1、Process Introduction | What problems can argon arc welding solve?
Ultra high weld quality: Inert argon gas full protection, no splashing, no porosity, first pass rate ≥ 99%, radiographic inspection grade I film rate ≥ 98%
Extremely thin plate weldable: current lower limit of 5 A, wall thickness of 0.3 mm, stainless steel pipe butt joint without burning through, deformation ≤ 0.1 mm
High aesthetic appeal: The fish scale pattern on the weld seam is uniform, with Ra ≤ 1.6 µ m, and can be directly brushed or electropolished without the need for polishing
All position welding: Six axis robot+swinging mechanism, realizing circumferential seam, vertical welding, upward welding, and narrow gap internal welding
Full material coverage: carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, copper, nickel based alloys, dissimilar metals (steel aluminum, copper stainless steel)
