Welding Copper and Copper Alloys Introduction Copper and its alloys have been used for centuries due to their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability. Welding these materials can be a complex process, as copper has unique properties that require specific techniques and considerations. In this article, we …

Purge Welding vs. Non-Purge Welding Introduction Definition of purge welding Purge welding is a welding technique that involves creating a protective gas atmosphere around the weld zone during the welding process. This is typically achieved by introducing an inert gas, such as argon, to displace the surrounding air. The purpose …

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 …
