Abstract: A mobile welding system that does not rely exclusively on a track to define the path of the welder. One embodiment includes a mobile welder adapted to move along a work piece. The mobile welder includes a chassis, including a welding implement, and a travel assembly configured to support the chassis over a portion of the work piece. The mobile welder also includes a motor assembly configured to selectively cause the chassis to move relative to the work piece. The mobile welder further includes a chassis holder, having a magnet assembly, configured to provide a force holding the chassis a selected distance from the work piece. The magnet assembly includes a magnet rotatably mounted between a ferrous material and a non-ferrous material to selectively control application of a magnetic field toward the work piece.

Abstract: The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method for detecting a moisture with a flux used in a welding process. A sensor is employed with a flux source that supplies a welding operation or process in which the sensor detects a moisture level with a flux within the flux source. A monitor component is configured to receive or aggregate data from the sensor, wherein the data relates to the moisture level associated with a flux supply or a portion of flux.

Abstract: In a laser cladding, a diamond particulate is applied to the base material of an article that has been melted by an energy source such as a laser. The particulates are introduced into the molten material and allowed to settle as the article surface cools and solidifies. The diamond particulates function to increase the wear resistant characteristics of the article. In one embodiment, the diamond particulates are covered with a metallic veneer, which may be tungsten.

Abstract: A spout for providing a flow of water in the form of a sheet is disclosed. Water from a supply pipe is diverted orthogonally in two directions as it enters a reservoir inside the spout. Water pooled in the reservoir spills over a weir to form a sheet-shaped flow stream as it flows down the weir. The weir has a raised center section which helps define a flow chamber to promote and develop a stream which maintains a sheet shape even relatively great distances from the spout.
