HiFIT

The advantages of the HiFIT post-weld treatment are impressive, and lead to an enormous increase in the cost-effectiveness of your welded constructions:

An 80% to 100% increase in the weld fatigue strength

Due to local reshaping the weld toe is plastically deformed and reinforced.
Internal compressive stresses prevent the formation of cracks as well as the progression of cracks on the surface.

In case of timely restoration of existing constructions there is almost no distinction from new treated welds. Hence the service life of existing construction is considerably increased.
HiFIT is an ideal restoration tool as far as no macroscopically discernable cracks are evident.

Comprehensive experimental analysis on Notch Details and FEM-supported dimensioning processes show that the treatment is increasingly efficient with increasing tensile strength of fine-grained steels like S460N, S690QL, and of steels with even higher tensile strengths.
For a same service life the weld is able to bear approx. 1.6-fold higher loads. Consequently the use of steels with higher strength becomes interesting for lighter construction types.

Mobile compressors can also be used outside manufacturing plants.
The compact construction and the low weight permits access to hard-to-reach spaces. The space required is only slightly larger than the space required by a welding torch.
Robust LED lights on the head of the device provide for optimal light conditions also under difficult circumstances.

The treated zone can be visually inspected. The treatment line can be measured with a special calliper.
A data log device is optional and available for recording.
The working pressure can be monitored with a digital display on the handle.
