Reduce welding costs with Elga Ceramic Backing
 |
Elga Ceramic Backing is used to provide root pass support when welding from one side only and is an extremely effective way to rationalise welding procedures and reduce production costs. Welding of root passes is normally the most critical part of the weld and hence the most costly. By using Elga ceramic backing, you can reduce production costs substantially. |

Benefits
Reduced production costs:
-
Eliminates the need for back-gouging, grinding and rewelding operations on the reverse side.
-
Significant savings in costs associated with turning large and heavy plates or structures in order to weld the second side in the flat position.
-
Increased productivity when welding root runs in position 1G/PA, 2G/PC and 3G/PF.
-
Simpler joint preparation and reduced set-up time because tolerances for the root gap are greater.
-
Use of higher welding currents, which means higher deposition rates and increased productivity.
Quality improvements:
-
Smooth, even root bead with slightly convex profile and excellent blend-in with base material.
-
The ceramic material does not emit fumes and contains no moisture. Ideal for low-hydrogen applications.
-
When welding in enclosed spaces the working environment is not polluted by fumes from arc-air gouging, grinding and rewelding operations.
