Huntingdon Fusion Techniques huntingdonfusion.com (800) 4311311 Wire Useful for Pipe Seam Applications The Lincolnweld® Emergence™ is a noncopper-coated submerged arc wire for pipe seam applications with a proprietary surface treatment to protect material and perform the same as copper-coated wires in the same alloy class. It can help welders avoid common processing flaws that can lead to costly repairs and excess scrap. The elimination of surface copper in the wire decreases the risk of weld contamination. The wire may double 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 lincolnelectric.com (888) 9353876 Video Illustrates Pipe Fitting Prototype Tools The Navy Metalworking Center has produced a brief video highlighting the results of a recent project that developed manufacturing methods to reduce the cost of producing pipe welds on Navy ships. The video illustrates a number of prototype tools that improve pipe fitting, welding, and installation on several naval platforms. The developed pipe-production tools and technologies are expected to reduce the cost of manufacturing thin-wall piping system components at Ingalls Shipbuilding.
