The innovative forceArc® technology for manual and automated applications

No seam preparation – full penetration

No need to spend time on welding bevels
Full penetration without welding bevels
Full penetration: Single layer welding – without the backing run that is usually required

This is particularly beneficial if a backing run is required for corrosion reasons, for example, as is the large metal thickness bandwidth, particularly with extremely thick sheets of metal.

Smaller included angle – fewer layers

High saving potential
Minimal weld seam preparation
Fewer layers
Less filler material and shielding gas consumption
Faster welding time
Weld pool backing for submerged arc welding

Prevention of undercuts

Outstanding seam quality with fillet welds, for example
Concave seam and therefore close to the ideal seam geometry

Particularly beneficial with dynamically loaded components, for example.

Small heat-affected zones due to narrow and concentrated arc

Less material distortion due to less heat input
Lower intermediate layer temperature and minimised change in structure

Particularly beneficial when welding fine-grained construction steel.

Secure root fusion with the ideal seam geometry

Extremely deep connection and therefore a possible reduction in the throat thickness or the seam cross-section
Better process reliability – easy, reliable handling
With varying torch angle settings
