August 2024 is Fabrication Month!
We've partnered with 'Rampion Offshore Wind Farm Tours' to highlight how helium is being used in the production of wind turbines. The majority of joints in wind turbine fabrication involve circumferential Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). This process uses helium as a shielding gas (due to its inert nature) allowing for consistent welds at higher heat transfers to ensure quicker, more efficient fabrication processes. This is your opportunity to marvel at the breathtaking scale of this landmark project and witness 116 x 140m tall turbines generating enough green energy to power 350K+ households annually.
