Why use X-ray welding for Stainless Steel EFW Pipes?
Mcneil Instrument, a renowned name in the manufacturing of stainless steel and other metallic pipes, employs various techniques for pipe fabrication, including hot rolling, cold drawing, electric resistance welding, and electric fusion welding (EFW). Among these methods, EFW stands out, particularly with the integration of X-ray welding technology.
X-ray welding, a relatively recent advancement in EFW, offers distinct advantages despite requiring specialized conditions and higher room standards. Despite the increased cost, X-ray welding provides precise focus on smaller spots, facilitating faster metal melting. This precision minimizes the affected zone, thereby preserving the mechanical properties of the material. Unlike conventional EFW methods, which may cause slight deformations in the pipes, X-ray welding ensures minimal to no deformation, eliminating the need for additional treatments such as adjustments to wall thickness, absolute roughness, or shape.
Given these benefits, Mcneil Instrument is increasingly adopting X-ray welding for its EFW pipes, ensuring superior quality and efficiency in their products.
