Welding

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, mostly metals, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion. It is a widely used technique in the fabrication of equipment such as tubes or heat exchangers. Below you can find the latest newsitems that involve the topic of welding.

Get ready for Heat Exchanger World Americas 2020

Taking place on December 9th and 10th, 2020, at the Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria, the Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference & Expo 2020 will bring together end users, EPCs, distributors, suppliers and manufacturers to showcase the newest heat transfer technologies, address key issues, and bring about increased safety to operators.

Oxygen Monitors for titanium welding in aerospace

The innovative PurgEye® Desk, a new monitor designed and manufactured by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®, is leading the way in inert gas weld purging technology by reading oxygen levels from 1,000 ppm, right down to levels as low as 1ppm (highly accurate to 10 ppm), ensuring welders achieve perfect oxide free, zero colour welds time and time again.

Improving weld purging quality

With the ever-increasing activities in such industries as the Nuclear, Oil and Gas and Engineering, there is a large volume of stainless steel, zirconium and titanium pipework that will need to be welded to a very high standard.

Tungsten Electrodes from HFT

When it comes to TIG welding, Tungsten Electrodes are the most important part of the application. A properly ground Tungsten Electrode will help to improve arc starting and stability, giving an overall better performance.

Expand your network at Managing Aging Plants 2020

In recent years, the need for industrial sectors within North, South, and Central America to manage and maintain aging plants and refineries has become an essential point of discussion in order to achieve plant efficiency and safety.

HFT’s weld purging with preheat

In the power generation and nuclear industry, low and medium alloy steels such as SA 213 T91 and SA 335 P91 are chosen for their high strength, but are often prone to cracking during welding.

The HFT® Weld Purge Oxygen Monitor

Weld Purging is the act of removing oxygen from the vicinity of a weld, before, during and after welding reactive metals by displacing the oxygen with an inert gas (usually argon).

HFT’s PurgElite® tandem pipe purging system

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® design and manufacture PurgElite®, a range of low cost Tube and Pipe Purging Systems that help to achieve a clean, oxide free, zero color weld in just minutes, available from 1” (25 mm).

MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes eliminate health risks

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®’s blue-tipped MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes contain a mix of non-radioactive rare earth elements, eliminating the risk to health posed by radio-toxic thoriated Tungsten Electrodes, whilst maintaining a high performing Tungsten Electrode.

Finding a low cost alternative to metal glove boxes

There is an ever-increasing demand in industries such as aerospace, medical and motorsport, for high quality welded titanium components.
