Casting upgrade welding

Casting upgrade welding – requirements, techniques and concepts

The world of fusion welding has effected many industries and fabrication opportunities worldwide. Countless industrial items are assembled using a vast number of different welding techniques governed by numerous rules, codes and norms. Casting upgrade welding is a very specialised series of operations. The casting process offers a unique opportunity as the casting is an economic preform. Weld upgrade is inherent to the process.
Denny Hulme won for McLaren and Jackie Oliver brought the Ti22 MKII in at second place in its first race only 1.2 seconds behind and it produced the fastest lap in the race

Titanium in motor sport

With the progressive development of racing cars has come a need to embrace fusion welding as an essential part of the manufacturing process. Whilst dramatic improvements in engine design have made a significant contribution to track performance, reductions in weight and aerodynamic refinements have also been important. Safety conventions need to be continuously revised to protect drivers in the event of accidents.
