WELD OVERLAY
Our weld overlay service is used by customers in a number of industry sectors where service conditions require corrosion resisting properties. Weld overlay often provides cost and schedule advantages over solid corrosion resisting alloys.
This means that we overlay a diverse range of components in terms of geometries, base materials and weld overlay grades, which are either 'free issued' by customers or purchased by Arc Energy as semi-finished products.
Arc Energy also offer a machining service for customers requiring proof or finished machined items.
