Breaking through the Bottlenecks: Going Lean in the Welding Operation
Lean initiatives provide the insight to resolve inefficiencies, establishing best practices and driving continuous improvement through every aspect of a fabrication or manufacturing business. When implemented correctly, lean practices in the welding operation can help companies expand their capacity without expanding their facility or workforce. In many cases, they can also help companies grow margin contributions, and gain greater competencies to increase profits and competitiveness.

Electroslag Strip Cladding Offers Productivity and Cost Benefits
Submerged arc strip cladding (SASC) and electroslag strip cladding (ESSC) are similar processes, but technological advancements have made ESSC a more attractive alternative. ESSC reduces the dilution rate of base material into the weld, offers greater deposition rates and increases travel speed to lower welding time and improve productivity — important benefits to manufacturing, fabrication, oil and gas, pressure vessel and petrochemical applications.

Accessing the Advantages of Remote Control Welding Technology
Efficiency, safety and profitability are important to any welding operation. In addition to general best practices and operator training, there are equipment advancements that can help meet quality and production goals, while also helping keep welding operators safer on the job. Remote control welding technology, for example, allows welding operators to set parameters at the weld joint without the need to carry, route, troubleshoot and maintain expensive control cables — all while delivering consistent welding performance.

The new FabCO® 812-Ni1M wire from Hobart has been formulated to provide excellent low-temperature impact toughness to help reduce the risk of cracking in critical applications. Low diffusible hydrogen levels further mitigate the risk of cracking and can reduce preheat requirements to minimize downtime for weld preparation. This gas-shielded low-alloy wire consistently maintains good mechanical properties in the as-welded condition and after post-weld stress relief.
