Drastically reduce or even eliminate your electricity bill Whether you’re a homeowner or business, electricity costs can be a large portion of your monthly expenses. With solar, you will be able to become energy independent for the lifecycle of your system. Even if you are not able to offset 100% of your electricity use, solar will still save you a lot of money by reducing a portion of your bills. Solar system is not an expense – it’s one of the best ways to invest, with returns rivaling the traditional investments like stocks and bonds. The substantial electricity savings, on average, will yield an ROI of 20 percent or more. - [Read More]

Metal work requires special tools to join two pieces together, which is where a spot welder comes into place. This type of resistance welding is an old yet effective method depending on the project. Understanding how it works helps you figure out if spot welding will work for your project. The goal of spot welding is to permanently attach two separate pieces of metal. The welding takes place at specific points, which are circular points. This type of welding is often used in the automotive industry to create the actual body of the vehicle by spot welding metal together. Other common uses include aerospace, metal furniture and electronics. Spot welding works through conductive heating, which is created by an electrical current. Classic spot welding positions two copper alloy electrodes, which hold the two pieces of metal together. Copper offers high thermal conductivity with low electrical resistance, making it an ideal way to focus the heat into the metal instead of in the electrodes themselves. The electrical current flows through the electrodes, creating concentrated heat to melt the metal. The melting causes the two pieces of metal to stick together in that spot. The electrical current only runs for a short time because once the pieces of metal fuse together, the current is no longer needed. However, the electrodes continue applying pressure until the melted metal solidifies into a secure joint. Welds created through this process are typically between 3 and 12.5 millimeters in diameter, with the size affecting the strength of the joint created. The welds are repeated at regular intervals to effectively join the two pieces. A similar process is seam welding, which uses the same resistance welding method. Instead of a shaped electrode that stays in one spot, seam welding uses wheel-shaped electrodes. The metal moves through those electrodes, which roll along the seam to create joints between the sheets of metal. You can use spot welding for a variety of metal materials, including sheets of metal and wire mesh. Steel is a top option because of a low thermal conductivity and high electrical resistance. Low-carbon steel is often the best choice, as higher carbon steels may become more brittle at the welds and be more prone to fractures or cracking. Stainless steel, titanium and nickel alloys also work well with spot welding. Spot welding can be more challenging on other metals, including aluminum, which requires much higher levels of electrical currents to create welds. Galvanized steel also tends to need higher currents to weld properly using this technique. Zinc alloys, copper and copper alloys may also be more challenging to spot weld. Material thickness is also a consideration. The ideal thickness is up to 3 millimeters, and the process works best when the two pieces being joined are the same thickness. If you're working with different thicknesses, the ideal ratio is no more than 3 to 1. - [Read More]

Today we were in Tunbridge Wells at the Royal Victoria Shopping Centre performing fire door inspections We had recently performed fire door inspections here previously and had given the management company a snagging list prior to certifying the fire doors as meeting regulations. Royal Victoria Shopping Centre Royal Victoria saw this as a great time to perform all their fire safety and fire door inspections whilst the current lock down is still in operation. As a centre it is great to see that Royal Victoria take their fire safety responsibilities serious. Availability We as a company are available to perform fire door inspections U.K wide and have some house hold names as our current clients. With the new Fire Safety Bill due to enter law at the end of 2020 it is now the ideal time to rectify any issues your fire doors may have!! - [Read More]
