Welds on process pipework shine bright!
When welding stainless steels, reactive alloys, nickel alloys, nimonics and titanium, in the process industries, it is possible now to keep the welds clean, while welding quite inexpensively
When welding stainless steels, reactive alloys, nickel alloys, Nimonics and titanium, in the process industries, it is possible now to keep the welds clean, while welding quite inexpensively By adding a low cost lightweight component called a 'Trailing Shield' to a TIG or plasma welding torch the weld stays under a protective argon gas shroud, while the hot metal is cooling, so that the it does not oxidize because of contact with air
'Trailing Shields' are available for flat sheet or plate welding and they are also supplied with any radius to suit any diameter of pipe, vessel or tank etc.
Replaceable silicon rubber seals are used on the sides of the Trailing Shields to prevent the shield gas from escaping.
Each shield is delivered with variable size connector so that it can fit any size of TIG or plasma weld torch whether for manual or mechanised welding. Request a free brochure from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques ...
