The company
|
|
Metrode was founded in 1963 and in the subsequent years it has grown to become the UK's leading manufacturer and supplier of alloyed welding consumables. It is particularly strong in those industries which require the highest integrity from their welding consumables, such as power generation, chemical and petrochemical, offshore oil and gas, and nuclear. In the last decade the export market has been vigorously developed and Metrode has sales offices in France, China and the Asia Pacific region in Singapore. It also has an extensive overseas network of distributors and agents as well as a distribution network covering the whole of the UK. The most recent step in Metrode’s development occurred in November 2006 when Metrode joined the Lincoln Electric Company as a business unit within Lincoln Electric Europe.

Development
|
|
Metrode maintains a close awareness of future consumable needs to support new alloys and changing technical requirements through its links with: the International Institute of Welding (IIW), the European Welding Association (EWA), The Welding Institute (TWI), the American Welding Society (AWS) and a number of universities and research organisations both in the UK and worldwide. The Company has its own development team with the necessary resources to design new products and improve existing ones to meet the needs of the fabrication industry.
|
|
Technical support

|
Technical support staff are available to help with any aspect of consumable choice, applications or procedural guidance.
|
|
Field based staff can advise on procedural aspects and factors needed to achieve optimum performance.
|

Facilities are available at Metrode for demonstration, training and evaluation for all the major welding processes which utilise Metrode consumables.
|
|
Quality assurance
|
|
Metrode's historic reputation for quality is sustained by the active and continuous implementation of a stringent quality assurance programme recognised by international authorities.
|
|
Approval and surveillance of Metrode's Quality Management Systems for design, development and manufacturing is certified by:
|
|
Lloyds Register QA to BS EN ISO 9001 certificate 840131.
TÜV to KTA 1408 nuclear specification.
|
|
Specifications and certification
|
|
Metrode consumables are manufactured to conform with the current issues of BS, BS EN, AWS-ASME and DIN standards where applicable. When incompatible variations exist between different specifications for equivalent types, these are indicated on the data sheet. Where a product does not strictly conform to a standard the specification is shown in brackets for guidance only.
|
|
Every batch is certified at least with chemical analysis to BS EN 10204: 3.1, with a few exceptions amongst some hardfacing/maintenance types certified to BS EN 10204 2.2.
|
|
Special requirements for batch testing or variant analysis are frequently satisfied with prior agreement.
|
|
Health and safety
|
|
Welding produces fumes and gases which can be dangerous to your health. Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can kill.
|
|
It is important to take suitable precautions when welding, and to follow safe working practices. These should be based upon information available from the Welding Manufacturers' Association leaflet and Metrode's Health and Safety booklet which may be obtained from Metrode or our distributors. Some details may vary with specific legislation outside the UK.
|
|
Welding fume data for hazard assessment (COSHH in the UK) is included on each data sheet.
|
|
Metrode is committed to:
|
|
|
Metrode aims to become the biggest supplier in the world of its specialist range of welding consumables.
