Pipeline with stainless steel cladding

Understanding the Basics of the Stainless Steel Cladding Process

By Orbital Welding, Pipe Welding No Comments

Cladding can enhance a metal’s corrosion-resistant properties. The process involves the deposition of a corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) layer over a base metal with weaker properties. The most common CRA is stainless steel. Along with its corrosion-resistant properties, stainless steel also offers the benefits of increased strength, temperature resistance, and cost-efficiency.  …

Welding Processes Used in Large Diameter Pipe Welding

By Orbital Welding, Pipe Welding No Comments

Pipeline safety has been a perennial concern for industries and technicians. Most pipeline damages result from issues like corrosion, incorrect handling, material, and weld failure. With large diameter pipes—especially as the large diameters pipes are used for critical oil or water transportation over a long distance—these damages are more likely. …
