Stainless Steels and their Corrosion Resistant Properties

Stainless steels are often the choice of alloy because of their corrosion resistance and strength. They are some of the most durable of metals. Many industries, including the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, petrochemical and nuclear sectors rely on their corrosion resistance since even minimal product contamination of the product is unacceptable.    How to avoid […]

Avoiding loss of corrosion Many industries rely on the corrosion resistance of stainless steels including the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, petrochemical and nuclear. It has become common practice in some applications to accept discolouration and remove it post-welding, but this can be very expensive. It is time-consuming and, where access is limited, difficult to achieve […]

Oxygen Weld Monitors not sufficient for Purging

Oxygen Weld Monitors not sufficient for Purging, opt for a Weld Purge Monitor ® instead For years now, companies have been using relatively low cost oxygen weld monitors and gas analysers for weld purging. Such monitors are designed and calibrated for accuracy at atmospheric oxygen level. Whereas for weld purging the accuracy needs to be […]

Comment of Dylan Thomas, the welder

Many of you will know of Dylan Thomas the great Welsh Poet and writer. On this occasion, one of his namesakes has written to me. Not Thomas the Poet, but Thomas the Welder! On 01/03/15 3:27 PM, Dylan Thomas wrote: Hi Ron, I'm working on a new build power station, there will be plenty of […]

Technical Paper - Innovation in Weld Protection

Technical Paper 1060 was released July 16. The title is "Innovation in Weld Protection", written by Dr M J Fletcher of Delta Consultants Ltd. The paper discusses various methods for protecting welds during welding, to ensure that oxidation or slag formation, does not occur. This Technical Paper will be submitted to the press for publication, […]

WP-44 Avoiding loss of corrosion resistance when welding stainless steels

Many people don't consider the high costs of maintaining corrosion resistance when welding. Companies accept that the grinding, polishing and pickling processes are part of the necessary processing costs to achieve the high standards. Dr Mike Fletcher shows, in his White Paper WP-44 "Avoiding loss of corrosion resistance when welding stainless steels" how all of […]
