The Process
Copper welding requires a highly controlled and precise process, with strict procedures followed throughout to minimise the risk of cracking and ensure a strong, reliable weld.
1. Assess Components
We begin by assessing the copper component, including its material grade, thickness, condition, joint design and intended application. This allows us to determine the most appropriate welding method and preparation requirements.
2. Prepare the Material
Proper preparation is critical to achieving a strong, clean weld. The surfaces are cleaned and prepared to remove contaminants, oxides, coatings and other materials that could affect weld quality.
The joint is then prepared to suit the component and welding requirements, with correct alignment and fit-up checked before welding begins.
3. Select the Appropriate Welding Method
The welding process is selected based on the copper alloy, component thickness, joint configuration and application. Factors such as heat input, shielding and filler material are carefully considered to suit the job.
4. Control Heat and Preheat
Copper conducts heat extremely efficiently, which makes heat management one of the most important parts of the welding process. Controlled preheating and heat management at 400°C, is used to help achieve consistent fusion and minimise the risk of cracking or other defects.
5. Complete the Weld
The weld is carried out using controlled technique and appropriate parameters for the material and application. Maintaining consistent heat input and technique to help produce a strong and uniform weld while limiting unnecessary heat-affected areas.
6. Inspect and Finish
Once welding is complete, the weld and surrounding area are inspected for visible defects and overall quality. Where required, additional inspection or testing can be undertaken to verify the integrity of the weld.
The completed component is cleaned and finished as required, leaving it ready for its intended application.
Precision at Every Stage
From material preparation through to final inspection, every stage of the copper welding process is carefully controlled. At Peratex, our focus is on producing reliable, high-quality welds that meet the requirements of the component and its intended application.
