Do You Know about Exothermic Welding? Introduction Exothermic welding, also known as thermite welding or aluminothermic welding, is a process that creates a permanent electrical connection between metal conductors using a chemical reaction. It involves the controlled reaction of a powdered mixture, typically containing metal oxides and powdered metals, which …

Eddy Current Testing (ECT) – NDT Inspection Introduction Definition of Eddy Current Testing Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that is used to detect surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials. ECT works on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is capable of detecting defects such …
Read More »What is Weld Purging?
What is Weld Purging? Introduction Weld purging is the process of removing oxygen and other gases from the weld zone in order to create a high-quality, defect-free weld. This is done by introducing an inert gas, such as argon or helium, into the welding environment to displace any atmospheric gases …
