Online presence can be very difficult to achieve particularly to get relevant traffic from the search engines, Google, Yahoo, Live etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google currently dominates online search with almost 70% of the traffic, so it would be worthwhile focussing your efforts on Google search. Then the question is, what are the welding keywords that are being searched. I have found Google Trends as a useful tool to show some of this. Some of the leading keywords in welding are welding jobs, welding supplies, welding schools, welding equipment, welding symbols etc. Click the link below to see relative traffic for these keywords and how they stack up from different regions in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22welding+jobs%22,+%22welding+supplies%22,+%22welding+symbols%22,+%22welding+school%22,+%22welding+equipment%22&amp;amp;date=all&amp;amp;geo=all&amp;amp;ctab=0&amp;amp;sort=0&amp;amp;sa=N"&gt;http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22welding+jobs%22,+%22welding+supplies%22,+%22welding+symbols%22,+%22welding+school%22,+%22welding+equipment%22&amp;amp;date=all&amp;amp;geo=all&amp;amp;ctab=0&amp;amp;sort=0&amp;amp;sa=N&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you know, to get any reasonable amount of traffic from Google, your website has to appear in the first page (top 10) of the searches. Google also provides Adwords, where you can purchase ads on welding websites (that participate in the Google advertising program) for reasonable rates per click. Again, it depends on your advertising budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have operated &lt;a href="http://www.weldingjobs.com/"&gt;http://www.weldingjobs.com/&lt;/a&gt; since 1999 and can tell you from experience that it is very important to get the right Domain Name for your product or service. This helps immensely in being ranked in the first page or not.

(photo courtesy KUKA). The process has several advantages compared to other competing technologies mainly:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- High Welding Speeds&lt;br /&gt;- Small bead and low distortion compared to friction welding or arc welding&lt;br /&gt;- Relatively small forging forces compared to friction welding&lt;br /&gt;- No moving parts or moving arc by magnetic field around the tube&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The process has niche application and hence there are not too many equipment makers. The major supplier is &lt;a href="http://www.kuka-systems.de/de/branches/technologies/magnetarc/"&gt;KUKA&lt;/a&gt; and another smaller supplier is &lt;a href="http://website.lineone.net/~diverse/layer3/miabw.htm"&gt;Diverse&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache:2Pfu5yN69qUJ:website.lineone.net/~diverse/literatu/miablit.pdf+miab+welding&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;cd=3&amp;amp;gl=us"&gt;See equipment details&lt;/a&gt;.

Obviously times are tough right now and advertising budgets are under pressue. To get the most value for your money you should be looking for the best ROI (Return on Investment) in advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small businesses and large should be looking for ways to advertise online and look for welding industry websites that are serving the community. Advertising either placing Text Links or Banner Ads are common methods to bring in traffic to your website. Websites are selling their ad space for such advertising (&lt;a href="http://weldingjobs.com/"&gt;WeldingJobs.com&lt;/a&gt;). Also, you can look at &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/adwords.google.com"&gt;Google Adwords &lt;/a&gt;where you could target specific keywords that are relevant to your welding business. Google would place your text and banner ads on welding related websites and you pay for every click on your ad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time is now, for advertising online if you haven't done it yet.

What should be interesting for folks is that there is a heck a lot welding in batteries. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_foGb_ORGoaU/SPSzzxaQT-I/AAAAAAAAAAo/CF1Fin0CRr0/s1600-h/ovonic.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_foGb_ORGoaU/SPSzzxaQT-I/AAAAAAAAAAo/CF1Fin0CRr0/s320/ovonic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257024367066370018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had the opportunity to work on Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh)battery manufacturing and was involved in developing and implementing some of the welding processes. The materials involved are exotic such as Nickel foam, Nickel Wire Mesh, Copper and welding becomes a challenge due to the sheer limitations of the components involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you weld Nickel sheet electrodes to Nickel Foam (spongy) using resistance welding? Typical resistance welding (AC) works quite well except its a challenge to ensure contact between tips and parts. Our goal was to be able to achieve good electrical conductivity and maintain suffient pull and peel strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welding nickel leads to copper terminals in the battery was challenging until laser welding came about. The leads were quite thick and the laser was the best option to get enough penetration and produce a weld with the copper terminal. Ni and Cu do not produce any intermetallics and hence the welds very sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, the sheer volume of electrodes in a battery cell is large and it is an interesting challege for welding engineers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7263180372706688111-3423038524621591243?l=weldingblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://weldingblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/welding-in-battery-mfg-nimh-nickel.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Suresh)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_foGb_ORGoaU/SPSzzxaQT-I/AAAAAAAAAAo/CF1Fin0CRr0/s72-c/ovonic.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263180372706688111.post-8612894706320844595</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-14T11:05:09.944-04:00</atom:updated><title>Magnetic Pulse Welding (MPW)</title><description>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_foGb_ORGoaU/SPS1BiH0TLI/AAAAAAAAAAw/kW-vHrf8l70/s1600-h/Welding_diagram.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_foGb_ORGoaU/SPS1BiH0TLI/AAAAAAAAAAw/kW-vHrf8l70/s320/Welding_diagram.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257025702992301234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Coutesy from Pulsar.co.il)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my years as an advanced technology engineer, had the opportunity to work on magnetic pulse welding development. We were doing a thorough research on this technology to understand its capabilities and limitations for tubular applications. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magnetic Pulse Welding is very similar to Magnetic Pulse Forming, expect the process occurs much quicker in welding. Forming is typically in hundreds of microseconds versus welding is in tens of microseconds and this is the challenge for equipment makers. Forming has been done and there are a few equipment makers for large aluminum tubular components but welding is still a relatively new area. The limitation is the equipment, coil design and the ability to handle large currents through cable connections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magnetic Pulse Welding technology can also be applied for dissimilar metals such as aluminum to steel and we were succesful in testing such components. However, when you weld dissimilar metals, there is always the issue of galvanic corrosion and intermetallics that you need to pay attention to that could affect structural properties depending on the application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some websites with more information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://files.aws.org/wj/supplement/wj0507-119.pdf"&gt;MPW Research&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pulsar.co.il/technology/?did=16"&gt;Pulsar, Israel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.magneform.com/"&gt;Maxwell Magneform, USA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7263180372706688111-8612894706320844595?l=weldingblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://weldingblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/magnetic-pulse-welding-mpw.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Suresh)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_foGb_ORGoaU/SPS1BiH0TLI/AAAAAAAAAAw/kW-vHrf8l70/s72-c/Welding_diagram.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263180372706688111.post-5862422823530075453</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Oct 2008 16:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-04T12:38:20.022-04:00</atom:updated><title>What's new in Welding?</title><description>I have been in welding engineering for a while but also have been out of it for the last few years. We know there are new developments all the time in Arc Weldiing, Spot Welding and Laser Welding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specifically, Laser Welding has been a very hot field (pardon the pun) with a  lot of new activities such as Diode Lasers, Fiber Lasers and Laser/MIG hybrids etc. Diode lasers were very interesting but the power density was not quite there to handle welding. Fiber lasers were very attractive due to small package but again the power density was still a question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out these laser sites for more information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.trumpf.com"&gt;Trumpf.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rofin-sinar.com"&gt;Rofin Sinar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fraunhofer.org"&gt;Fraunhofer USA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post your comments if you are using lasers in welding.
