Arc welding
Arc welding and the procedures typically involved are often used in industry due to the wide range of welding tools and power sources from major manufacturers.
Research projects
Current research projects
- Investigation and further development of arc welding using compressed air towards cutting pollutant emissions
- High-butt weld – load capacity of butt welds on high-strength steel in steel construction
- Welding cladded plates and hardfacing shaped around the joint seam
- Welding on hollow sections with widened joint seams
Services
- Research projects (publicly funded)
