Preheat in Welding: What Is It and When Should You Use It?
Preheating in welding is important in many applications. Learn about the benefits and drawbacks of four common welding preheat methods.
PreHeat & Induction Heating
Preheat and induction heating help improve weld quality when materials, codes or conditions require controlled heat. This cluster covers when to preheat, how induction heating works and how it compares with flame or resistance heating. Use these resources to understand hydrogen control, uniform heating, jobsite efficiency and equipment choices for pipe, structural steel and other demanding welding applications.
Think Beyond Pipe Welding for Induction Heating
How does induction heating work for applications beyond pipe? A range of tools make it possible to use induction for flat plate preheating.
Welding Preheat Time Reduced in Lambeau Field Structural Steel Project
When tasked with preheating steel reinforcements for welding, Miron Construction turned to the Miller ProHeat 35 and induction heating.
Welding Preheating on the Jobsite Made Easier
A new induction heating tool allows contractors to insource weld preheating and bake out on the jobsite to reduce costs and meet deadlines.
Welding With Induction Heating Improves Consistency and Saves Time
Using induction for preheating and post-weld stress relief can save time and improve productivity for a variety of applications and industries.
