Welding technology company K-TIG has successfully developed welding procedures for high-strength carbon steels in addition to its stainless steel capabilities, opening up access to a new market worth billions dollars per year.
The company, which manufactures patented, high-productivity welding equipment and offers welding as a service, has a proven track record in welding A516 grade 70 carbon steel which is used to manufacture critical components for heavy industries.
K-TIG has identified the US$43 billion carbon steel vessel market and the US$60 billion carbon pipe market as market entry points.
Managing Director Adrian Smith said, “A516 is one of the most commonly used carbon steels in the world and particularly in the United States.
“The demonstration of K-TIG performing welds certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers code is an exciting step that further expands the market opportunities for our technology.”
K-TIG’s advanced keyhole welding system is capable of completing a traditional six-hour Tig weld in three minutes, and to a quality standard that meets the most demanding requirements of the nuclear, aerospace and power industries. defense.
K-TIG will now develop procedures for other carbon steels.
