Welding is essential in building things that trap a lot of pressure, such as pressure vessels.” Welding is the process of bonding together materials with the application of heat and pressure. At Changzhou Lemeng, we constantly look for newer ways of welding to produce stronger and more secure pressure vessels.
We have a new method of welding we use, it’s called friction stir welding. This technique employs a rotating tool that whips around the joint of two materials. The rotating tool generates heat through friction, and that heat softens the materials and causes them to adhere to each other. This creates a very strong weld that is difficult to crack.
Another really neat welding technology that we use is laser welding. Its use involves concentrating a beam of light to melt the materials. Laser welding is extremely precise and also makes clean welds which is excellent for pressure vessel construction. And there is also very little change to the materials, so the pressure vessels that we produce are of high quality.
Grapphite is the New Welding Technology for Pressure Vessel Production
In the recent past, new and exciting developments in welding technology have emerged that assist us in being able to construct a pressure vessel better. Some of these changes involve the use of robot welding cells. These machines are designed to weld very accurately, and this is what allows us to maintain a consistent quality throughout all our pressure vessels. Robots can help us build more ships faster and with fewer errors.
Another relatively new welding technique that can be used for pressure vessels is electron-beam welding. It’s a way of using a stream of electrons to flash-melt the materials together. Electron beam welding can achieve very strong welds and penetrates deeply into the materials, so the weld is of very high quality.
Maintaining Safety and Quality in welding of Pressure Vessel
We at Changzhou Lemeng place a great deal of importance on safety and quality during the welding of pressure vessels. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure that our welding performs at a high level of safety and quality.
We also maintain a high level of safety by training our welders about welding practices and safety procedures. As long as our team be equipped with relevant knowledge and skills, we can prevent accidents from happening in our work environment.
Quality-wise we pay great attention to our weldings, we scrutinize them very carefully to not make mistakes. We deploy sophisticated tests — ultrasonic testing, X-ray examination — to detect any deficiencies in the welds. And, we maintain strict material and workmanship policies to ensure that we produce nothing short of stellar pressure vessels.
Finding New Welding Technologies in Pressure Vessel Fabrication
We continue forward as technology is advancing What new developments for welding as a process can we now apply for pressure vessel fabrication? One of the most interesting recent advancements is 3D printing in welding. This new technology allows for the production of complex designs that are difficult to manufacture through regular welding. 3D printing also limits the amount of wasted material, and in turn reduces the amount of time it takes to create, and therefore, it is an excellent option for making a pressure vessel.
Another new technique we’re experimenting with is underwater welding. This special process allows us to weld pressure vessels underwater, so as on offshore oil rigs. We can also repair and maintain pressure vessels (without de-watering) using underwater welding, thus reducing time and costs involved in doing so.
In short, new welding methods have transformed how we fabricate pressure vessels, constructing safer, stronger and more efficient vessels in the process. We are committed at Changzhou Lemeng to utilize the finest welding technology to produce our top-of-the-line pressure vessels. By focusing on fresh concepts and fine craftsmanship, we have produced the next generation of pressure vessels.
