Managing Dangerous Dusts from Metalworking
This webinar will discuss the different types of airborne dusts produced when manufacturing assemblies using metalworking methods. We will discuss issues with poor indoor air quality, combustible dusts, and toxic dusts. We will also cover the various metalworking applications that generate airborne dust including thermal cutting (Laser and Plasma), production and fabrication welding, robotic welding and thermal spray. Last, we will explain the available filtration options to ensure safety, improve air quality in your manufacturing facility and comply with the relevant safety standards.

Energy Efficiency and HF Welding
High frequency (HF) welding is a type of electric resistance solid state welding in which metal strip edges are heated – using high frequency power (kW) applied through an induction coil – and then forged together to create a longitudinal seam weld. HF welding relies on precise weld heat input to weld advanced steel chemistries and emerging ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The focus of this webinar is to provide an understanding of energy efficiency in HF induction welding.
