Electroslag welding (ESW) is a method of strip cladding, but differs from SAW strip cladding in that the arc is created between the electrode and the workpiece. The welding flux that is put into the joint melts and a slag pool is produced, which then increases in depth. When the temperature of the slag and its conductive capacity thereby increases, the arc is extinguished and the welding current is conducted via the molten slag where the necessary welding energy is produced through resistance. This method can be used for joining thicknesses of 25 mm (1 in.) and above. Contact ESAB for Ordering Information and Technical Data for the ESW Welding Head.

AVPS Laser Seam Tracking System



Laser vision sensing improves the productivity and quality of circumferential, longitudinal welding processes as typically found in wind tower manufacturing. Longitudinal weld seam tracking on roll-formed tubes. Inside circumferential weld seam tracking. Outside circumferential weld seam tracking. Servo-Robots intelligent seam tracking technology, combi- ned with ESABs GMH joint tracking system and pendant control, maintains precise wire position both in the joint and with respect to the vertical direction ensuring a consistent wire stickout. Parameters are easily set with the ESAB remote control pendant eliminating the need for special operator training. The operator selects the correct joint template (butt, groove, etc.) using the remote control pendant. The welding head is mounted on a motorized double servo slide where the head can be moved up-down and left-right. The Servo-Robot Mini-Box Control Unit is at the center of the tracking acting as both a vision control unit and as a process control unit which communicates with the GMH system to perform the tracking tasks.

FX-Series High Heat Flux Ovens


For the heated storage of welding flux The HT Series Flux ovens are unique, automatic, 3 stage
heating machines with a bottom loading hopper. The heating cells are divided into three zones: 1. The first cell automatically transfers 1/3 of the rated load capacity of flux from the bottom loading hopper to the first preheat cell. 2. After the flux is preheated to a set temperature and time, it is automatically transferred to the second high-temperature baking cell. 3. After the flux is baked to a set temperature and time, the flux is automatically transferred to a third or bottom storage cell where the flux is easily removed via a manual lever.

Special Applications

Special Applications

Friction Stir Welding


Quality in depth
The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) method is based on the principle of obtaining a sufficiently high temperature and pressure to join two components together by using a rotating tool, which under high pressure, moves along the joint, thereby creating a weld. FSW is ideal for joining straight profiles and flat plates from 1.2 to 130 mm (0.045 - 1.18 in.) with full penetration. Butt, lap and corner joints can be welded.

Key benefits Suitable applications


Shipbuilding / Offshore platforms Aerospace industry Railway wagons, streetcars, underground train carriages Automotive industry Production of electric motors Defense industry Cooling elements Basically all aluminum, copper and magnesium alloys can be Friction Stir welded with high quality and speed. Minimal distortion and shrinkage No joint preparation - degreasing only No grinding, polishing or straightening No repair welding Reduced weight (40% less than GMAW) High joint-gap tolerance Consistent weld quality Increased tensile strength Outstanding fatigue properties No fumes, sparks or spatter Low noise level Simple operation (HMI) Improved repeatability

SuperStir Friction Stir Welding System


The ESAB SuperStir range is designed for high-volume production of large aluminum panels, girders and trusses. The large custom-designed units offer a safe, clean and simple welding process that can be fully automated, dramatically reducing production costs. ESAB SuperStir FSW technology is applied across the entire industrial spectrum, from shipping, offshore, construction and transportation to defense and aerospace.

Special Applications

Legio Friction Stir Welding


A modular Friction Stir Welding system
The modular system makes it possible to assemble welding stations to suit the most varied Friction Stir welding applications. In a series of seven sizes there are five basic designs - S, ST, U, UT and double headed ST. The S-and ST-models are designed for linear welding (x and z), U-and UT-models for 2-D (x-y and z) and double headed versions are for welding hollow profiles. These basic types can be supplemented with different types of equipment to suit the most varied production needs with maximum flexibility to any production line. The larger S- and U-models are designed to be easily integrated with larger fixtures, rotary units and exchangeable clamping systems. For the production of smaller workpieces, the UT- and the ST-model are the most suitable. They have tables prepared with a hole pattern where fixtures can be attached. All machines are designed with a rigid framework for high performance during load conditions. The welding head travels on heavy-duty linear bearings and is driven by a rack and pinion drive system. All LEGIOTM machines have an ESAB HMI (Human Machine Interface) control system, specially developed for Friction Stir Welding. Control the welding process (the vertical Z-axis) either by force or position control; a hydraulic cylinder with a closed loop system controls the Z-axis.

