How does NEPSYS compare to wet welding?
The mechanical properties of a NEPSYS weld are equal to those of a dry weld and it provides a permanent structural weld, unlike a wet weld. As an example dry welding typically achieves over 20% elongation of the weld when tested to destruction in an “all-weld tensile test”. NEPSYS has been tested and found to achieve 25% elongation whereas wet welding consumables are only rated to a maximum of 17% and typically wet welding only achieves 7-10%.
