At the Leningrad Metal Plant (LMZ, St. Petersburg) - a subsidiary of OAO "Power Machines" (St. Petersburg) - commissioned a unique fusion center cost approximately 52 million rubles. With it will be a special automatic welding layer on the neck and thrust disc rotors of steam turbines. The prototype model of the turbine rotor, the nominal capacity of 225 MW for Kharanorskaya State District Power Plant (village Yasnogorsk, Chita region) is planned to produce in the second half of 2009. Analogues of the welding center in Russia has ever had.

This fusion center is an international project. In its creation involved the Austrian company "Fronius", and in equipping - the company "Hitmasters" (Finland) and "Kistler" (Germany).

"Plant Red Sormovo" (Nizhny Novgorod), specializing in shipbuilding, has commissioned a second thermal cutting machine manufactured by ESAB (Sweden) with a rotary cutting plasma torch for plasma and auxiliary plasma torch for marking. Cost of equipment - 445 thousand euros.

Table service second thermal cutting machines has a length of 31 meters and a width of 3.8 meters. For comparison, the first thermal cutting machines, commissioned in 2006, table service length of 25 meters and a width of 3.8 meters. The second car on the technical characteristics of the first plasma torch and is supplied with an additional smaller capacity for applying marking lines. The machine is designed for precise and productive cutting sheet metal cutting with a V-joint. The rate markup is 20 m / min.
With the introduction of the second car will increase the cutting speed parts, automates the process of partitioning. As a result, the plant will be fully automated cycle of production of flat sections of the hull, allowing it to match the level of the leading shipyards in Europe.
The plant "Red Sormovo" (Nizhny Novgorod) - one of the companies the group of companies of MNEs (Sea and oil and gas projects), which also includes the Volga-Caspian Design Bureau (Nizhniy Novgorod), Sormovskoe Engineering (Nizhny Novgorod), Volgograd Shipyard and Volgograd special engineering plant.

JSC "Barnaul mechanical equipment factory," announced the preparation for the production of new low-power welding torches T2-06 "Baby" , designed for manual gas welding, brazing and other methods of flame treatment of metals. The first commercial batch of welding torches to be released in June 2009.

The main advantages of torch T2-06 "Baby" in comparison with commercially available torch T2-06:
  • smaller mass;
  • supplied with the burner will be included tip number 0 for welding steels with a thickness of 0.2-0.5 mm;
  • extension of the scope - F2-06 "Baby" can be used by jewelers for welding and soldering precious metals, as well as for laboratory instruments.

Marketing agency B2B Research conducted a study of the Russian market of welding equipment in 2007-2008. The results showed that:
  • for the Russian market of welding equipment for metal and plastic for 2007-2008. (Except for the fourth quarter of 2008) were characterized by consistently high growth rates due to the large volume of construction and, accordingly, a stable demand for welding products, as well as increased presence in the domestic market of the equipment from China, France, Italy, Turkey and other countries;
  • approximately 90% of Russian market accounted for by foreign welding equipment, with approximately 70% of total imports amounted to equipment for arc welding and about 28% - equipment for resistance welding;
  • share of domestic equipment in total Russian market amounted to about 10% in 2007 and about 6% in 2008, with approximately 72% of domestic products in 2007-2008. made equipment for arc welding;
  • in comparison with 2007 the volume of Russian market of welding equipment in 2008 increased by 143% ;
  • in comparison with 2007 the volume of domestic production of welding equipment in 2008 increased by more than 20%;
  • increased consumption in the domestic environment for arc welding machines, as well as plasma and other types of welding;
  • due to the global financial crisis in late 2008 - early 2009. decreased sales of welding equipment, there was a bias in favor of cheaper equipment.
