Falstrom Company Updates Welding Program

 

Welder and Weld Inspector qualification is serious business, particularly when mission critical equipment for Navy ships is involved.  Electronic systems onboard ships control propulsion systems, weapon systems, radar systems, power distribution– almost everything that that operates and protects the lives of sailors and the mission of the vessel.  Whether surface ship or submarine, the survival of these systems often depends on welded structures to keep them secure and operational under extreme and hostile conditions. 

 

As a supplier of electronic enclosures and welded structures to major defense electronics contractors, Falstrom Company takes our responsibility for maintaining welding process control and quality assurance very seriously.  We have implemented an on-going program for training and qualification of our welders and our inspectors that assures our customers they are getting compliant welds on all of the equipment we manufacture.  Working with General Dynamics Electric Boat, Northrop Grumman, and Welder Training & Testing Institute (WTTI), Falstrom Company has recently upgraded our Weld Procedures, Welder Workmanship Training, and Weld Inspection programs to comply with the requirements of Tech-Pub/Mil-Std-248, Tech-Pub/Mil-Std-278, and Tech-Pub/Mil-Std-271. 

 

Falstrom Company currently has qualified Tech-Pub/Mil-Std-248/278 procedures and qualified welders for HY-80 Steel, Carbon Steel, Stainless-to-Carbon Steel, 5052-H32 Aluminum, and 5052-to-6061 Aluminum.  In addition, we also have qualified procedures for AWS D1.1, AWS D1.3, and AWS D17.1. Should new procedures be required we have resources in place to prepare and qualify both the procedures and personnel.

 

To maintain the integrity of our welding program, Falstrom Company performs regular and unannounced audits and reviews utilizing in-house personnel and independent outside Level III resources of Welder Training & Testing Institute.

 

When the system you are designing depends on welding, you can depend on Falstrom Company

FALSTROM expands welding capability

 

In its continuing efforts to remain proactive to  critical U. S. Navy customers, Falstrom has now qualified  Gas Metal Arc Pulsed (GMAP) Welding procedures to MIL-STD-278, for grooves of 1/8” to ½” and unlimited fillet welds.

This qualification provides Falstrom with the ability to serve its customers fully wherein the stringent requirements of MIL-STD-278 are imposed on the drawing.

In qualifying this procedure, Falstrom now employs the latest equipment in pulse welding technology. As compared to standard GMAW (MIG welding), this pulse welding process results in improved wire feed speeds, better deposition rates and efficiency, weld thickness flexibility, fume reduction, reduced weld spatter, and lower distortion.
