STAINLESS STEEL PROPERTIES

5/22/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Stainless steel is a great material due to its resistance to corrosion and its durability. While welding stainless steel can be challenging, it is possible to learn with the right knowledge and practice.
Let's explore the facts about welding stainless steel!


Stainless steels are iron base alloys which contain at least 10.5% chromium. Chromium oxide forms on the surface of a stainless steel. This thin but dense film makes stainless steels resistant to corrosion and prevents further oxidation.
Picture

Types Of Stainless Steels

Austenitic Stainless Steels
This includes the 200 and 300 series of which type 304 is the most common. 
The primary alloying additions are chromium and nickel. 

Ferritic stainless steels 
These are non-hardenable Fe-Cr alloys. 
Types 405, 409, 430, 422 and 446 are representative of this group. 

Martensitic stainless steels
These are similar in composition to the ferritic group but contain higher carbon and lower chromium which permits hardening by heat treatment. 
Types 403, 410, 416 and 420 are representative of this group. 
Duplex stainless steels 
These are supplied with a microstructure of approximately equal amounts of ferrite and austenite. They contain roughly 24% chromium and 5% nickel. 
Their numbering system is not included in the 200, 300 or 400 groups. 
​
Precipitation hardening stainless steels 
Which contain alloying additions such as aluminum which allow them to be hardened by a solution and aging heat treatment. They are further classified into sub groups as martensitic, semiaustenitic and austenitic precipitation hardening stainless steels. 
They are identified as the 600-series of stainless steels (e.g., 630, 631, 660). 
Picture
Most stainless steels are considered to have good weldability!

They may be welded by several welding processes such as arc welding,
​ resistance welding, electron and laser beam welding, friction welding and brazing.
Remember: it’s important to keep joint surfaces and any filler metal clean!

Picture
Picture
​In today’s fast-paced world of manufacturing, companies are constantly seeking to increase efficiency to remain competitive. One technology that has been making waves in the industry is collaborative robots, or cobots. Cobots are designed to work alongside human workers to improve productivity and safety in the workplace. Welding applications, in particular, have greatly benefited from this technology with the emergence of welding cobots. In this article, we will delve into what welding cobots are, how they work, their benefits, and their cost.

What is a welding cobot?

A welding cobot is a collaborative robot programmed to perform welding tasks in conjunction with human workers. They are not meant to replace your welding workforce as they still require an operator to program and monitor the welding process but it enables your welders to increase productivity and weld quality.

Unlike traditional welding robots that are mounted on a stationary base, welding cobots have a compact design and can be easily moved between different workstations. They are equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, and AI software that enable them to work safely alongside human workers without the need for safety barriers.

How do welding cobots work?

Welding cobots have a robotic arm that is capable of performing a variety of welding techniques, such as MIG, TIG, and spot welding. They are fitted with specialized welding torches that can enable them to weld a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.  The welding operator needs to train the cobot on the weld that needs to be made, and these welding programs can be saved if a job needs to be repeated.  Once the weld process is set up and programmed, it creates a consistent weld every time. 

What are the benefits of Welding Cobots?

The major benefits of welding cobots include improved safety, increased productivity, and enhanced accuracy. By using welding cobots, companies can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. Welding cobots can also work faster and more efficiently than human workers alone. Unlike human welders who require breaks and rest, welding cobots can work continuously for extended periods, improving productivity and reducing downtime. Another advantage is the high level of accuracy that welding cobots can achieve. Cobots are equipped with advanced AI software that can ensure precise positioning and accurate welding results. Most namely. with a cobot you can save almost 60% in time and 70% in production costs. 

What are the applications for Welding Cobots?
They are a great solution for  high-mix job shops, repair & manufacturing, part resurfacing & reconditioning, roof & bridge trusses, mechanical contractors & pipe shops, agricultural equipment, and steel fabricators & metal service centers.

What is the Cost of Welding Cobots?

The cost of welding cobots varies depending on their size, capabilities and features. On average, a welding cobot can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000 or more. While this may seem expensive, it is important to consider the long term cost savings and benefits that come with investing in a welding cobot. These include increased productivity, improved quality, and reduced labor costs. Companies should also take advantage of government grants and financing options that are available to help offset the cost of upgrading to the technologies of Industry 4.0.

Welding cobots are revolutionizing the manufacturing industry by improving safety, increasing productivity, and enhancing accuracy. While the initial investment may seem daunting, the long term benefits and cost savings make it a worthwhile investment for any manufacturing company. By utilizing welding cobots, companies can remain competitive and stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of manufacturing.

Do You Really Need a Welding Generator?

3/29/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
A traditional welder generator is a great option when you have someone that is exclusively working in the field and will need to have their own power supply. For many though, that's not always the case. With the Earlbeck Pioneer Pack, you have the option of running off building power OR running off your generator so you have the flexibility to choose application by application.

By decoupling the welding equipment from the generator, this allows us to customize the package to the end user. For example, do you need two welders to operate at the same time ? Do you need to MIG/TIG or Stick, or maybe even all 3? We can factor this all in to make sure you are getting a package that works for you.

Ready to see it in action? Check out the video below to learn more.

Unlock New Production Speeds | Lincoln's Hyperfill Twin wire welding Process

3/17/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Picture
The HyperFill twin-wire solution, by Lincoln Electric, was developed to revolutionize heavy fabrication productivity. Designed for semiautomatic and robotic applications, HyperFill redefines high deposition welding, which allows you to make larger welds, faster and more easily. With its innovative twin-wire design, HyperFill allows for deposition rates above 18 lbs. /hr. (24+ lbs. /hr. robotically) without compromising weld quality or operator ease-of-use.
 
HyperFill In Pipe Industry
HyperFill is an industry changing twin wire welding process that provides significantly higher pipe welding productivity with the simplicity that any pipe welder can learn to use. The HyperFill process runs off of the latest generation Power Wave or PIPEFAB machine. The root pass is completed with STT and fill and cap passes with HyperFill. The use of HyperFill in 1G-Rotated process piping applications has been proven to show dramatic increases in diameter inches per day production.

HyperFill Requirements
HyperFill is a patented and licensed twin-wire solution that is designed to perform specifically with select Lincoln Electric welding wire. To access this licensed solution, activation is required through the Lincoln Electric REVEAL Activation Platform.

Picture
HyperFill Benefits
Get more done in a fraction of the time with higher deposition rates. With single pass welds, you can achieve the same size and length weld with faster travel speeds. For multiple pass welds, you can make less passes and travel faster to make the same size/length weld compared to single wire processes. 

Hyperfill is also less prone to undercut and other internal discontinuities due to the wider arc cone which provides a more robust weld penetration profile.  There is also reduced fume generation, with the same look and feel as a typical single wire process running at a much lower deposition rate for the welder so the technology is easy to adopt. 

And it's simple:
  • Single power source
  •  Single feeder
  •  Single gun liner
  •  Single contact tip
  •  Single watercooler
  •  Single electrical arc
