Key Features
- Compact footprint that saves floor space
- Penetration control — deeper penetration without extra heat input
- Controlled penetration ensures parameter repeatability
- Fast, reliable arc starting
- Multi-process: submerged arc, MMA, carbon arc gouging and electroslag welding
- Good bead appearance and broad application coverage
- IP23S protection rating for better safety
- 100% duty cycle at 40 °C for harsh industrial conditions
Typical Applications
- Carbon and alloy steel, stainless steel
- Steel structures and bridges
- Rolling stock, shipbuilding and pressure vessels
- Spiral pipe and large forgings
Selection & Setup Notes
A 1600 A submerged arc source suits multi-pass welding of heavy plate and large structures, and needs a dedicated tractor or manipulator.
