Capabilities & Scope of Services
Welding is an essential part of operating and maintaining assets in many different industries. Whilst it has many useful applications, the welding process can involuntarily deteriorate equipment by exposing enduring stresses into a material, leading to decreased material properties.
In order to ensure the material strength of a part is retained after welding, a process known as Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) is regularly performed. PWHT can be used to reduce residual stresses, as a method of hardness control, or even to increase material strength.
