  • Fabrication

    Purpose To create component parts that can be used to make a product or structure in a standardized way. Method It can include layout, measuring, cutting, grinding, fitting, tack welding. Benefits Fabrication can help speed up the manufacturing process, reduce costs, lower material usage, and offer repeatability. Application Fabrication is a process leading to boundless…

  • PWHT (Post Weld Heat Treatment)

    Objective To reduce residual stresses, unwanted grain structure and hardnesses in welded parts with heat. Method Controls baking of metal parts, where the temperature of the part is slowly increased, soaked at a high temperature and slowly cooled down in a controlled manner. Benefits Minimizes the risk of cracking, corrosion, improves ductility and improves overall…

  • WPS Development (Welding Procedure Specification)

    Significance Qualifies the parameters, variables, and controls for welding in production. Involves Defining welding parameters, materials, and quality control measures through research and development. Purpose Ensures consistency and weld quality across different projects and production parts. Necessity Vital for maintaining welding standards and meeting industry requirements. Necessary when welding to most codes or customer requirements.

  • Pipe Cladding

    Objective Pipe Cladding shields the interior of pipes from flowing chemicals for several yards or meters-worth of pipe joint. In service, it can be dozens of feet long or dozens of miles, depending on the application. Method GTAW Hot Wire Welds the inside of a pipe, often for its full length, end-to-end. Benefits Improves the…

  • Bore Cladding

    Purpose Bore Cladding of interior flow features, like the bore of a large valve, elbow, weldneck flange or block. Method GTAW-P Hotwire is welded inside the bore to create a protective layer throughout. In industry, this is commonly called HH trim. Benefits Protects against abrasion and corrosion caused by severe chemicals, extending the life of…

  • Overlay

    Objective Imrpvoes the overall surface of a metal component on the outside of it or at either end. Method GTAW-P Hotwire is welded on the outside of a metal part, permanently sealing machined features like hydraulic flowlines, electrical ports, male-end connections and autoclave ports. Benefits Ideal for making corrosion resistant and leak-proof seals for sensors,…

  • Inlay

    Purpose Inlay adds a protective layer to a pocket cut into a metal object, especially for o-ring seals like a ring groove or raised-face flange. Method GTAW-P Hotwire is welded inside a ring groove or sealing surface to create a protective layer for a connection. In industry, this is commonly called EE trim. Benefits Creates…
