This Month’s new product offerings are all related to welding. If you’d like to learn more about how to leverage welding to shorten your steel project schedule, see “Accelerated Welding” on page 32.
Hobart FabCO Triple 7
The FabCO Triple 7 gas-shielded flux-cored wire builds on a proven formulation and now offers expanded mechanical properties. In addition to the American Welding Society (AWS) E71T-1 C/M H8 classification the wire previously held, it now also meets the requirements for an AWS E71T-9 C/M H8 classification. Users can continue to expect the consistent performance Triple 7 wire is known for as a T-1 product while gaining the opportunity to address T-9 applications without extra inventory. The T-9 designation provides greater impact strengths at low temperatures for critical jobs: 20 ft-lb at -20 °F. The new wire excels at welding with mixed gases (75% to 85% argon/CO2 balance) and is also usable with straight CO2.

Miller ArcReach Heater
The new ArcReach Heating System allows contractors to insource weld joint preheating and bakeout, improving productivity and profitability. The system uses ArcReach-enabled welding power sources that many contractors already have on-site. With induction heating, the system can bring a joint to temperature four times faster than preheating with flame. It can also deliver savings, as contractors typically spend $15 per hour for flame fuel consumed in preheating; the system can help contractors see a return on their investment by the 11th joint they preheat. The system is designed for job-site weld preheating and bakeout with temperature maximums of 600 °F.

Cerbaco Flexback Conformable Weld Backing
Cerbaco, Ltd.’s new pliable weld backing is designed for use in CJP open-root welding. This new technology provides full support for a weld puddle and produces a symmetrical back bead while conforming to any geometry. Suitable for use with MIG, TIG, flux-core, and stick electrode welding processes, the backing is intended for general purpose use as well as unique applications where rigid ceramic backings cannot be used. Flexible, pliable, user-friendly, it can satisfy most of your CJP welding needs.
