This month our subject is continuous welded rail (CWR). A fundamental problem in railway engineering is joining lengths of rail to form the contiguous track that trains need to operate (Figure 1).

Then, the Z-shaped stringers were integrated using robot-based continuous ultrasonic welding (Figure 2). Th e frames (Figure 3) and frame couplings were integrated by resistance welding using an ...

Agile Ultrasonics breaks new ground for ultrasonic composites welding in space manufacturing. Continuous ultrasonic welding (CUW) innovation presents the flexibility crucial for future lunar and ...

After botching many welding jobs, I have established baselines for any weld I now attempt: 1. Clamp the pieces, then add more clamps. Professional welders can strategically spot weld pieces they ...

Continuous weld rails, which are used as standard worldwide including in the U.K., are optimized to work around a given “stress-free temperature” (SFT).

IPG Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IPGP), the global leader in fiber laser technology, will showcase new and innovative fiber laser solutions at Laser World of Photonics, June 24-27, 2025 in Munich, ...
