ELECTRON BEAM WELDING OF STEEL DIAPHRAGM FOR THE POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY An oil and gas client in New York commonly asks KTI, Inc. to apply our electron beam welding capabilities to steam turbine diaphragms. Following customer specifications, we electron beam welded the part photographed using a custom rotary fixture. The part consisted of low carbonstainless steel materials and had an ultimate height of 4.5" and an outside diameter of 73". The welding requirements included a weld penetration depth of .900" (partial) from each side, at diameters of 44" and 67". Upon completion, the part was shipped to our customer in New York and installed in a turbine being refurbished. Our expedited delivery resulted in minimal system downtime for the power generation company.

LASER & ELECTRON BEAM WELDINGLASER & ELECTRON BEAM WELDING OF STAINLESS STEEL ASSEMBLY FOR THE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY When a Mississippi manufacturing client asked KTI, Inc. to produce 30, 000 assemblies for an air conditioning application, our team of designers and welders set right to the task of helping out. The assembly process consisted of laser welding and electron beam welding. Using our high-tech capabilities in this field, we cleaned, assembled, laser tacked, and electron beam welded each assembly 360 degrees circumferentially. Using CNC equipment for tracking, we welded each piece to a penetration depth of .030" - .040". Overall part dimensions were 1 ¾" long and 2" in diameter. After completion of welding, the parts were pressure and helium leak tested, then returned to our satisfied customer.

• Project NameDouble Spring Assembly
• Overall Part DimensionsApproximately 1.5"x1.5" with .065" Diameter wire
• Tightest Tolerances±.005"

LASER WELDING OF A DOUBLE SPRING ASSEMBLY FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Demonstrating our expertise in using cutting edge technologies to their full potential, KTI, Inc. produced the double spring assembly highlighted here for a client in the automotive industry. For this large volume job, our disciplined and controlled processes ensured accurate and repeatable quality throughout the entire run. This assembly consisted of two stainless steel springs fabricated from .065” diameter wire. Operations involved first winding the two springs together and preparing the surface for welding by cleaning with acetone. Our CNC controlled 4-axis laser welder equipped with a high-performance galvanometer scan head allowed us to maintain precise positioning while achieving fast cycle times. When completed, the assembly measured approximately 1.5” in length x 1.5” in width. Visual inspection at 10x magnification confirmed we met the ±.005” tolerance called for in the specification. Our technical competencies along with in-house tooling allowed us to complete this multi-component assembly with a fast turnaround time and at very favorable pricing. We continue to produce this precision product at the rate of 30, 000 units on an annual basis.
