CLADDING & TESTS :
  • Cladding TIG / MIG

    – TIG with hot wire weld deposit for higher bonding response to base material as per MPS and approved WPS/PQR – material: 316 / Duplex / Super Duplex / Incolloy 825, Inconel 625 …

    – Groove sealing area cladding by total filling of the groove before machining

    – Verification of Fe dilution at 3 mm below surface, acceptance criteria as per MPS (5 or 10% max Fe content)

    – Bore cladding: as clad condition within imposed tolerances (full bore machining upon request)

    – Sealing area and face cladding 100% machined before testing

    – 100% inspection of clad area by Ultrasonic tests / X-Ray / Dye Penetrant Test

    – Application of repair procedure as and when required
