Specialist Welding & Manufacturing
Specialist Welding and Manufacturing, Engineered to Precision
Intro
John Tracey Specialist Welding deliver specialist welding and manufacturing services for some of the most demanding industrial sectors in the world, including nuclear, defence, marine, and offshore energy.
Where You Gain Value
Our facilities and highly skilled personnel enable us to manufacture and assemble your complex fabricated structures using a wide range of specialist materials. We continually invest in new technologies, materials and processes, ensuring our capabilities remain aligned with your evolving requirements. Ongoing research, training and development ensures our teams remain at the forefront of the industry, from metallurgical compatibility of new materials and consumables, to the introduction of advanced welding procedures, inspection techniques and testing standards, meaning you may always access innovative, but proven solutions.
No matter what your needs are, we have you covered. We maintain an extensive library of qualified welding procedures covering both conventional and exotic materials, including:

Specialist Welding of Exotic Metals
Some materials demand more than standard fabrication skills. Our coded welders work with high-performance and corrosion-resistant alloys every day, using the processes, preparation and controls each material needs to deliver sound, compliant welds.
01 Cunifer
Cunifer is widely used in marine and offshore pipework for its excellent resistance to seawater corrosion. Welding requires careful control of heat input, thorough cleaning to remove surface contaminants, and suitable filler materials to maintain weld integrity. Our welders use TIG welding and controlled purging where required to produce sound, corrosion-resistant joints that meet the demands of marine applications.
02 Super Duplex Stainless Steel
Super duplex is widely used in offshore and subsea environments. Careful heat input control is essential to keep the material’s strength and corrosion resistance, and our procedures are built around getting that balance right on every weld.
03 Stainless Steel
For stainless pipework we use controlled purging, separate tools and work areas to prevent carbon contamination, and post-weld pickling and passivation to restore the protective surface layer. Weld sequencing and proven techniques keep distortion to a minimum.
04 Aluminium
Aluminium’s high thermal conductivity and oxide layer need a specialist approach. Our team prepares and welds aluminium to the same exacting standards as our steel and alloy work.
