What if there was an arc welding process that could weld thick sections and fine mesh metal screens? And did not require grounding of the part. And could automatically weld over scale and rust by reducing oxides?

WELD OF THE WEEK: Weld Procedure Qualifications
Steam boiler explosions in the 1800s claimed many lives. In response to these accidents, ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) created a system of voluntary welding codes and specifications to ensure pressure vessel weld integrity.

The Bleeding Edge
For once I’m not talking about technology.
Only 1 in 20 people donate blood! And the Covid lockdown has cut donations while the need for blood remains high. ARC has hosted the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center “Bloodmobile” donation truck several times last year. Our first scheduled visit for 2021 is next Thursday, Jan 28.

WELD OF THE WEEK: Rock Bits E02
Another weld video from our archives. In your car engine, the bearings are made with inexpensive heat-treated carburized steel riding on Babbitt bearings made mostly of tin.

Weld of the Week: GTA Cladding E01
At ARC Specialties we are big advocates for video monitoring of the welding process. We add cameras to most of our systems. The late Don Alexander once told me that he could see 100 different things in the leading edge of the weld puddle. I’m only up to 86 😉 but I agree that much can be learned by watching the weld.

Rolex Day at ARC
It is the people who make the robots work. From ’83 until 1990, ARC Specialties was a part-time, one man company. It was fun, but I was also very limited as to what ARC could accomplish. So I am acutely aware of the importance of having a team.
