In the realm of metalwork and manufacturing, forging equipment is an invaluable asset that can remain in production for decades. However, the key to ensuring optimal equipment performance and longevity is implementing a systematic preventative maintenance (PM) program. In this way, forging operations can boost production, reduce downtime, and guarantee a superior return on investment (ROI). Regular preventive maintenance (PM) on forging equipment offers additional benefits.

Micro Arc Joining uses the thermal energy generated by a current arcing across an arc-gap to melt and join conductive materials together. The technology is prized for its inherent capability to join conductive and dissimilar materials without solder and is also known as Micro TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) Welding, GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), or Pulse Arc Welding.
