Case Studies of Solving Problems
Problem: Welding Zinc-coated Steel Plates

Problem: Welding Zinc-coated Steel Plates

Problems faced by customers

■Large amounts of spatter generated with normal CO₂ welding.

■Welding defects such as blowholes.

Solution: Apply Zi-Active Software, the Optimal Solution for Galvanized Welding.

Welding method: MTS-CO₂ (standard) Base metal: Mild steel, Plate thickness: 2.3 mm, Wire diameter: ϕ1.2 mm. Welding current: 170 A, Welding speed: 50 cm/min

Adding optional software “Zi-Active” to Super Active TAWERS minimizes spatter and blowholes.

Result : Realize Much Less Spatter and No Defects Welding
