Argon-arc metal welding in Moscow

Argon welding of metal

When welding parts made of stainless steel, copper, titanium, aluminum and various non-ferrous metals and alloys, conventional welding methods are not always suitable. Many experienced welders use argon welding for these applications. The process is demanding, time-consuming and specialized.

Argon welding of metal, or argon-arc welding, takes place in an inert argon atmosphere, which gives the process its name. Using argon to join two metals protects the weld pool from oxidation caused by contact with oxygen in the air. Because argon is significantly heavier than air — by 38% — it displaces air from the welding zone, fills the working space and reliably isolates the molten metal from the atmosphere.

The welding mode can be manual, semi-automatic or automatic. Modes are classified according to these methods and the type of electrode used in the process. There are two types of electrodes: consumable and non-consumable. The latter includes tungsten wire, which can ensure a strong and reliable joint between two metals, even dissimilar ones.

Argon-arc welding is a unique technology that creates an oxygen-free environment at the joints of metal products. This method can join complex-shaped parts in different planes. Its advantages include:

• an exceptionally even weld;
• joining parts of different sizes and shapes;
• a high-quality, uniform bead created by a stable arc;
• welding products made of different alloys, including non-ferrous metals.

Fast turnaround and quality are our key priorities. To achieve them, argon welding is performed with modern equipment. All operations are entrusted only to certified specialists with at least 10 years of experience. The process is divided into several stages:

• Design. Our specialists work through every stage in detail and select the most efficient and fastest way to manufacture the specific part or assembly.
• Approval. The completed plan is submitted to the customer for discussion. The terms, deadlines and cost of manufacturing the parts or structure are approved.
• Production. Argon welding is performed in strict compliance with the technology. Our specialists have the full range of professional equipment for work of varying complexity.
• Delivery. Parts or structures are delivered by prior agreement. The cost depends on order volume, transport complexity and route length.

For argon-arc welding to be completed as quickly as possible, you only need to provide basic information. The following data is required to submit an inquiry:

• Product manufacturing. Provide part drawings or samples so we can reproduce the configuration and parameters.
• Structure manufacturing. Prepare the design documentation.
• Manufacturing from scratch. Prepare a technical specification, based on which our engineers will develop the design documentation.

Our managers provide full support at every stage. We will help prepare the technical specification and clarify any other aspects of cooperation.

We provide argon welding services in Moscow, Yaroslavl, Ivanovo, Vladimir, Kostroma, Nizhny Novgorod and nearby cities. Contact an Ivanovo Mechanical Plant manager to learn more and submit an inquiry.
