The Next Wave of Pipe Seam Submerged Arc Welding : Lincolnweld Emergence from Lincoln Electric
Non-copper coated submerged arc wire for pipe seam applications has proprietary surface treatment to improve wire conductivity
Lincoln Electric ® has developed the next generation of consumable technology – Lincolnweld ® Emergence™ – to help welders avoid common processing flaws , which can lead to costly repairs and excess scrap .
Lincolnweld Emergence is a non-copper coated submerged arc wire with a proprietary surface treatment to protect material and perform the same as copper coated wires in the same alloy class . It also improves wire conductivity over competitive non-copper coated wire . Additionally , the elimination of surface copper in Emergence decreases the risk of weld contamination .
The right selection of contact tip and wire is critical to maintaining an optimal production process . Emergence wire doubles the life of contact tips , which means consistent arc starts , wire placement and weld deposit , and less downtime and lost production due to frequent change outs . Lincoln Electric ’ s contact tips and Emergence wire deliver the performance that welders expect to keep their production process operating at a high level .
Emergence is part of a comprehensive product line to support every pipe seam application . The exact wire composition of Lincoln Electric ’ s copper coated wires makes requalification for welding procedures controlled by classification easy .
