Shear/Arc Butt Welders

Coil Width: 24" to 84" (610 mm to 2135 mm)

Coil Thickness: Up to .325" (8.2 mm)

Applications:
Arc Welding is the most versatile of all strip welding processes. It is applicable to almost all ferrous and non-ferrous metals in a broach range of thicknesses and offers a wide selection of parameters to meet a precise requirement. It is often used when a butt-type joint is mandatory, and occasionally when a rollable weld is needed.

Description:
The most popular types of fusion (Arc) welding processes are:

1. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
2. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
3. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
4. Plasma Arc Welding
 In GTAW, an arc is drawn from a tungsten electrode in an envelope of shielding gas, melting and fusing the abutting edges as the torches travels along the abutted 

coil ends. Good edge preparation is the key to higher quality, thin welds. Taylor-Winfield's Shear/Arc Welders make this possible. Filler wire can be added if required.

In GMAW, which also employs a shielding gas, a mechanically fed filler wire becomes the electrode and is consumed to form the bead; thus, a third metal component is added to the joint, causing some build-up above the strip surface. When such a build-up is objectionable, it can be minimized by adjusting the joint gap. It also can be reduced by adding a planishing operation or scarfing the excess metal in a trimming station.

In SAW, an arc is established between a mechanically fed filler wire and the base metal. A granular flux is used to shield the arc and interact with the molten metal, resulting in a high quality weld. Bead build-up often occurs and, if necessary, can be controlled as described in GMAW.

Taylor-Winfield offers a wide variety of fusion welding processes and machines including plasma arc and laser welding. Each application is evaluated carefully to assure selection of the most effective, practical and economical technique to meet the requirement.
