A fuel cell is an electro chemical energy conversion device, which produces electricity from external supplies of fuel (on the anode side) and oxidant (on the cathode side). These react in the presence of an electrolyte to produce energy.
Since a typical fuel cell produces less than one volt, in practical application cells are ’stacked’ in […]

A brief listing of advantages provided by pulsed MIG welding (GMAW-P) usually encourages welding technicians to see if this technology may be appropriate for their application:
All position welding with spray-like transfer
Travel speeds increase up to 35% over short circuit transfer
Ability to fine tune arc wave form
Significantly reduced spatter compared to short […]
Resistance welding is one of the oldest of the electric welding processes in use by industry today. The weld is made by a combination of heat, pressure and time. As the name resistance welding implies, it is the resistance of the material to welded, to current flow that causes a localized heating in the part.
The […]
