Our innovations
ESW Process
Canmec developed the ElectroSlag Welding (ESW) process which can be applied to aluminum alloys. This process, which is applied to large joint surfaces, significantly increases joint conductivity and considerably reduces welding time: for a given surface, one joint produced with the ESW process can be turned out in approximately 16 MINUTES instead of the 6- to 8-hour conventional plate method. What is more, several joints can be produced simultaneously. This process also stands out because it can be used in locations with high magnetic fields.
