MicroTack revolutionizes the tack welding of thin sheet metal
18 June 2019
Tack welding is one of the most important work phases before welding. In tacking, the structural parts are combined with short tack welds in preparation for the actual welding. The tack welds keep the parts in the correct position in relation to each other until the welding has been done.

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.
