Alushield Heavy
Quick Overview
Applications
- Aluminium casings
- Ship building and armoured vehicles
- Heavy aluminium fabrication
- Road and rail transport
- Chemical and petrochemical plants
- Copper and aluminium busbars
Description
Benefits
- Produces a flat bead shape with low levels of reinforcement, less clean-up and lower defects
- Can reduce or eliminate the need for preheating due to the increased energy transfer across the welding arc. This is achieved due to the increased helium content producing a focused arc
- Increased welding speeds and lower distortion, whilst maintaining good fusion profiles
- The fluid weld minimises porosity and other defects
- Greater thermal efficiency when used in TIG, MIG and plasma welding copper alloys. Flatter welds with less reinforcement are also produced
