ESAB has introduced Exaton 19.9.Nb HF, classified as an AWS A5.9: ER347 as well as an EN ISO 14343-A S 19 9 Nb, is a 300 series austenitic steel submerged arc welding wire with niobium and high ferrite to further increase weld deposit mechanical properties at elevated temperature. It is ideal for stainless steel applications on pressure vessels (e.g. for components requiring cladding restoration) and other thick plate applications requiring multiple passes (e.g. at pipe mills performing longitudinal welds). “As phosphorus and sulfur levels or other impurities increase, increasing the ferrite content helps resist weld cracking, especially in multi-pass welds,” says Paolo Torchiana, Global Product ...

To expand its line of filler metals for chrome-molybdenum weldments in the refinery, petrochemical, power generation and pressure vessel applications, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced its new series of B3 SC electrodes and fluxes for SMAW, GTAW and SAW for 2.25% Cr 1% Mo alloyed steels, SA-387 Grade 22, A335 Grade P22 and similar materials.

The new B3 SC filler metals feature modernized formulations designed for applications that require high toughness also in the post-weld heat treated as well as after step cooling treatment. The weld metal is also designed for increased rupture resistance at high service temperatures. Filler metal chemistry is carefully controlled ...

ESAB has announced an improved OK Flux 10.99, an agglomerated neutral basic flux designed for submerged arc welding in heavy industrial environments like petrochemical plants, offshore construction, transport, LNG and LEG tanks, pressure vessel, and pulp and paper industries. The enhanced formula of the flux works, in combination with selected austenitic and nickel-based wires, performs equally well with either AC or DC+ current, and provides significantly improved slag release, increased productivity and better weld quality.

“The high basicity of OK Flux 10.99 provides superior impact and toughness,” says Paolo Torchiana, Global Product Manager, ESAB. “Its excellent weldability in 1G ...

We have exciting and very positive news to share with you! Today, we announced that our parent company Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX) intends to build on our strategic momentum by separating into two independent and publicly-traded companies—one business will focus on fabrication technologies (ESAB) and the other on specialty medical technologies (MedTech Co. and DJO). 

From a leadership perspective, I will continue as CEO of ESAB with our current team.  Together, we will continue to strengthen ESAB’s fabrication market leadership. ESAB expects to invest its significant free cash flow into growth-related capital investments, innovation, productivity and strategic acquisitions.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced its new SmartPipe™ system for automated plasma or oxy-fuel cutting of pipe alongside a table for cutting flat plate. The SmartPipe standard line covers pipe in diameters from 2 to 12 in., lengths up to 20 ft. and weights up to 2,200 lbs. SmartPipe HD (heavy duty) can handle pipe diameters up to 10 ft. (including the common 36, 48 and 72 in. diameters) and lengths up to 60 ft.

The SmartPipe system consists of a pipe turning unit with a manually adjustable chuck and a CNC-controlled turning axis, two or more adjustable-position pipe supports and a support track. A typical configuration would situate the turning unit between the cutting table ...

The production facility for TBi China has been successfully relocated to ESAB ZhangJiaGang Jiangsu from Little Duck Industrial Park Ji’nan Shandong.  Other functions for TBi China including sales, marketing, technical support and demonstration center, have also moved to a new office in Ji’nan Lushang FREDA Plaza.

The full spectrum of TBi operations, including welding torch and cleaning station production lines, quality, logistics and warehousing, now reside at ESAB ZJG site. As one of the three major production locations in ESAB Global, ESAB ZJG is equipped with comprehensive manufacturing capacity and ZJG team will continue to improve the business utilizing CBS tool to create an ...
