revised: Customer process cladding in the Welding & Cutting sector

Cladding

Change of surface properties

PROCESS DESCRIPTION

The aim of coating construction components is to create surface properties that the base material does not have. Important characteristics include:

  • Corrosion resistance
  • Wear resistance
  • Thermal or electrical resistance or conductivity
  • Optical properties

Often it is metals that are coated. Here methods are used whose principles of operation are known from joining technology, such as:

  • Soldering
  • Electric arc welding
  • Shield gas welding,
  • Plasma-powder welding

For heat sensitive or non-metallic components special processes have been developed, such as:

  • Thermal spraying
  • Vacuum-coating
  • Electro- or immersion bath-galvanisation
  • Chrome plating

null Cylinders - Cylinder Markings

Cylinder marking

Compressed gas containers are identified by imprinting on the cylinder shoulder. The imprinting contains the specific cylinder number as well as information about approval for gas species, test dates, materials, owner, etc.

Please note, that the imprint of the approval for gas species is no indication of the actual contents; this is solely specified on the label of the cylinder.

The color of the cylinder shoulder carries some important information on the cylinder content. With the introduction of EN 1089-3, the color codes for gases in compressed gas cylinders were unified in Europe. A distinction is made according to four possible risk potentials: inert, flammable, oxidizing and toxic/corrosive. In addition, for some gases special colors are explicitly defined, e.g. white for oxygen or black for nitrogen.
