- We analyze the causes of premature failures
In joining technologies, welding processes play a fundamental role for the metal-mechanic industry. From the manufacture of large structures for highly demanding sectors, such as Oil & Gas, Naval, Energy, Railway, Civil Works or Automotive, to performing simple repairs on deteriorated parts, the application of welding processes is key to give a satisfactory answer to the multiple needs.
The UNE-EN ISO 9000 standards consider welding processes to be special because, once executed, their quality cannot always be fully verified. Hence the importance of the procedures, controls and tests that have to be carried out to ensure their correct execution and performance.
