SEE MOREFoundry Casts New Light on Cobot Applications
Trying to shrink an open order backlog in an era of scarce welding talent can make a welding engineer feel like a drowning man wearing cement boots. Fortunately, cobots can be a lifesaver, even in applications where automation had previously been discounted.
SEE MOREPTAW Hardfacing Nuclear Components
Plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW) hardfacing of components is a vital and complex science. Numerous military, industrial, and commercial products (e.g., pumps, augers, valves, etc.) depend on the hardfacing process to provide a wear-resistant surface so components can achieve optimum performance efficiency and service life.
