North Bethesda, Md. (USA) – With the introduction of its B2 SC electrodes and fluxes for SMAW, GTAW and SAW of creep resistant, 1.25% Cr, 0.5% Mo alloyed steels, SA-387 Grade 1, ASTM A335 Grade P11 and similar materials, ESAB Corporation now offers a completely modernised line of filler metal formulations for chrome-molybdenum weldments in the refinery, petrochemical, power generation and pressure vessel applications. ESAB launched a line of B3 SC filler metals last year.  “ESAB B2 SC and B3 SC filler metals have very strict control of chemistry and very low levels of impurity elements. Weldments have an X-bar, or Bruscato Factor, of maximum 10 to reduce susceptibility to temper embrittlement,” ...

North Bethesda, Md. – ESAB Corporation (NYSE: ESAB) announced today the launch of InduSuite (InduSuite.com), a brand-agnostic portfolio of software applications that revolutionizes workflow, quality, and business performance, to help fabricators and manufacturers improve operational efficiency. InduSuite offers three key benefits for mixed fleet customers: simplicity for accessing data and documents with an easy-to-use interface; real-time insight into performance, traceability and workforce accountability; and an unprecedented level of control over metal fabrication operations. “The InduSuite portfolio helps our customers improve efficiency and quality at every step of the fabrication process, ...

ESAB has launched OK Autrod 2504, a ferritic stainless steel solid wire designed for MIG/MAG welding of automotive exhaust systems. Classified as an EN ISO 14343-A electrode, OK Autrod 2504 contains approximately 15 percent austenite, a high carbon content, no molybdenum, 4 percent nickel and 25 percent chromium (Cr) for welding similar metals and matching heat-resistant ferritic-austenite and ferritic steels. The recommended shielding gas is M12 EN ISO 14175.

“OK Autrod 2504 has excellent weldability and should be used when there is a need for good resistance to corrosion and thermal fatigue,” says Per-Åke Björnstedt, Global Product Manager MIG/TIG Stainless Steel & Nickel Alloys, ...

ESAB is proud to be the sole provider of welding equipment for Season One of Metal Shop Masters, a new Netflix reality TV series premiering globally on Friday, September 10, 2021. The show features seven competitors, five men and two women, who face off in elimination-style fabrication challenges (view series teaser video). At the end of six challenges, the last fabricator standing will have earned the title of Metal Shop Master and win a $50,000 prize. The show is hosted by Jo Koy, an award-winning comedian and star of several Netflix stand-up specials. “Every episode gives these distinguished fabricators, ...

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 ...
