Have a complex weld? We've probably done it.
Purge Chamber Capabilities
Microtech offers a purge chamber that works in conjunction with the TIG and Micro TIG processes.
The purge chamber provides a completely inert atmosphere for welding reactive metals such as titanium, cobalt chrome, and molybdenum, as well as non-reactive metals like stainless steel.
The benefit of this application is that the inert atmosphere minimizes contamination of the weld, and in certain instances, reduces heat transfer and discoloration on parts where cosmetics are critical.
