Welding Chambers for welding under an inert gas coverage

Welding Chambers make it possible to weld stainless steels, titanium and other reactive alloys effectively without oxidation and discolouration. The ever-increasing demand in the Aerospace, Medical Scientific and Nuclear Industries for high-quality welded components has forced new technology for reactive metals such as titanium to be welded in a complete inert gas coverage. Flexible Welding […]

Stainless Steel Welding Colours

Good, clean stainless steel welding colours are essential. Achieving good stainless steel welding colours: Welds exhibiting such colours as blue, violet or brown may suffer reduced strength, which could lead to a loss of corrosion resistance and could be rejected at worst and cause extra, expensive cleaning operations at best. Welding stainless steel: Stainless steel […]
