Stalkers are designed to ensure high-quality gas coverage when welding titanium, duplex steels and other reactive alloys.
They are suitable for any TIG or plasma torch, for manual or automatic welding, on pipes or plates. They can also be used as a welding backing.
The use of a diffusion stalk ensures bright, shiny solder joints, with no discoloration, oxidation or porosity.
Stragglers are manufactured to suit the application, as it is essential that the straggler conforms to the surface so as to protect the weld pool or the reverse side of the weld. They therefore come in concave, convex or flat shapes to protect the inner or outer face of the assembly to be welded.
