Know All About Circumferential Seam Welding Lathe



Seam welding lathe are made of stainless steel and carbon steel. Mostly this machine comes in the thickness of 2-8mm and the length of cylinder being 2000mm. While the large scale cryogenic storage tank should be designed at the site. The circumferential seam welding lathe consists of the characteristics like strong penetrability and smooth welding quality. Circumferential weld joints can be rotated but these are often welded in a lathe.
You can choose TIG, MIG/MAG welding process and choose single torch or double torches, as per your requirements.

Features Of Seam Welding Lathe:

·         These are suitable for barrel and hydro-cylinder circumferential seam welding.
·         These are suitable for various materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium alloy and aluminum alloy, etc.
·         These are suitable for pneumatic loading material and hydraulic pushing fixture.

The Various Types Of Seam Welding Lathe:

1.       MIG welding: It is known for its strong penetrability, high density of current and smooth welding quality. This is usually designed with 5mm SS sheet that could be full-penetration welded without groove.
 2.       MAG welding: It features high deposition efficiency, high welding speed, seep weld pool and perfect welding quality. This machines helps for easy operation in a low cost. It is one time welding with full penetration, low welding deformation and single side welding with double side forming.
3.       TIG welding: The speed of this welding is nearly one-time lower than that of MIG. Nevertheless, the welding quality is on the point which is easily more polished than that of MIG welding.

Circumferential seam welding lathe is designed to serve the small to large-scale circumferential welding applications. This machine helps in welding seams at the outside surface of tanks. This is mostly used in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) cylinder, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder, large scale cryogenic storage tank and porcelain enamel tank. One of the advantages of the welding lathe is its high density of current.
