[safetydave]

Hey guys I work with this guy at my job and he's been asking me if i've done this typ or heard of it i think its called flowneous (sp) welding i told him that i really haven't heard or delt with that type so i couldn't give him any tips on what to do but did tell him i would check it out then let him know what would be good for what he wants to do, so if any body has or knows what the heck i'm wanting please let me in on this info

coalescence is created by the heat in resistance welding and sometimes referred to as "coalescence welding". Perhaps your friend may have heard something that sounded like "flowneous" but was actually coalescence?
I have never heard of "Flowneous". But that doesn't mean I'm right. Just a thought?

Dave, I never heard of it either and Im not near the expert that some of these guys are.

I did a search though and found a web site with the AWS welding chart. There is nothing mentioned about it on there. Maybe he could give you more info on it as to what it is used for or how it is done.

Here is the web site.

i'm not sure if this guy was straight up with info or not so i thought i would drop a line to you guys and see what comes up so i'm really not sure if he even knows what he talking about either but i'll ask him more info when we get back to work tomorrow but when he talks about it he sounds like he knows all the correct terms and tech stuff, but so do some other people that think they know all there is about welding and come to find out don't know JACK CRAP!! so this is why i'm asking you guys and i'll keep looking for some answers myself

Hi shadetree,I know what your talking about and no that is not it but we do have one of these machines at our work place and they are VERY $$$$ I suppose because the are I think made in Germany also they are all the latest high-tech gadgits of welding machines, the one we have only a very few of the guys can use it do to the training you need to run the darn thing.
So no thats not the correct answer I was looking for acccording to the judges keep looking guys someones got to know what it is?
