Preheat Welding with LINDOFLAMM Burners
Accelerating Preheating Process Steps - Without Compromising Workpiece Integrity
Maintain the tensile strength and integrity of steel by trusting in LINDOFLAMM® special burners and discover how you too can overcome the parameter complexity of preheating operations.
Reversing Embrittlement in High-strength Materials
Offering increased performance at reduced weight and cost, high-strength steels are growing in popularity. These performance gains are particularly advantageous in harsh environments such as offshore wind farms. However, the trend for high-strength materials is also driving demand for preheating prior to welding. This heat treatment step reverses any hydrogen embrittlement effects that can lead to cracking, maintaining the tensile strength and integrity of the steel.
In fact, preheating is recommended and mandated by many standards and codes of practice. Yet it can be an extremely complex step and the optimum parameters vary from one application to another. Among the critical factors for successful preheating are precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution throughout the thickness of the material. The preheating temperature depends on the type and thickness of the material, and the subsequent welding process.
Getting Preheating Parameters Right - With LINDOFLAMM
We understand that off-the-shelf solutions do not always fit individual preheating needs and have therefore developed a range of specially designed burners and nozzles engineered for reliable acetylene flames and long-lasting use. Drawing on our in-depth engineering knowledge, hands-on experience and commitment to research, this portfolio of LINDOFLAMM systems and burners can be customized to help you achieve extremely high thermal efficiency values.
Our best-in-class portfolio of LINDOFLAMM acetylene / compressed air burners allows the material to be preheated either mechanically or manually. The additional heat facilitates metal cutting and welding. Even thicker sections can be cut and welded with better quality using LINDOFLAMM.
Enhancing Preheating Performance with Acetylene as the Fuel Gas
Whenever precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution are required, acetylene is the fuel gas of choice. As a cutting or welding gas, it reaches the cutting and welding temperature faster, burns hotter, can be applied more precisely, and will greatly enhance the overall productivity and efficiency of any preheating job. LINDOFLAMM burners run on acetylene and compressed air.
