Welding Filler Metals

ESAB is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and innovators of welding consumables. Our range of covered electrodes, cored wires, solid wires, TIG rods, strips and Submerged arc welding flux, covers any application for almost any type of material.

MIG Welding

MIG welding is a versatile process, which can deposit weld metal at a very high rate and in all positions. The process is widely used on light to medium gauge steel fabrications and on aluminium alloy structures particularly where high-rate manual operator production is required.

Cored Wire

As in MIG welding, the flux cored welding process depends on a gas shield to protect the weld zone from atmospheric contamination. In addition to the gas shield, the flux cored wire produces a slag covering for further protection of the weld metal as it cools. This is subsequently removed.

Submerged Arc Welding

ESAB is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and innovators of welding consumables. Our range of covered electrodes, cored wires, solid wires, TIG rods, strips and Submerged arc welding flux, covers any application for almost any type of material.

Strip Cladding

Process The methods that are mainly used for cladding larger areas are strip cladding by submerged arc welding (SAW) or by electroslag welding (ESW). 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.

Marathon Pac™

Marathon Pac™ is a bulk pack for 200-475 kg of solid or flux-cored welding wire. The welding wire has been wound into the drum using a special technique. The wire is straight and comes out of the gun without twisting or warping making this product ideal for welding robots and other mechanized welding stations. Stoppages for spool changes and maintenance requirements are reduced by almost 90% — the arc-time factor is increased. Improved welding quality MARATHON PAC™ reduces repairs and rejects resulting from welding defects. The straight, untwisted wire offers major benefits when welding narrow joints, weaving in heavy material and welding thin plates where the wire must be precisely positioned to avoid welding defects.
