An easy way to improve your welding on heavy-gauge material.<\/h2>\n

Applications that would find ceramic weld backing advantageous include structural steel fabrication, pressure vessel manufacture, shipbuilding and pipeline seam welding.<\/p>\n

Here are 7 reasons you could benefit from using ceramic weld backing:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Get x-ray quality back beads on root pass.<\/li>\n
  2. Wider heat receptive pressure sensitive foil for improved adhesion.<\/li>\n
  3. Eradicates the need for gouging and grinding as welding can be carried out from a single side with full penetration.<\/li>\n
  4. Thus eliminating the risk of timely re-work and costly rejects.<\/li>\n
  5. Allows the use of increased welding currents as the ceramics tiles support the active weld pool.<\/li>\n
  6. Weld pool support provided by the backing also allows for increased welding speeds, decreasing arc energy and subsequently Heat Affected Zone.<\/li>\n
  7. As the root area is fully enclosed, oxidation of the weld surface is reduced, eliminating the need for post-weld cleaning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
