Welding consumables Kobe Steel s welding consumables are produced under rigorous standards and famous for their high stable quality, ranging from covered electrodes to automatic / semi-automatic welding wire and flux with approximately eight hundred kinds. The excellence of their quality and service is highly appreciated by the broad area of industry, acquiring reputation that no other competitors ever come close to. 7
Welding consumables for stainless steels Kobe Steel s Welding consumables for stainless steels have superb corrosion resistance and heat resistance against diverse environments, providing extremely various uses. Covered electrodes have NC series that show advantages in stable arc and re-arc performance. Flux cored wires, which are highly efficient and easy to weld, have DW stainless series. Non-copper coated SE-series wires Our newly developed wire surface optimization technology provides outstanding wire feeding and stable arc performance. The copper-free plating technology established by Kobe Steel greatly contribute to the conservation of the global environment. (Z-Series) The Z-series wire reduces welding fumes and spatters by 30-40%, while maintaining such features as high efficiency and beautiful bead appearance. These products aim to make welding work conditions clean and safe. Welding consumables for heat-resistant low-alloy steels These welding consumables have been applied for many energy power plant such as desulfurization reactors, pressure vessels for atomic power reactors and high-temperature high-pressure boiler. Excellent crack resistant enables fabrication of thick heavy section. And good mechanical properties can be obtained after long term PWHT. Many kinds of consumables are prepared for steel type and welding process. Welding consumables 8
Arc welding robots The ARCMAN possesses more advanced welding skill than a man can possibly have with the advantage of high speed constant welding quality. Our various types of welding robot systems for steel column fabrication, bridge, construction machinery, etc. contribute significantly to unmanned welding. Our off-line teaching system, which has received high recognition in the industry, is the culmination of years of experience and unsurpassed welding procedure knowhow. 9 Ark welding robots
Welding power sources "The pulse of the arc was captured for the first time" describes what can be accomplished with the welding power source "SENSARC". An arc phenomenon that changes every ten thousand of a second is monitored in every hundred thousand of a second for prediction and control. The technology is responsible for the development of the world s first less spattering, high speed welding and free penetration control. Welding power sources 10
