Welding Engineering Services — WPS/PQR, Failure Analysis & Process Optimization
Our welding engineering services are tailored to reduce rework, control welding risks, and ensure code compliance. We offer end‑to‑end engineering from procedure creation and qualification to failure investigation and production optimization.
Service Sections
WPS/PQR Development & Qualification
Draft WPS, design test coupons, witness or perform PQR tests, and assemble qualification packages for owner and code review.
Welder Qualification & Training
Coordinate and witness welder performance tests to produce certified qualification records aligned with AWS/ASME requirements.
Metallurgical & Failure Analysis
Root cause analysis of weld failures, microstructure evaluation, hardness testing, and remedial recommendations.
Distortion Control & Procedure Optimization
Welding sequence planning, heat input control, clamping strategies, and PWHT recommendations to minimize distortion and residual stresses.
Welding Automation & Process Selection
Evaluate automation opportunities (robotics, SAW/GMAW), parameter optimization, and implementation plans for productivity and consistency.
Inspection & NDE Planning
Create inspection plans, acceptance criteria, and coordinate RT/UT/MT/PT to support code compliance and fabrication QA.
Deliverables
WPS/PQR packages, welder qualification records, test reports, metallurgical reports, inspection plans, and corrective action recommendations.
Our Process:
Scoping → Procedure/testing/analysis → Delivery & implementation support.
-
Time varies by process and testing requirements — typical turnarounds range from days for simple procedures to 2–4 weeks for complex PQRs.
-
We coordinate accredited labs or work with client‑preferred labs for mechanical and metallurgical testing.
-
Yes — procedures are developed to match ASME/AWS/API and project‑specific requirements.
