Irvon offer fully welded cans using the latest submerged arc welding technology. We offer both single and tandem wire welding, maximising deposition rates to cut delivery times and reduce costs. Together with our bevel laser machine, we can laser cut weld preparations in addition to traditional methods.
Submerged arc offers not only superior speed. The inherent penetration and automated column and boom machine provides the ability to weld quickly with very high reliability. Submerged arc has a higher natural pass rate for NDT than MIG, TIG or SMAW and is ideal for long or large joints.
Our welders are coded to DNV GL, EN ISO15614, ASME IX, PD5500 & EEMUA 158.
We have procedures (WPQR’s and WPS’s) that cover both as-welded and heat-treated material (PWHT) in steels with yield strengths up to 690 N/mm², together with qualified weld repair procedures. There are also dedicated procedures that cover not just the welding of stainless steel, such as 304 & 316 but also handling to ensure no contamination is present.
All this complements the biggest and best plate bending facility in The UK.
