Pulsed MIG Welding and Metal-Cored Wire Give Arizona Fabricator Contract-Winning Edge
Faced with the challenge of fabricating 5,000 poles for a solar energy installation in a 3.5-month period, Bell Steel Inc. put to work a new side beam welding system powered by the XMT® 450 MPa multiprocess welding inverter and using Metalloy® Vantage™ metal-cored wire from Hobart Brothers. This combination ensured non-stop welding (100 percent duty cycle at 450 amps), excellent travel speeds and deposition rates, and a flatter weld bead that required significantly less post-weld cleanup.
