When welding titanium, stainless steel and other reactive metal pipework and sheet metalwork, it is important to prevent the welds from oxidising or coming into contact with any air during their welding and cooling periods. Trailing Shields®, designed and manufactured by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® ensure the weld stays under a protective argon gas coverage, while the hot weld metal is cooling, preventing it from oxidising on contact with air. Photo courtesy of Trailing Shields Titanium and stainless steels are chosen for their corrosion resistant properties and if they are allowed to oxidise during the weld cycle, expensive post welding cleaning techniques are required. Trailing Shield® helps to avoid oxidation and expensive cleaning process. Georgia Gascoyne, CEO at Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® said: “Our range of Trailing Shields® are available in flat format for sheet metal welding or in curved format for welding circular items like tubes, pipes and tanks.

ArcelorMittal declared a USD 11.1M investment into its premier tubular facility in Monterrey, Mexico, to enhance product capabilities for the North American automotive market. The investment will be used for the construction of an additional world-class tube mill and addition of downstream value-add processing equipment, which will allow the facility to supply high-quality straight and formed tubes for use in the production of automotive seating and head rest applications.

Inert gas purging is vital when welding metal tubes made from titanium, as well as ultra-high purity stainless steel joints and just as important when welding those less critical stainless steel and copper nickel pipe joints, in order to achieve non-oxidized, zero color welds. PurgExtra™ is the latest weld purging product released by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® for the purging of tube and pipe joints from 1 to 24” diameter.
