Welding SCS
More uniform, stronger welds ... reduced welding fumes ... less filler wire required. SCS gives you all of these advantages.
And more! Welding SCS saves time – no wiping off excess oil or grinding off rust or scale to prepare the surface. With the ultra-clean SCS surface there's fewer contaminants to degrade weld integrity. This means stronger welds and fewer rejects, including seam welded tubes made from SCS coil.
- SCS spot welds tested 20% stronger than HRPO
- Optimal SCS welds may use up to 30% less filler wire.
"With the clean SCS surface, our weld beads are more uniform with less spatter . . . a good weld was tricky with HRPO – not with SCS"
Welder settings and choice of filler wire and shielding gas to get the best results with SCS are available. Download SCS Welding Guidelines below:
A manufacturer of rail cars replaced hot rolled
black with SCS. They report: (1) "undercut" weld
defects eliminated, (2) 35-50% reduction in repairs
of seam welds, (3) big reductions in weld porosity,
(4) pre-weld edge wire brushing was nearly eliminated.
A job shop making parts for ag-equipment OEMs
replaced their 10 gauge P&O with SCS. The welders
say SCS cleanliness prevents sheet slippage they
get with P&O and greatly reduces weld fumes. SCS
also plasma cuts and punches better.
A farm implement manufacturer had intended to
install a ventilation system to exhaust the hazardous
excess smoke that results from welding P&O material.
SCS, with its absence of oil, has solved this problem.
