ESAB MARATHON PAC™ ULTRA BULK PACKAGE HOLDS 22 PERCENT MORE WELDING WIRE IN A STRONGER PACKAGE
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced Marathon Pac™ Ultra, a new 1,100-lb. bulk welding wire drum, that features a robust outer box and reinforced corners for stabilizing the inner drum to prevent wire movement during shipping. Marathon Pac Ultra retains ESAB’s trademarked octagonal inner drum, known since 1989 as the industry benchmark, as well as ESAB’s reverse coiling technology to ensure that the wire comes out straight for greater process stability, less spatter and better targeting, positioning the wire at the center of the weld joint.
ESAB Launches New Series of Chrome-Molybdenum Filler Metals
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products (Denton, TX) has introduced a new series of B3 SC electrodes and fluxes for SMAW and SAW for 2.25 percent Cr, 1 percent Mo alloyed steels, SA-387 Grade 22, A335 Grade P22, and similar materials.
Busted: 5 Myths About Metal-Cored Welding Wire
Metal-cored wire isn’t new, but there are often misconceptions about applications, cost, performance, strength, and workability compared to solid wire. Read on to learn how you might be missing opportunities to increase welding operation productivity for less cost.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes
Comprised of three scientifically balanced oxides that promote migration and evaporation rates, Diamond Ground Products’ thorium-free Tri-Mix tungsten electrodes are a cost-effective and safe alternative to Wolfram Industries’ 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes.
Space-Saving Compact Air Filtration System
Lincoln Electric’s Prism Compact fume-extraction system for welding and cutting applications incorporates the Prism line’s vertical filter technology. Available in indoor and outdoor configurations, the short unit fits efficiently into smaller spaces.
Heavy-Duty MIG Guns Perform at 100% Duty Cycle
Four Magnum PRO Curve HDE semiautomatic welding guns from Lincoln Electric provide the best of both worlds: They deliver the highest duty cycle in their class and maximize operator comfort with a new ergonomic design.
Engine-Driven Welder Enables Simultaneous Welds
Lincoln Electric’s Dual Maverick 200/200X is two welders powered by one diesel engine with two outputs, allowing two or more welders to work at the same time. Output remains steady even during arc stops and starts in dual mode.
Wired for Success
To improve welding productivity, quality and cost savings, select the type and weight of welding wire packaging that balances out the time and cost for changing over the package with the equipment being used and the rate at which the product is consumed. Here’s how it works.
Misconceptions About Filler Metal Strength
Selecting the proper filler metals for a given welding application can be difficult and confusing. To better understand what impacts filler metal strength, consider these four common misconceptions, along with guidelines to rectify them.
Four Questions About Qualifying Wire and Advanced Wire Processes for the Jobsite
Resisting change is human nature, but change doesn’t have to be difficult. Qualifying different MIG, pulsed MIG or RMD welding procedures and processes for your jobsite is easier than you think – and a smart investment that can significantly improve productivity and save you money.
