Manufacturing welded assemblies from sheet metal - that is our expertise. This is especially true when it comes to the most specialist and complex welding. Thanks to our specialist expertise in stainless steel, as well as elements like aluminium and nickel, our welding meets the complex standards, tolerances and other requirements that apply in high-grade industries.
Weld shrinkage and weld sequence: essential factors
Weld shrinkage and weld sequence are essential factors when it comes to manufacturing high-quality welded assemblies. At SLB HIGHTECH, we have the professionals and resources to estimate the precise material tolerance to account for weld shrinkage down to the millimetre for every project. And we know exactly which weld sequence – determinative for the planeness and perpendicularity of products – needs to be applied.
