We work hard to provide products for varying uses, ensuring clients get something they can rely on. This is why we supply items like ERW tube that are all made to the highest standards. They always undergo strict testing to ensure that the quality is high. This also confirms the tubing is suitable for its purpose.
A good weld is essential for any kind of welded tube. If it is brittle or porous, then it is a danger in terms of safety and potential costly mistakes from failure. Our procedures for producing and testing are essential. They help us uphold our outstanding standards. As a result you can have confidence in our products.
Potential Problems
Welding requires you to take care throughout. Part of this is ensuring that the surface is clean and free of any and all impurities. This includes water, oil and more. Failing to remove them can cause porosity. Aluminium in particular needs the outside layer of oxide removing before welding can commence.
There are numerous possible issues you can run into with welding. An example is an incorrect gap or poor edge preparation resulting in short, incomplete welds. There may also be subsurface cracks, voids or cavities. These give the tube a high chance of failing through breaks and leaks.
