At OEM production facilities, time is money. When core processes such as final product assembly, inspection, and shipping must wait on primary processes like component fabrication and subassembly, it can lead to unnecessary non-productive periods, missed benchmarks, and reduced revenues. When STP handles assembly and welding of tubing, parts and subassemblies arrive ready for further processes.
Utilizing a single source for parts fabrication and assembly welding saves you time and money in getting your end product to the market.
Our Process
We join tubing by robot or hand using solid-state pulse welding technology. It’s a welding process in which two workpieces are joined under pressure at a temperature below their melting point. Bonding of the materials is a result of interface atom diffusion.
Joints produced by solid-state welding are free of solidification defects such as gas porosity, hot cracking, and nonmetallic inclusions. Filler metals, flux, and shielding gases are not required. Additional benefits include:
- No wide heat-affected zone
- The weld appearance is more sumptuous<
- No distortion
- Easy to join different material types
- Mechanical properties of weld are similar to parent metals
- Reduced splatter
- Cost-effective
Solid-state welding is suited for applications that require the joining of dissimilar metals or fine surface finishes, since melting and faying is unnecessary. This welding technique is perfect for a range of materials.
Whether Robotic or Hand Welding, be assured of getting the highest quality product.
