Welding Stainless Steels and Corrosion Resistant Alloys: An Interview with Lincoln Electric’s Mike Barrett
Lincoln Electric is the global manufacturer of welding, cutting and joining products on today’s market. Stainless Steel World Americas travelled to the company’s headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio to speak with Mike Barrett, the stainless, nickel and cobalt expert from the Application Engineering Department. He shared with us his experience working with stainless steels and other corrosion resistant alloys.
The different types of stainless steel used for combined heat and power plants
The trend away from large coal fired power generation stations will substantially reduce the markets for many stainless steel products. However, despite this, one of the fastest growing sources of energy will be combined heat and power plants. This technology will result in stainless steel product purchases to partially offset the reductions in purchases for central stations.
