Improving the competitiveness of the European Steel fabrication industry using synchronised tandem wire welding technology

Objective

The European steel fabrication industry needs to continuously assess developments in welding to remain competitive. Arc welding is a widely used process in this industry. Recently there have been advances in arc welding equipment technology, which has allowed the introduction of a process known as synchronised tandem wire arc welding.

Preliminary work on this process shows benefits to weld quality at reduced cost compared to established arc welding processes. It is proposed to investigate this welding process, and any others that can use the technology, with a view to providing guidelines on use and to quantify benefits over other established processes.
