Product catalog summary
Introduction
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques has expanded its Argweld® range with a non-metallic weld backing system designed for situations where purging is challenging. This system supports weld roots and enhances weld bead profiles, particularly for thin wall stainless steel sheets and vessels.
Specifications
The backing tape features a 75 mm wide heat-resistant adhesive aluminum foil with a 25 mm wide woven glass fiber cloth center. The cloth weighs 1000 grams per square meter. The tape is available in different amp ratings: 80 Amp (25m rolls) and 160/240 Amp (12.5m rolls), supporting weld currents up to 240 Amps.
Features and Benefits
  • Speeds up production and provides a back purge facility.
  • Ideal for stainless steel and alloyed metals, saving cleaning costs and purge gas.
  • Eliminates weld defects and is suitable for various welding orientations.
Argweld® Inflatable Pipe Purging Systems
This twin dam system creates a purge area for pipes and fittings ranging from 50.8 to 1,828 mm in diameter, facilitating fast purging and easy withdrawal.
Argweld® Leading and Trailing Shields
These shields provide high-quality gas coverage for reactive metals, reducing gas consumption and preventing oxidation and discolouration.
Other Purging Products
  • Argweld® Water Soluble Weld Purge Film™
  • Argweld® Flexible Welding Enclosures
  • Argweld® Weld Purge Plugs™
  • Techweld™ Multi-Strike™ Tungsten Electrodes
PurgEye™ 100 Weld Purge Monitor™
This device measures oxygen content below 0.1% to ensure no oxidation occurs during welding, crucial for materials like titanium and zirconium.
Argweld® Water Soluble Purge Film
This film creates a strong, impenetrable purge barrier that dissolves completely, leaving no residue, and is biodegradable with recyclable packaging.

WELD BACKING TAPE 2011-1

WELD BACKING TAPE™ Extending the Argweld ® range of purging products, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques are providing an economical non metallic weld backing system for the backing of welds, where purging is required but not easily achieved, for quality and for supporting weld roots to improve weld bead profiles. 160 and 240 Amp tape rolls are 12.5m (40”) long. Typically for the welding of thin wall stainless steel sheet and vessels from one side only, the backing tape can be attached to the backside of the weld, to support the weld pool, keep the argon from the weld torch surrounding the weld pool and eliminate the need to back purge, while giving a consistent high quality underbead profile. With the thickest cloth Argweld® Backing Tape will support single pass welding at weld currents up to 240 Amps, without change to the chemistry or metallurgy of the weld. Provides back purge facility Ideal for stainless steel and alloyed metals For purging large vessels the tremendous savings of purge gas and waiting time, pays for the use of the backing tape many times over. Saves cleaning costs Massive purge gas savings The high temperature heat resistant adhesive aluminium backing foil is 75 mm (3 inch) wide and in the centre is a heat resistant band of woven glass fibre cloth 25 mm (1 inch) wide. Eliminates weld defects Suitable for sheet, plate, pipes, vessels For horizontal or vertical welding The glass fibre cloth has a weight of 1000 grams per square metre. The 80 Amp tape comes in rolls of 25m (80”) length and the

OTHER PURGING PRODUCTS PurgEye™ 100 WELD PURGE MONITOR™ ARGWELD® LEADING AND TRAILING SHIELDS The Argweld Leading and Trailing Shields are designed for high quality gas coverage of titanium, duplexes and other reactive metals while welding. ® They can be supported to fit any make of TIG or plasma welding torch for manual and automatic welding on pipes, vessels or flat plate. Before welding can begin using an inert gas, it is essential to know that the oxygen content at the weld area has been reduced to a satisfactory low level. The PurgEye™ 100 Weld Purge Monitor™ is specifically designed to...