Hybrio - Hybrid Laser Welding


Lighting the way
ESABs Hybrio hybrid laser welding technology combines the deep weld penetration and low heat input associated with laser welding with the excellent weld properties and superior gap tolerance of gas metal arc welding (GMAW). A radically new welding alternative, it produces extremely narrow and deep welds at very high travel speeds. In a single pass, the Hybrio process can often achieve what might require multiple weld passes using a conventional fusion welding process. Heat input to the part is reduced, as is the associated weld shrinkage and distortion that can make post-welding geometry unpredictable - and costly to repair. Using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) in combination with a laser, the Hybrio process overcomes the limitations of laser-only welding with its ability to produce quality welds in joints with less-than-perfect fit-up between parts. This enables a widened, more robust process envelope by a factor of three compared to a conventional laser-only process. GMAW also allows users to add filler metal to adjust the welds metallurgical properties and create beads and fillets, while the slower cooling rate reduces hardness. These features are especially beneficial when joining high performance carbon and stainless steels. ESABs exclusive adaptive closed-loop control system detects joint fit-up conditions and changes the process parameters in real-time to achieve a constant weld profile. This broadens the process window by a further 5 times over non-adaptive control.

Special Applications

Welding Solutions for Pipemills


Our experience and knowledge - your benefit! Flexible, reliable welding equipment
A wide range of products developed in-house for various multi-wire submerged arc welding (SAW) applications which are particularly suitable for pipe welding.

Precise, high-speed longitudinal welding


Our concept for longitudinal SAW is suitable for pipes in a normal diameter range of 508-1626 mm (20-64 in.), a normal wall thickness of 6-40 mm (0.24-1.57 in.) and a length of up to 18 m (708.66 in.).

Internal and external welding


For internal welding we have designed pre-stressed booms and welding heads for up to four wires. The external welding station is based on a column and boom solution with a very stable cross-slide to adapt to different pipe diameters.
Internal welding

Return current systems (grounding)


High current circuits have to be closed back to the power source by efficient systems at constantly moving pipes. Flexible steel brushes in two rows in front and behind the welding process are pressed with defined force from outside to the pipe to catch the current with a minimum of voltage loss and to surely avoid any arc blow effect, which would disturb the weld process.

Problem-free flux and wire feed systems Smooth feeding of wire in different diameters and

equally straightforward supply of new and re-used flux. The correct combination of compressed air, flux feeding, easy replenishment of new flux via the Big/Bag system, a vacuum unit, a reliable magnetic separator and continuous recovery helps to create welding stations with less downtime, high-quality welds and a cleaner working environment.

External welding

Spiral pipe welding


Internal and external welding is performed at one and the same station. Internal welding starts first and, after half a turn, external welding then begins - internally with two or in some cases three wires and externally with one or three wires in the welding process, depending on the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe.

Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)


Process
Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) and Metal Cored Arc Welding (MCAW) are similar to GMAW as far as operation and equipment are concerned. The main difference between FCAW/MCAW and GMAW is that the wire is not solid, but consists of a metal sheath surrounding a flux core. Wire begins as a flat metal strip which is formed into a U shape. Flux and alloying materials are deposited into the U which is then closed into a tube by a series of forming rolls.

Advantages
High deposition rates and efficiency, up to 98%. Excellent weld bead appearance with little or no spatter. Deep arc penetration when welding - allows tighter joint design, reducing quantity of filler metal needed to fill the joint.

Wide selection of alloys available. Metal cored wires have high current capacity and produce little to no slag - very high weld efficiency and deposition rates are possible.

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)


Process
Arc is struck between the workpiece and the end of a consumable electrode, both of which are covered by a layer of granular flux covering the arc. Some of the flux melts to provide a protective slag cover over the weld pool; the remainder can be collected for re-use. Principally carried out with fully automated equipment. For increased productivity, cored wires or arrangements of multiple solid wires can be introduced. Because of its high metal deposition rate, it is particularly suited to long straight joints of good quality in the flat position. It is widely used in the pressure vessel, chemical plant, heavy structural, repair and shipbuilding industries and wind mill tower fabrication.

Advantages
Very high deposition rates and travel speeds. Excellent and consistent weld quality. Deep arc penetration when welding - allows tighter joint design, increasing productivity and reducing amount of filler metal needed to fill the joint. Operating factor can approach 100%. No fumes or arc radiation.

Strip Cladding
Process
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) or Electroslag Welding (ESW) typically used for cladding large areas. Both methods offer a high deposition rate in terms of both kg/h and area coverage (m2/h), combined with low penetration and high deposit quality. Stainless steel strip cladding is widely used in the production of components for the chemical, petrochemical and nuclear industries.

SAW Strip Cladding


An electric arc is formed between the strip electrode and the workpiece. Flux is used to form a molten slag to protect the weld pool from the atmosphere and helps form a smooth weld bead surface.

ESW Strip Cladding


A development of SAW strip; established as a reliable high deposition rate process. An arc-less method using ohmic heating to melt the strip/ flux/parent material. Current flows through the strip electrode and a comparatively shallow layer of liquid electro-conductive slag. Penetration is lower for ESW than for SAW since the molten slag pool is used to melt the strip and some of the parent material rather than as an arc between the strip electrode and the parent material. ESW strip surfacing reduces dilution by up to 50% compared with SAW strip surfacing for the same heat input with a significantly higher deposition rate.

Advantages Reduces the need for expensive highly-alloyed base mate


rial, such as stainless steel or nickel-base alloys. Choose from a wide variety of parent materials and consumables. High deposition processes with low dilution. Allows for flexibility in the production of pieces in varying shapes and sizes.
