Our experience fabricating duplex stainless steel ranges from 2003 lean duplex to 2507 super duplex alloys.
We are certified in GMAW, FCAW, GTAW and Hybrid Laser Welding
Cutting edge welding technology ensures great welds with proper phase balance.
Our ferrite scope alloys us to perform NDT of welds to verify phase balance during production.
The extreme tensile strengths of duplex stainless steels require extra large equipment for proper bending and forming. Northern's 24' press brake offers 660 tons of crushing force.
Hybrid laser welding is useful for very specific applications when filler metal is required. The laser beam is combined with the MIG welding weld puddle to push the molten filler metal deep into the weld joint. This process adds more heat and distortion than autogenous laser welding. It is generally used when the alloying filler metal is required for corrosion or strength, but can also be used to increase the weld speed or depth of penetration.
