As our customers are primarily, aerospace manufacturers, we have the opportunity to meet the needs of this exciting jet engine world.
One of the needs we saw was for another welding process. A welding process that would be very unconventional as it had to weld on materials that were considered to be "unweldable". These alloys, used in the hottest sections of today's jet engines, would crack after welding them with conventional welding processes including high tech LASER or Electron Beam welders. Called grain boundary liquation micro-cracking in the heat affected zones, these cracks are very small. However, they will grow to bigger cracks when the engines are put into service. This is unacceptable. Ergo, this family of jet engine superalloys was considered to be unweldable...
