Applications

  • Welding Alloys supplies, to drilling companies and specialised contractors, a range of cored wires with excellent characteristics of wear resistance with casing friendly characteristics for hardbanding.  Those products are available from the many locations of the WAG.
  • WA Products: HARDBAND NB-O
  • The designers of equipment used in the oil and gas industry select component material for their corrosion and mechanical characteristics; they are constantly pushing the limits of technology and are at the forefront of material research.  For the efficient and economic welding of these new alloyed materials they rely on the WAG know-how and product range.
  • WA Products: WA Cladding wires
  • Valve producers are seeking alloys suitable to resist a wide range of corrosive environments.  Iron based superalloys and cobalt cored wires are designed for cladding surfaces of gate, butterfly or globe values.  The WAG has developed automated 'MultiSurfacerTM' equipment to ensure the highest quality welding at the lowest production cost. 
  • WA Product: STELLOY 21-G
  • In petroleum refineries some equipment is subjected to extreme operating conditions, for example the petcoke drums which are cyclically under high stress and high temperature.  For the fabrication of the clad steel used for the internal lining of the petcoke drums, the best choice is a specific nickel based cored wire developed by Welding Alloys. 
  • WA Product: GAMMA 4648
  • Production of chemicals involves many different processes; pulverising is one of the many operations needed.  Rotating at high speed, this disintegrator needs to be protected against abrasion and corrosion.  Welding Alloys has developed a hardfacing cored wire with optimal characteristics for this application after conducting trials in various locations worldwide whereby individual components are blended and agglomerated together to form compounds e.g. fertiliser.
