Selecting an ideal welding process is paramount to any welding project’s success, not only impacting weld quality but also productivity, cost efficiency and safety. In this post we will outline seven key factors you must keep in mind when identifying an optimal process for your project and how automation can help.   #1. Material Type The type of metal being welded is of prime importance when making welding decisions. Different materials like aluminum, steel and titanium possess unique properties that lend themselves to certain welding processes over others. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) weld ..read more

Welding, an integral element of metal fabrication, is both an art and science. At Bancroft Engineering, we understand that the integrity of any weld is also the integrity of its overall structure—whether automotive, aerospace or any other heavy industry— any imperfect welds may result in catastrophic failures that lead to catastrophic results. That is why in addition to providing state-of-the-art automated and semi-automated welding equipment we also build-in stress relieving solutions to mitigate against weld failure risks. Read on for more!   About Weld Stress Relieving Stress relievi ..read more

Welding is a critical process in the world of metal fabrication, and it plays a pivotal role in the success of various industries! When it comes to welding—whether you’re manually welding or using an automated solution—one of the key factors that significantly influences the quality and durability of the end result is the choice of filler metal. We understand the significance of selecting suitable filler metal based on material conditions. In this welder’s guide, we will examine all of the considerations and factors involved in making such an important decision.   The Significance of Fi ..read more
