Product catalog summary

Introduction
The catalogue provides an overview of cored wires for joining applications, distinct from hardfacing products. The Welding Alloys Group, established in 1966, specializes in manufacturing cored welding wires using proprietary technology, with a focus on continuous R&D to meet international standards in industries like nuclear, petrochemical, and transport.

Commitment to Quality
The group is committed to quality, supported by an ISO-approved quality assurance system since 1993. This is reflected in strict production procedures, excellent customer service, and a focus on customer satisfaction, with significant investment in R&D to ensure product quality and performance.

Product Specifications
The catalogue details cored wires for various steel types:

Mild Steels: Products like SPEEDARC T4 and ROBOFIL T4 offer high deposition rates for horizontal welding and poorly fitted joints.
High Strength Steels: ROBOFIL M NiMo provides weld deposits for low-temperature applications with high toughness.
Creep-Resistant Steels: ROBOFIL M Mo is designed for high-temperature applications, offering oxidation and corrosion resistance.
Duplex and Lean Duplex Steels: TETRA S LD62 is suitable for joining lean duplex stainless steels, offering corrosion resistance comparable to standard austenitic grades.

Performance and Flexibility
The cored wires are compatible with various arc welding processes, power sources, and gas mixtures, offering high deposit rates, optimized arc time, and high welding speed, facilitating all-position welding.

Technical Information
The catalogue includes detailed technical specifications such as standard diameters, composition, mechanical properties, and suitable base materials, aiding in product selection for specific applications to ensure optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
