welding equipment has long been improving welding processes and creating new process variations. Modern measurement and arc control methods have made a wide range of variations in the arc welding process possible. These advanced welding processes significantly improve welding production efficiency and weld quality. This article presents the special processes and operations developed by Kemppi for MIG/MAG welding.
