A perfect result at 200 % welding speed

2022-02-07 | 

Böhler Welding's customer service staffrapidly fulfilled the request of a customer from Liechtenstein for improved welding productivity to their complete satisfaction: The combination of Foxcore 316L-MC & URANOS 5000 GSM makes use of the Böhler Arc and delivers quality and top speed.

The Böhler Welding customer, "Ludwig Elkuch AG", approached our application engineers with a request for optimization and performance increases in welding applications.
In this concrete case, they wanted to weld tanks with cooling coils, where it is important that the root is welded through so that no crevice corrosion can occur.

The requirements for the Böhler Welding team were therefore very clear

  • Improve gap bridging capability
  • avoid burn-through
  • reduce rework rate and repair rate
  • improve welding process stability
  • increase welding speed and also thereby increasing productivity

The proposed solution - a combination of Böhler Welding filler metal and the powerful URANOS 5000 GSM multi-process welding machine yielded the desired outcome right away.

Utilizing the Böhler Arc Effect - the best possible arc due to a harmonized, perfectly matched interaction of material and power source - therefore made it possible to increase the welding speed from 35cm/minute to 75cm/minute and to optimally satisfy all the

Requirements

  • very good gap bridging properties
  • no burn-through
  • low rework rate and repair rate
  • high process stability
