Disclosed is a temporary and mobile apparatus and methods for manufacturing welded products, including pressure vessels, wherein heating and/or cooling is to be applied to substrate material of the weld site. Certain embodiments include panels arranged to form a convection section that allows for improved heating and cooling of substrates and provide improved welding processes. Embodiments can include a manifold along used for heating and cooling. Apparatuses and methods of using making those apparatuses for improved welding are described herein.

The invention relates to a method for joining two essentially metal sheet-type workpieces. In said method, edge regions of the workpieces to be joined are bent by up to 90 in relation to a plane of the workpiece, the bent edge regions being placed against each other, and the edge regions are then heated to a predefined joining temperature by at least one first frictional element that moves relative to the edge regions, are subjected to a certain contact pressure, and are joined while being deformed.

The invention relates to a method for joining two essentially metal sheet-type workpieces. In said method. the edge regions of the workpieces to be joined are placed at a distance from one another, at least one wire-shaped filler material is introduced into a zone between the edge regions before or during the joining process, and edge regions and the filler material are then heated to a predefined joining temperature by at least one first frictional element that moves in relation to the edge regions and the filler material, are subjected to a certain contact pressure, and are joined while being deformed.

The invention relates to a method for the autogenous processing of metals, in which a hydrogen as a fuel gas from a fuel gas source and oxygen as an oxidising agent from an oxidising agent source are brought together in a processing tool and a flame used to process a workpiece is generated in front of an opening in the processing tool, characterised in that a combustible carbon-containing additive gas is added to the fuel gas in the processing tool, which is burned together with oxygen in a luminous flame.
