COMMON CHALLENGES OF WELDING HEAVY COMPONENTS

Welding challenges

Welders are an essential part of any manufacturing operation and yet, one of the most overlooked. Challenges that are faced every day include keeping long weld seams consistent while facing welder fatigue. Any resulting inconsistencies may require rework. It’s a domino effect, costing time and money.

A simple solution is to provide them with a lightweight torch, but some seams are too long to be completed without stops and restarts. Specific best practices can make these weld starts and stops blend effortlessly.

In addition, varied material thicknesses, from thick to thin, provide a set of challenges that may involve pre-heat, multiple weld passes, or consideration of the best mode of transfer for the application.
