Welding: United States
built 638 days ago
[One] common process, explosion welding, involves the joining of materials by pushing them together under extremely high pressure. The energy from the impact plasticizes the materials, forming a weld, even though only a limited amount of heat is generated. The process is commonly used for welding dissimilar materials, such as the welding of aluminum with steel in ship hulls or compound plates. Other solid-state welding processes include co-extrusion welding, cold welding, diffusion welding, friction welding (including friction stir welding), high frequency welding, hot pressure welding, induction welding, and roll welding.[25]

"Recent developments in welding-rod cases in three state courts suggest that the demise of this litigation is not imminent, despite an Ohio hearing set for this week on whether to sanction plaintiffs' counsel for filing two allegedly questionable federal cases. Plaintiffs' verdicts were recently upheld by intermediate appellate courts in Illinois and New York, and the Maryland high court was the first to hold that an insurer's pollution exclusion does not shield it from a duty to defend and indemnify a welding-rod defendant. About 10,000 such cases are pending in state and federal courts nationwide." Peter Geier, National Law Journal, 2/13/06

The welding measurement software is straight forward and intuitive. A description of each part and its acceptance criteria are input into a simple form. When a part is ready for welding control, it is selected from a dropdown list and its parameters automatically loaded. Once measured, data from the selected part is stored and becomes immediately available for a report or future statistical analysis

The welding defendants issued an updated report on the current status of the welding litigation which outlines why they believe this litigation is fading fast. The judge overseeing the MDL dismissed over 1,600 cases for failure to prosecute in May 2006.
