Special welding - Import export

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products employs a wrought powder metallurgical process to manufacture custom gauge and width strip materials used as the outside sheathing of flux cored wire and metal cored welding wire. Advantages Our high purity process allows production of wire sheathing materials with significant advantages for flux cored welding wire producers, compared to a conventional casting process. These include: Very high ductility Tight and repeatable chemistry control Availability of unique and custom chemistries High purity material for improved tool and die life Corrosion, wear and high temperature resistant Short lead times and small batch sizes Find a consolidated listing of our metal sheathing materials in our Weld Wire Sheathing Brochure. Chemistry Control We tightly control the chemistry of the incoming raw materials to ensure that trace elements are kept to a very low level. Our wrought powder metallurgy process allows chemistry flexibility

Superior Tube is committed to improving healthcare options for patients, and to helping surgeons save lives. As such, we manufacture a range of specialized welded and seamless tubing products for various areas of the medical device industry, including cardiac stents. Stents are small, expandable tubes, usually made of metal mesh, and are used to treat narrowed or weakened arteries. In patients with coronary heart disease, stents are implanted in order to open narrowed arteries during a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention, or angioplasty. Heart stents can also help relieve chest pain and aid in the prevention of heart attacks. Ever since our tubing was used in the earliest cardiac stent implants in 1987, Superior Tube has been an industry leader in the manufacture of implant grade tubing for both coronary and peripheral stents. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

The welding process is one of the core ways in which we manufacture precision tubes. Our high-quality tubing starts off as a flat strip of metal. The strip is formed into a tube through a series of rollers and the join, also called the seam, is then welded together. Welded Processes Special non-destructive testing methods – including eddy current, ultrasonic and pressure testing - are used to ensure a consistent weld. Just like with seamless manufacturing, welded tubes can be drawn down by plug drawing or sinking. This method can be used to create very long lengths of coiled tube, these can also be measured during coiling using a laser measurement. The main welded tube manufacturing processes used are strip welding and cold drawing, but other important processes in between, or at the end of the drawing process, include Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.
