Case Study: Orbital Welding in Aerospace Manufacturing
Introduction
It is very difficult to achieve the desired quality and safety in the aerospace industry. When it comes to creating aircraft, satellites, or any spacecraft, each component that goes into making it has to demonstrate best performance under the harshest possible environment that can or will be imagined. Welding in aerospace applications have been revolutionized by orbital welding that has become the preferred technology within the relevant industry. In this case study, the reader will learn about the condition that aerospace industries use orbital welding to achieve the quality and safety desired.
What is Orbital Welding?
Orbital welding is an uncontrolled process of welding which uses an inert gas torch that does not come in contact with the item, and moves along the circular path as predetermined. In automatic welding, a mechanism which may be manually or computer...
