Welding Engineering
If you’re searching for high quality and affordable welding engineering that you can depend on, Black Products Engineering can meet all your requirements. We are committed to the highest standards of welding engineering, servicing clients in Brisbane and surrounding areas by not just meeting their expectations, but exceeding them.
Our 1st class welders adhere to applied welding engineering processes codes and standards, such as the AS1554.5 standard; which allows them to work on structural steel for high fatigue loadings. Our welding engineering consultants can improve upon processes that are already in place. Our welders are able to inspect, monitor and test engineering systems to assess the performance of materials, machinery, and products. BPE enhances productivity and efficiency, reinforcing your processes and outcomes.
BPE is a leading Brisbane welding engineering company.
We understand how important it is to feel confident and worry free when it comes to welding procedure and welding safety.
Our dedicated staff invests the time and energy necessary to be well prepared for any unique requests or special concerns our clients may have.
We supply all the equipment and skills necessary to tackle just about every type of job our clients have for us, no matter how big or small it may be.
Welding Engineers use their vast understanding of physics, engineering, metallurgy, materials, welding, and standards to design, examine, and evaluate welds as well as to plan, supervise, and record welding operations in line with relevant codes, contracts or drawings. The position of Welding Engineer is essential for the security of a wide range of structures, vehicles, equipment, and goods that need welds.
Responsibilities of Welding Engineers
- Handle welding-related concerns to increase product performance and productivity
- Handle design of welded parts, structures and components
- Develop maintenance processes and procedures
- Evaluate flaws in structures and troubleshoot issues to provide solutions
Examples of Welding Processes
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is one of the most commonly used arc welding processes in the industry. The process uses a consumable flux-coated electrode to shield the weld area from oxidation and outside contamination. It is important to note that SMAW releases carbon dioxide gas during the welding process.
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is a process that makes use of a continuous wire feed, and runs either automatically or semi-automatically. GMAW welding speed is increased when compared to the SMAW technique, due to the continuous electrode in use.
- Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG) is a process that makes use of a semi-inert gas mixture, which allows the welding process to utilise a non-consumable tungsten electrode, an inert or semi-inert gas mixture and a separate filler material. Compared to the other welding processes mentioned, TIG requires a higher level of operator skill, and is an especially great method for thin material welding. The process is slower than other methods, but produces high-quality results.
- Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) is a process that utilises a wire with a steel electrode enveloping a powder fill material. The downsides are that the wire can cost more and produce fumes. However, welding speed is increased and greater metal penetration is allowed.
