Linde will be showcasing its broad technology offering at the show in early October.

Linde North America is to display technologies designed to improve product quality and productivity for the welding, coating and fabrication industries, at next month’s FABTECH International & AWS Welding Show.

The FABTECH International & AWS Welding Show is regarded as the largest event in North America dedicated to showcasing a full spectrum of metal forming, fabricating and welding technologies, as well as related equipment.

Linde’s offerings include special gas blends, innovative supply solutions, process equipment and applied technology know-how, just the sort of technology to be showcased at the event.

“Linde’s understanding of manufacturing processes that require cutting or Joining, coating or cleaning enables us to design and deliver cost-effective solutions to address customers’ most stringent operational requirements,” said Joe Berkmanns, Manufacturing Segment Manager, Linde North America.

The company will be posted at booth #14029 of the Las Vegas Convention Centre, from 6th to 8th October.

On offer, on show
Linde’s offerings to the thermal spray industry, include the LINSPRAY™ carbon dioxide-based cooling technology for all thermal spray applications, and it’s just this kind of technology that will be on display at the FABTECH show.

Applications include HVOF, plasma and arc, which reduces the need for cooling breaks and thereby reduces cost and increases productivity.

Linde will also display its CRYOCLEAN™ snow system, designed to clean tools or pre-treat surfaces of parts prior to painting. The system, which uses liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) in combination with compressed air, offers an alternative to conventional CO2 blasting technology, which is often complicated by the production, handling and deterioration of CO2 pellets.

As well such centre-stage products, Linde will showcase the benefits of multi-component and doped shielding gases for metal arc and laser based welding technologies.
