William Hughes is using plasma
welding processes to manufacture a
variety of wire products for
industries ranging from consumer
electrical goods to automotive.
The semi-automatic plasma
welding process is used by the
company to join round phosphor
bronze or stainless steel wire, making
2D or 3D forms. Hexagonal wire can
also be processed if required.
Almost any diameter (including very small sizes) can be accommodated - only a change of clamping plates is needed. In terms of wire diameter, this is typically 0.75 or 0.9mm.
A rigorous failure test mechanism is in place to ensure that high quality plasma-welded parts are always supplied.
