Use of OXYVITAL PSA Nitrogen Generators as Welding Shielding Gas
In welding processes, inert gases are used to prevent oxidation, improve weld quality, and ensure smooth weld surfaces. OXYVITAL PSA Nitrogen Generators provide high-purity nitrogen during welding operations, cutting off oxygen exposure and ensuring clean, strong, and durable welds.
Applications of PSA Nitrogen Generators in Welding
1. Preventing Oxidation and Ensuring Clean Weld Surfaces
-
Oxygen contact during welding can cause rust, discoloration, and cracking in the weld area.
-
Nitrogen creates an inert atmosphere around the weld, preventing oxygen damage to the metal surface.
-
Results in cleaner, more homogeneous, and aesthetically pleasing weld surfaces.
2. Stainless Steel Welding
-
In stainless steel welding, nitrogen helps preserve the metal’s original corrosion resistance.
-
Particularly in TIG and plasma welding, nitrogen prevents discoloration caused by oxygen.
-
Widely used in industrial applications such as food, pharmaceutical, and chemical equipment manufacturing.
3. Aluminum and Titanium Welding
-
In reactive metals like aluminum and titanium, nitrogen prevents oxide formation during welding.
-
Provides stronger weld seams, maintaining the structural integrity of the material.
4. Pipe and Pressure Vessel Welding
-
Nitrogen is used during arc welding to protect the interior of pipe systems.
-
In pressure vessel production, nitrogen prevents oxidation of both inner and outer surfaces, ensuring long-lasting weld joints.
5. Laser and Plasma Welding Applications
-
In high-precision welding processes, nitrogen keeps the cutting and welding zone oxygen-free.
-
Minimizes material loss during welding, producing clean and precise weld seams.
