FASTER WELDING ON FIELD

Product catalog summary
Overview
Lincoln Electric's Innershield® is a self-shielded flux-cored wire welding process designed for outdoor applications. It offers advantages over traditional stick welding by reducing costs and increasing productivity, eliminating the need for gas bottles, and performing well in windy conditions.
Specifications and Process
Innershield® wires are suitable for applications such as structural steel, shipbuilding, and pipelines. The semi-automatic, gas-less process allows for continuous welding with fewer defects, especially beneficial in high wind speeds.
Advantages
  • Eliminates gas cylinder needs, reducing rental and maintenance costs.
  • Performs well in windy conditions without losing mechanical properties.
  • Higher deposition rates and productivity compared to stick welding.
  • Effective under various environmental conditions, including contaminated surfaces.
Applications
  • Steel structures
  • Offshore and shipbuilding
  • Field maintenance and pipelines
  • Heavy plate and general fabrication
Product Range
Innershield® offers a variety of wires for different materials and welding positions, available in various diameters and packaging options.
Quality Control and Standards
Innershield® wires undergo strict quality control and are classified according to EN ISO 17632, meeting international standards for use in demanding environments.
Cost and Efficiency
Switching to Innershield® can result in significant cost and time savings, offering up to 55% time savings and 42% cost reduction for 1000 meters of weld per year.
Conclusion
Innershield® provides a comprehensive solution for outdoor welding, offering high productivity, cost savings, and adaptability to challenging conditions.
Additional Applications
Suitable for fillet and lap welds, horizontal and square edge butt welds, deep groove welds, structural fabrication, and weathering steels. Effective for low alloy steel in flat and horizontal positions and mild steel in all positions except vertical down.
Specific Specifications
  • Pipeline: Pipeliner® NR®-208-XP for vertical down welding of up to X80 grade pipe, with impact toughness exceeding 122 J at -40°C.
  • Offshore: Innershield® NR®-440Ni2 for optimal weldability in narrow TKY joints, providing low temperature impact toughness.
  • Rail Track: Innershield® NS-3M offers versatile welding capabilities with easy slag removal.
Selection Criteria
Products are selected based on mechanical properties and welding positions, ensuring flexibility and adaptability.
Equipment and Accessories
Lincoln Electric offers equipment like Speedtec® 180C/200C, Flextec® 350X, and Vantage® 410, designed for ease of use and flexibility. CrossLinc® Technology enhances safety and productivity.
Industrial Applications
Used in oil/water storage tanks and steel piling, offering improved productivity and reduced welding time.
Cost Efficiency
Mechanization with Innershield® significantly reduces costs and improves productivity compared to manual welding processes.
Global Presence
Lincoln Electric operates globally with numerous solution centers and a strong R&D team, committed to meeting customer needs.
