Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Ltd. recently published a four-page leaflet about Weld Backing Tape, which can be placed at the backside of a weld to save manufacturers significant costs.
Three different grades of Backing Tape are available to permit arc welding up to 240 amps. The benefits include:
? Elimination of the need to manufacture expensive backing bars and to manipulate them in tight spaces
? Dramatic reduction in post-weld dressing and cleaning
? Weld is cast flat onto the glass fibre weave eliminating drop through and icicles
? Lower skilled welding personnel can be used with this simple to use material
? Slag and massive oxidation are eliminated
