Tape gets backing
January 1st 2010 Huntingdon Fusion Techniques has
published a four-page leaflet about
Weld Backing Tape. The product is
placed on the backside of a weld to
help save costs. Three different
grades are available to permit arc
welding up to 240A.
The benefits of using a backing
tape include negating the need to
manufacture expensive backing bars
and to manipulate them in tight
spaces, and reduced requirement for
post weld dressing and cleaning.
The weld is cast flat on to the glass
fibre weave, eliminating drop
through and icicles, while slag and
massive oxidation are also
eliminated. Simple to use, the
material can be effectively worked
with by lower skilled welding
personnel. More articles from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Ltd: |
