A fabricator that needs to weld thick plate in as few passes as possible often will turn to submerged arc welding (SAW), a legacy process that has dominated heavy fabrication for decades. Variations ...

Welding refers to a wide variety of processes in which metals are joined by fusion. The metal at the interface of two or more parts is melted or fused by application of intense, localised heat. A ...

Research center Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH) is researching ways to make welding thick plates in shipbuilding more reliable. The scientists are developing a multi-laser beam welding process with ...
