Metlab recently assisted TrimMaster in fabricating an aluminum frame for an underwater buoy that would meet customer specifications. Mike Allard, Sales Manager, explains “We were faced with the prospect of welding the aluminum assembly to put it together, and knew that there would be reduced strength at the weld joint. By changing the welding wire we used, we could take advantage of Metlab’s heat treating process, especially their large furnaces to accommodate these parts, to raise the strength of all weldment components to a T-6 condition, giving us the strength that we needed for the application.”
