HIGH PRODUCTIVITY FULL WELDING SOLUTION FOR CRANE AND LIFTING TECHNOLOGY

voestalpine Böhler Welding Italia S.r.l. has once again demonstrated the great application support and know-how transfer to increase the productivity when welding fillet joints of high-strength steels together with the company MTS S.r.l.

MTS, based in Turin area, manufactures components for earthmoving and lifting equipments, made
of carbon steel, high and very high resistance low-alloy steels, from S355 J2+N type to grade S1100.

THE CHALLENGE
First of all it is always essential to understand the actual customer requirements and to evaluate the welding situation. As such, voestalpine Böhler Welding focused on the most used applications in MTS, i.e. fillet welds of basements, frames and beams made of S690 QL and S 700 MC with thicknesses ranging
from 7 to 40 mm.
voestalpine Böhler Welding proposed to MTS improvements in both semi-automatic and robotic welding by using the RapiDeep process and optimizing the behavior of the electric arc thanks to Böhler Welding consumables and the Böhler Arc welding programs. Of utmost importance was the selection of the optimal welding parameters to increase productivity while improving the weld quality to avoid rework.
