Stable arc ignition improves welding quality and reduces costs

13 de diciembre de 2020

In MIG/MAG welding, arc ignition plays a key role in welding quality. Any instability will result in the post-weld cleaning of spatters, which eats up resources and hinders productivity in industrial environments. Available in modern welding equipment, new ignition-enhancing technologies offer additional control of the arc and support the craftsmanship of welders.

5 ways to save in welding consumable costs

Money talks. In almost all companies, costs and expenses are critical components in decision-making, and the winner is the one who achieves the highest quality at the lowest total cost. In the world of welding, not only the purchase price of welding equipment is significant, but also the price of frequently-replaced welding consumables. Wouldn't you also like to achieve significant cost savings in consumables?

Kemppi's advanced welding processes: TIG and stick welding (MMA)

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.

Magnetism in welding: how to deal with magnetic blow

When welding ferritic steels, especially high-strength grades, magnetic blow can become a real challenge. This phenomenon occurs when magnetic fields interfere with the welding arc, causing instability, spatter, and sometimes making welding almost impossible.
