Robert Fox of Hobart Filler Metals discusses the optimization of welding procedures for improved travel speeds and a better overall experience. 

Robert Fox of Hobart Filler Metals talks welding economics. Filler metals are essential to the welding process, but Robert provide examples of how carefully selecting both process and filler metal can reduce both arc-on and arc-off time for weld cost saving.

Why are there so many different flux cored wires? Robert Fox of Hobart Filler Metals answers this question and more in this discussion of the characteristics, properties, classification, and economics of gas-shielded and self-shielded flux cored wires.

Robert Fox of Hobart Filler Metals focuses on the when, where, why, and how of implementing the submerged arc welding process in pipe welding applications. Concepts such as wire composition and flux behavior influence weld metal properties and process performance. 

Robert Fox of Hobart Filler Metals introduces metal cored wires and how they can be used to improve welding productivity in in-position pipe welding. 

Tamer Selima explains interesting trends, best practices, and various applications for post-weld heat treatment in the Middle East region. 

Tamer Selima continues his review of flame, induction, and resistance heating and post weld heat treatment best practices. He explains how each system is set up, used, controlled, recorded, and removed.   

Tamer Selima takes a deeper dive into the advantages and complexities in common applications using flame, Induction, and resistance heating methods. He helps us understand how the processes work and where each method can be used. 

Tamer Selima talks about how he became involved in welding and his journey to become a Heating Specialist with ITW Welding. We also discuss various preheating, post weld heat treatment, welding trends, and applications in the Oil and Gas industry in the Middle East and Caspian Sea regions.   

special guests, Mark Snyder from A&B Process and Mark Kadlec from Miller TIG’s division review some of the recent technology developments and how simple machine adjustments can increase the speed of TIG welding -- and even automation opportunities.
