Flying high with orbital welding
- By Steve Purnell
- Mar 11, 2004
- Tube and Pipe Fabrication
- Article
Orbital welding first was developed in the late 1960s by a group of engineers from McDonnell Douglas to join aerospace tubes. These engineers were aware of the problems associated with producing repeatable welds for their critical applications.
Assessing developments in orbital welding—Part 2

- Tube and Pipe Fabrication
- Article
Orbital welding's advantages in productivity, quality, consistency, tracability, and skill level required are the driving factors behind its growth. Advances such as oxygen analyzers that prevent the weld cycle from starting until oxygen is properly purged, combined with its ability to generate a written report of each weld, form the basis for orbital welding's improved quality and tracability.
