Oil & Gas - Mazak MegaStir

Mazak MegaStir has a long history in the oil and gas industry, assisting customers with welding applications for petroleum-grade steel, nickel, and stainless alloys. Constructed and installed both onshore and offshore, pipelines can require welding applications that range from 12" to 42" in diameter, with wall thicknesses up to 1.75" thick. With FSW, oil and gas industry suppliers can handle walls up to 1.25" thick at the same time they minimize defects. Likewise, for down-hole drilling and service equipment, FSW enables the joining of dissimilar high-temperature or high-wear alloys with a single-pass thermoplastic joining process that reduces or eliminates post-weld heat treatment.
