Yes, trailing gas nozzles can also be used for forming, e.g. in pipes or along joints. Sufficient space must be available so that the nozzle can be carried along. Particularly with large components, where a large volume needs to be formed, trailing gas nozzles offer the advantage of protecting the hot area locally around the seam more quickly and with less gas, instead of having to purge the entire area for a long time.

Our drag gas nozzles are not wear parts, but are designed for continuous operation. There are replaceable wear parts in the nozzle body that can be replaced if they become heavily stained (e.g. by welding spatter).

In addition to system development and production, we take on feasibility studies and application studies up to two to three items. To this end, we operate our own application center, where we also support our existing customers in process development and layer analysis. A number of contract service providers employ our technologies and we would be happy to put you in touch.
