About
Welding Research Department (WRD) conducts many Researches covering many welding
materials such as ductile iron casting, heat resistant steels, duplex stainless
steels, maraging steels and 9% Ni steel, beside the different alloys such as
aluminum alloys, nickel base alloys, titanium alloys, copper alloys, similar and
dissimilar alloys. In addition to surface and mechanical properties improvements
through for example surface coating of materials using oxyacetylene, arc spray and
plasma spray by micro and nano powders, which are also studied in the repair of
crank shafts and turbines. Lately the department conducts many researches to
manufacture and develop special electrodes for welding and repair of special
materials.
