Welding Titanium Using Micro-TIG Welding: Minimal Distortion and No Color Changes
Welding titanium with the Lampert Micro Arc Welder: silvery, oxide-free welds starting at a wall thickness of 0.1 mm. Grades 1–23, implants, sensors, research. Welding parameters, inert gas hygiene, practical tips.
Glossary of Micro-Pulse Welding: Key Terms Explained
The most important technical terms related to micro-pulse welding, explained briefly and clearly: methods, processes, parameters, materials, and applications, from the manufacturer Lampert.
Welding Copper Using Micro-TIG Welding
Copper dissipates heat faster than almost any other structural metal and oxidizes easily. This traditionally makes it difficult to weld. How pulsed micro-TIG welding with the Lampert Micro Arc Welder delivers the concentrated heat input that is essential for Cu-OF, Cu-ETP, and CuCrZr—and where the limitations lie.
Micro-TIG, Laser, and electron beam: A comparison of precision welding processes
A fact-based comparison of micro-TIG, laser, and electron beam welding: How hhese three precision welding processes differ in terms of heat input, penetration depth, vacuum requirements, disortion, investment, materials, and typical applications. Includes comparison tables and decision-making guidance.
Welding platinum capsules: hermetic seals in the laboratory
Platinum capsules are hermetically sealed without altering the sample. Micro-pulse welding with the Lampert Micro Arc Welder produces tight seams, minimal heat input, and reproducible results on thin-walled laboratory and high-pressure research capsules.

Welding Inconel 600, 625, 718, Hastelloy, and Monel: Weldability based on hardening mechanisms, the gamma-phase boundary at Al + 0.5 × Ti of approximately 3 wt-%, four types of hot cracks, and how micro-pulse welding contributes to each crack type. Includes a parameter table, practical tips, and FAQs.
Hermetic welding with micro-TIG (Hermetic Sealing)
Gas-, liquid-, and vacuum-tight seals for capsules, sensor housings, and implants. Micro-TIG welding with the Lampert Micro Arc Welder: tight seams, minimal heat input, and validatable via helium leak testing.
