Advancements in Hobart Self-Shielded Wires Benefit Transmission Pipeline Applications
New advancements in the formulation and manufacturing of self-shielded wires are benefiting transmission pipeline applications. In this video, Matt Steel, welding engineer at Miller Electric Mfg. Co. explains the techniques for using Hobart self-shielded wire and explains the benefits, including, but not limited to: easier out-of-position welding; easy slag removal for quicker clean-up times; good sidewall fusion and flat bead appearance for x-ray quality welds; and higher impact properties to meet the demands of pipeline jobs today.
