Exploration • Drilling • Field Services
especially within the research of new procedures and materials for corrosion protection. Significant outlay is made at Welding Alloys to continuously develop and review products and procedures in order to provide the best solution available. Torough testing and assessment has played a vital and key role in the advancement of corrosion resistance through cladding with extensive R&D being carried out by Welding Alloys on both its control systems and machines.
Field tests Welding Alloys can report that through metallurgical and field tests, the valves and pipes clad utilising their specialised control technology and precision mechanics showed that after extensive use, no significant corrosion damage had occurred. Welding Alloys reports that its control system significantly increases the accuracy of its weld deposits minimising weld defects and rework found in more traditional manual or basic hot wire TIG operations, proving to be an additional USP for their product range.
Welding wires Welding Alloys Group manufactures a wide range of flux cored and metal cored welding wires - low, mid and high alloy hard-facing, mild steel fabrication, stainless steel, nickel base, cobalt base - all in
diameters ranging from 0.9mm to 5mm, using our own manufacturing technology. Te company also manufactures a range of aluminium welding wires and have now added a range of manual electrodes to complete their consumables offering. Additionally, it makes custom-designed modular
welding equipment, including semi-automatic wire feeders, portable automated machines for in-situ work and fully automated machines including component manipulation with robotic controls. Since 1974, Welding Alloys has manufactured and installed machines, providing operator-training to customers in more than 45 countries. Complementary to the company’s product manufacturing, its Integra division specialises in providing welding services using its own materials for the hard-facing and cladding of components worn in service. Te company’s knowledge of service conditions of worn components enables it to recommend the appropriate welding method and welding materials to provide exceptional component service life, always exceeding the original performance. ●
