Flexible welding enclosures protect SS
and exotics
For the welding of Titanium as well as other metals like stainless steel, Zirconium and its alloys, a range of low cost flexible welding enclosures are easy to use.
For the welding of Titanium as well as other metals like stainless steel, Zirconium and its alloys, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Limited has developed a range of low cost, easy to use, flexible welding enclosures, so that welding can take place in an inert argon gas environment to eliminate all oxygen, hydrogen and water vapour These enclosures are intended for production as well as research and development and they are particularly successful in aerospace, racing car manufacture and nuclear related industries as well as for those manufacturing stainless steel parts where cleanliness of the final weld is important

Backing tape prevents weld failure
Backing tape used in the welding of seams or runs help to prevent weld failures and produce flat, slag-free welds requiring no grinding or backgouging.
Welding equipment maker moves to Wales
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques left its Huntingdon home on December 19 to relocate to larger premises in Burry Port in Carmarthenshire.
The enclosures are available in four standard sizes, having diameters of 900, 1200, 1500 and 1800mm.
They all come complete with two pairs of arm entries with sleeves and gloves, a zip for entry and exit of the components to be welded, an argon hose connection and a gas release valve at the top of the enclosure.
A service panel is included with glands for the welding torches and earthing leads, with spare ports for any other services that may be required inside the enclosure once it is in use.
Each enclosure has an entry port for passing small components in and out of the enclosure, while maintaining the integrity of the gas purge environment.
In use, the enclosures are so flexible, that once the work for welding has been loaded, the enclosure can be collapsed by hand around the work, expelling all air, so that the argon purging time and gas used is minimised.
For measuring the residual oxygen content in the enclosure, HFT also provides Welding Purge Monitors so that user will know when it is safe to weld. Request a free brochure from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques ...
