Welding (steel and stainless steel)

Our main focus is in the area of steel welding. Steel as used in construction is generally tube steel in the form of rectangular pipes, round pipes, and oval pipes, in bright steel or untreated steel (black steel).

Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) and metal active gas welding (MAG) with direct current is carried out both by hand and by robots from Reis-Robotics. The advantages of MAG welding are its high processing speed, low distortion, and high weld seam strength. In this method the electric arc burns between the melting wire electrode and the workpiece. The electrode is surrounded by a gas which protects the process from the air and helps forms the weld slag.

In TIG welding too an electric arc burns between electrode and workpiece. However the welding wire is fed manually and there is no splatter and no weld slag. This method is more complicated and takes more time than MAG welding. Very even and thin welding seams can be produced.

Both methods are very suitable for welding thin-walled pipes and thin steel plate.
