We are one of the only companies who have taken wire welding to the field.  Wire is faster, better penetration, and has less waste to clean up.

Wire welding application offers us many advantages. The wire-welding process can be used any place that stick-electrode can be used. This makes it possible to carry out one-process welding in the erection of structural steel.

As proven on major high-rise projects, this factor is possibly just as important as the higher deposition rates of wire welding in reducing erection cost.

One-process welding substantially reduces the amount of equipment needed on a job and allows every welder to be qualified for every joint, permitting a more systematic deployment of men, equipment, and materials and reduces the delays and minimizes equipment handling.

One-process welding from tack-welding to column-splicing and beam-to-column welding gives erectors the opportunity to take systems-approach to erection logistics, with the result that cost savings above those attributable to the speed of wire welding process are realizable.

•   The deepest penetration occurs when straight CO2 gas shielding is used. This deep penetration results in an increase in the effective throat of a fillet joint.
•   When compared to stick-electrode welding, gives deposition rates up to four times as great, often decreasing welding cost by as much as 50 to 75%.
