Welding & Materials
Ensure integrity and safety for your system
Welding is the main joining method on most of the components in industry-, process- and power plants hence a critical link in many systems. Material and structure is affected in various ways by the welding process. Verifying the correct properties of the welds is therefore of high importance for the systems integrity and safety, and requirements of welding quality is often a mandatory part in many product regulations.
Welding coordinator (IWE, IWT, IWS)
We offer support for your welding coordinator, alternatively full service from our Welding engineers as welding coordinator for your project.
Construction & Design
Design of welded structures and detail design of welds is dependent of choosing right material specifications and correct nomenclature and specifications for welding to fulfill the design document requirements in the current product regulations.
Education and training
We bring you up to date with requirements for welding in various product regulations and offer customized training for your company in quality, welding technology, and welding related rules and regulations.
Our welding competence is supplemented by material specialists with wide knowledge in conventional- and advanced metallic materials for various types of applications in steel construction-, pressure- and process equipment. For example materials with special properties such as: high strength, elevated temperatures, corrosion resistance, materials for gas- and jet turbines.
Welding Advisors & Material Specialists provides overall solutions and support with specific questions within the areas:
- Construction & Design
- Welding coordinator (IWE, IWT, IWS)
- Education and Training
Failure analysis for safety and sustainability
We use failure analysis with metallographic evaluation and material classification to identify possible safety hazards. We discover material defects, material properties, welding related defects, corrosion and fractures and find the possible root cause of failures and problems.
Welding advisor
Our welding engineers and specialists select the appropriate welding method and optimizes the process performance to find the appropriate quality level and best possible production capabilities.
Troubleshooting and problem solving around welding- and welding related production processes.
Development of welding plans, welding procedures, testing plans, and advisor regarding range of qualifications.
Ensure compliance with rules and regulations
Interpretation of rules and standards according to the different welding- and product regulations in the areas of:
- Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)
- SS-EN 1090 Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures
- ISO 3834 Quality requirements welding
- the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
- Nuclear power regulation
Advice and assessment of welding related documentation.
Preparation for weld inspection and supervision
AFRYs experienced specialists support clients with advice and preparations for inspections and supervision of:
- welds and welding inspections
- steel structures
- process equipment
- non-destructive testing methods in accordance with applicable quality acceptance criteria.
Do you need IWE or IWS competence?
The majority of AFRY’s subscribers need a part time Welding Coordinator or Welding Manager with IWE/IWS competence.
