Stainless Steel Tank Making Welding Type

stainless steel tank Production welding methods mainly include the following:

‌Manual arc welding‌: This is the most commonly used welding method and is suitable for welding most stainless steel tanks. 

It uses an arc as a heat source to melt and fuse the electrode and the base material together.

‌TIG welding (tungsten inert gas welding): Use a non-melting tungsten rod electrode and an inert gas (usually argon) to protect the welding area to prevent oxygen and moisture in the air from contaminating the weld.

 It is suitable for occasions with high requirements for weld quality.

‌Metallic arc welding‌: Use a fusible welding wire as an electrode and use an inert gas (such as carbon dioxide or oxygen) to protect the welding area, which can achieve a higher welding speed and better weld quality.

‌Laser welding‌: Use a laser beam for welding, which has the advantages of fast welding speed and high weld quality, but the equipment cost is high, and it is suitable for occasions with very high requirements for welding quality.

‌Plasma welding‌: Plasma arc welding is a widely used welding process in pressure vessel manufacturing, which can provide high-quality welds and has advanced control levels and precision. ‌

All-position welding‌: Welding is performed using electrodes that do not consume tungsten, which is suitable for welding in various positions and provides high-quality welds. ‌

‌Basis for selecting welding methods for stainless steel tanks‌: ‌The selection of welding methods for stainless steel tanks depends on factors such as the specifications, technical requirements, and welding environment of the tanks. 

For example, for occasions with high requirements for weld quality, TIG welding and laser welding are better choices; while for occasions requiring high welding speeds, metal arc welding and laser welding are more suitable. ‌

‌Welding process flow for stainless steel tanks‌: ‌Welding process assessment‌: For steel types used for the first time, process assessment should be carried out based on steel grade, plate thickness, welding method, 

and welding materials to determine the appropriate welding process. ‌

Pre-welding preparation‌: Ensure that the welding equipment meets the construction requirements, and the welding materials need to be dried and used according to the instructions. ‌ ‌

Welding construction‌: clean the steel plate and make a groove, perform positioning welding, and ensure the quality of the weld‌.

Through the above methods and processes, the welding quality and safety of the stainless steel storage tank can be ensured.
