Interlinking Cylinder from Stainless Steel

We manufacture interlinking cylinders for concrete plants, which are used as an indispensable element in the production of prefabricated walls.

Welding stainless steel presents special challenges for welders, as this material has high heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength, but also has a greater tendency to warp, crack, and become contaminated. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose the right welding procedure, material, and parameters for welding stainless steel.

One of the most widespread and suitable welding procedures for stainless steel is Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, which creates an arc between the tungsten electrode and the base material while the weld pool is protected by an inert gas, such as argon. This process is suitable for welding many metals, metal alloys, alloy steels, and aluminum.

Advantages of TIG Welding for Stainless Steel

• Clean, slag-free penetration

• Perfectly regular, neat seams

• No need for post-processing (cleaning, slag removal)

• Can effectively weld thin plates

• Excellent for root welding

• Can be used to excellently weld metals with high-melting-point metal oxides (e.g., aluminum)

During the welding of stainless steel, special attention must be paid to the cooling and protection of the weld seam, as this material is very sensitive to heat and oxidation. Cooling the weld too quickly or too slowly can cause cracks, so it’s important to cool the weld evenly. Oxidation reduces the corrosion resistance and aesthetic value of the weld, which is why it’s vital to protect the weld with a sufficient quantity and quality of argon gas.
