Welding Repairs Getting It Right the First Time

Welding Repairs Getting It Right the First Time

Fixing defects demands careful planning and expert execution

Welding with MIG gun

Welding repairs often involve higher
stakes than original fabrication. The
pressure is greater, the conditions
are more challenging, and the consequences of
failure are more severe. Once a critical weld is
compromised, the risks increase significantly:
What was critical becomes supercritical, the
margin for error narrows, and the cost of
failure multiplies. A failure in a newly fabricated
pressure vessel might be inconvenient, but a
failure in a repaired pressure vessel already in
service could be catastrophic…

Weld Smarter, Not Harder With Welding Automation Technologies

Technology enhancements optimize and advance automated welding performance.

The skilled labor shortage is not a new concern within the welding industry. While efforts are being made to attract new talent, those who join still need ample time to learn and truly refine their skills. Because of shortages and the lengthy on-ramps for newer welders, some operations may still be behind in meeting the demands of their business and struggling with weld quality and consistency issues…
