Multi-Process Welding in a Flexible, Rugged Package for Heavy Applications
Capable of gouging with up to a ½ in thick carbon steel, the Flextec 650X multi-process welder from Lincoln is ideal for large diameter stick, flux-cored, MIG or submerged arc welding on thick materials used in construction, shipbuilding and heavy fabrication.
Heavy Duty Combination Torch for Construction, Heavy Fabrication and More
The Victor Plus Torch from ESAB has a WH 315FC+ handle with built-in flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves, a new CA 2460+ cutting attachment with a contoured cutting oxygen lever that makes it easier for the operator to feather the cutting oxygen, and a torch head with thicker brass to improve abrasion resistance.
Field vs. Shop: What’s the Best Welding Process for Structural Steel Fabrication?
Whether structural steel welding is taking place in an indoor shop setting or outdoors in the field is a factor that either introduces or eliminates a host of elements, including wind, the enemy of shielding gas and the welding processes that rely on it. Here are some insights to help you choose the right structural steel fabrication process for a field application or for shop welding.
Seven Tips for Inert Gas Weld Purging of Pipes
Effective weld purging can only be achieved by making sure that any residual oxygen is displaced from the purge zone prior to and during welding to prevent significant loss of corrosion resistance and a reduction in joint strength. Here are some insights on how to properly conduct and monitor this process to ensure compliance.
