Picklex®20-High Performance Welding Increases Weld Strength Considerably with No Weld Spatter Along with very Long Term Rust/Corrosion Protection
Welding tests performed with International Chemical Products, Inc.'s Picklex®20 by General Motors Corp.™ showed a 60% increase in weld strength, than their present welding process for spot welding (welding was performed on 30 pieces of steering parts, after applying the product). Additional welding tests (fillet welding) performed by Pittsburgh Testing Lab (now known as PSI), showed higher weld strengths (43% increase), including the welding performed on mill scale (showed higher strength than welding on bare metal). Welding was performed directly on the coated surface, because the coating is conductive in nature. Weld strength increased considerably, due to the fact that the welding is being performed on a zero-rust metal surface. Also, Picklex®20 has high temperature fusion characteristics, which also result in better bonding (the coating does not flake or burn off at high temperatures). In certain cases, the weld strength increased few times
You Can be Several Steps Ahead in your plant Welding System
By traditional way of cleaning the metal surface, it is extremely hard to keep the metal surface absolutely rust-free before welding. This is because, right after cleaning and washing, the micro-rust starts forming immediately on the metal surface, over which the welding is usually performed, resulting in lower weld strength. When Picklex®20 is used, the metal surface is cleaned and coated at the same time and does not allow any rust to form on the surface before welding. Also, spraying and brushing Picklex®20 over the weld (after cleaning the weld surface properly), will provide a protective coating on the weld. Welding can also be performed on mill scale, after spraying and brushing Picklex®20, which completely converts the mill scale to a conductive metallurgical protective coating. The process with Picklex®20 does not form weld spatter. It minimizes labor, time, and costs for surface preparation before welding.
Conventional Welding System (according to American Welding Society specification):
SAVE MONEY, TIME, WELDING PROBLEMS When Using Picklex®20 Process:
a)Spray/brush Picklex®20 on metal surface. In case of mill scale on hot rolled steel, Picklex®20 converts the mill scale to a conversion coating, over which welding can be performed after drying mill scale does not have to be removed . Still )the weld strength will be higher than the AWS process performed by conventional method and
)no weld spatter will form (this process has been done for 9 years at the Military fabricating company Summa Technology, AL, with zero weld failure)
b)Heat dry with a heat gun (will take one minute)
c)Perform Welding
d)Spray Picklex®20 over the weld area for rust protection
Steps eliminated by Picklex®20= SAVINGS IN LABOR
a)Solvent cleaning
b)Blasting, grinding or sanding to remove surface rust
c)Blasting or grinding to remove mill scale
d)Removal of weld spatter
e)Removal of surface rust at the time of finishing
Note: Picklex®20 provides a complete rust protection underneath the weld area as well as over the welding area. It increases the weld strength considerably. No weld spatter forms, so cleaning of weld spatter is not needed. Since Picklex®20 does not cause hydrogen embrittlement, the chances of weld failure is almost zero. Also it prepares the weld surface for proper bonding with the top coating without any more surface preparation.
