Welding techniques used in the construction and maintenance of cement plants and equipment are referred to as cement industry welding. It commonly involves sticking, MIG, TIG, and flux-cored welding to join materials like carbon steel and chrome-moly steel. Equipment like kilns, mills, crushers, and conveyors as well as pipes and tanks are all subject to welding. Welding in the cement industry must take quality and safety into account because poor welds can result in equipment failure and possibly dangerous circumstances.
