Perfect Welding

Cladding

Chemical load, wear and corrosion cause problems for metal components. Using overlay welding of additional special alloys, also known as cladding, however, components can be protected and therefore their service life can be increased. This is a technologically challenging process. Fronius offers modern systems and tailored welding processes for this purpose, which help the user to ensure the necessary high level of quality.

ULTRA FAST OVERLAY WELDING SpeedClad 2.0

A new dimension in cladding

In comparison with SpeedClad Twin, the new cladding process only requires one electrode and one wire for the same or quicker welding speeds. Considerably fewer wear parts and less maintenance work are clear benefits of this process.

In addition, the much slimmer welding torch allows for the cladding of small interior diameters.

Why is SpeedClad 2.0 worthwhile?

Waste 2 Energy



Membrane walls

Overlay welding to increase the corrosion resistance of membrane walls in power plants and waste incinerators. A special device is used to tension the component and bring it into a vertical position. The trolley, which is guided on a gear rack, moves the two CMT welding heads safely and precisely over the entire weld length. Each welding torch is located on a linear oscillating unit and can be positioned manually using motorized carriages and adjustment units. More about membrane walls


Heat exchanger pipes

Overlay welding system with HMI-T10 system controls for mechanized CMT exterior overlay welding of heat exchanger pipes, which are used in power plant construction and waste incinerators. A safety light grid guarantees optimum protection of personnel during the welding process. More about heat exchanger pipes
