The present invention relates to a method for welding a half coil of a reactor, which performs the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) along a half coil temporarily welded to a welding machine body using an automatic welding machine to increase a formation amount of back beads, thereby increasing coupling strength of the half coil, increasing airtightness of a fluid flowing along the half coil, securing uniform welding quality by automatic welding, increasing productivity, and reducing production costs.

A system for manufacturing boiler tubes includes a first spindle for receiving a first tube having a first weld preparation, a second spindle for receiving a second tube having a second weld preparation, the first spindle and the second spindle being rotatable synchronously, and a welding device having a first weld head. The welding device is configured to automatically weld the first tube to the second tube according to a control routine stored in memory to produce a boiler tube.

A composite cemented carbide roll comprising an inner layer made of an iron-based alloy, and an outer layer made of cemented carbide which is metallurgically bonded to an outer peripheral surface of the inner layer; the cemented carbide of the outer layer comprising 55-90 parts by mass of WC particles and 10-45 parts by mass of an Fe-based binder phase having a particular composition; a shaft member and a shaft end member being metallurgically bonded to at least one axial end of the inner layer; the inner layer being made of an iron-based alloy containing 2.0% or more in total by mass of at least one selected from the group consisting of Cr, Ni and Mo; and the shaft member and the shaft end member being made of an iron-based alloy containing 1.5% or less in total by mass of at least one selected from the group consisting of Cr, Ni and Mo.

A welding structure of a press-formed part made by combining and joining two parts formed by press-forming and each having an opening portion on at least one side of a cross-section, while the opening portions face each other, and includes a step portion that is provided by forming a bent projection projecting outwardly on a tip end portion of a side wall portion of a lower side part, partially or entirely on a joining surface. A tip end side of the step portion is fitted into the opening portion of an upper side part, and the step portion of the lower side part and the tip end of a side wall portion of the upper side part are linearly joined by arc welding.

Systems and methods are presented herein for a method of attaching a strip to a housing. An internal support member is inserted into a collapsible housing, such that it is arranged along a longitudinal axis of an inner surface of the collapsible housing. An outer support member is arranged along an outer surface the collapsible housing opposite the internal support member. A strip is positioned along the outer surface using the outer support member and the internal support member. Then the strip is permanently welded to the outer surface using a welding element. Welding is performed by a welding element located in one (or both) of the internal support member or the outer support member.

A real-time virtual reality welding system including a programmable processor-based subsystem, a spatial tracker operatively connected to the programmable processor-based subsystem, at least one mock welding tool capable of being spatially tracked by the spatial tracker, and at least one display device operatively connected to the programmable processor-based subsystem. The system is capable of simulating, in virtual reality space, a weld puddle having real-time molten metal fluidity and heat dissipation characteristics. The system is further capable of importing data into the virtual reality welding system and analyzing the data to characterize a student welder's progress and to provide training.
