The Bortech BoreWelder was created in 1982, after 600 hours of development and testing by the operator of a machine shop that offered heavy equipment repair for local construction contractors. The BoreWelder was the answer to the obvious need for a machine to rebuild worn holes on large parts.

Bortech BoreWelders produce a weld overlay on the worn section of the workpiece. The workpiece can then be machined back to its original size.

Automated BoreWelders are superior to hand-welding. They are faster, provide smoother welds, and allow you to access hard-to-reach or small bores.

BoreWelders also provide a superior repair to inserting bushings or sleeves. They do not distort nor weaken the base metal and provide a longer lasting solution.

Bortech's BoreWelders are portable and can be used in both field and shop repairs. The BoreWelder mounts to the workpiece while the part remains stationary.

Bortech BoreWelders can be used with your existing GMAW power supply - they are compatible with all 300 Amp, Constant Voltage (CV) power supplies that have remote voltage and contactor control capability.

Bortech BoreWelders interface with all leading boring bars. One quick set-up allows you to align either the BoreWelder or the boring bar. You can even weld one bore while you machine another.

Bortech also offers BoreCladders, which can be used to clad round surfaces, such as nozzles for pressure vessels and pumps. When the nozzles require protection against caustic substances or erosion from steam or abrasive slurry, they can be built out of mild steel and then coated (or clad) with stainless steel, nickel alloys, or other exotic metals. BoreCladders produce void-free welds.
