Orbital welding electrodes - ORBISTAR®

The standards for the quality of orbital welding seams are extremely high. In order to ensure they are met, a welding head orbits the round work piece on a circular path. This arc welding technology meets the required standards. The arc and welding seam are protected against external influences by inert shielding gases in this process, guaranteeing a reduced failure rate for the process along with very good reproducibility of welding processes, thereby considerably improving the product quality. Aside from the alloy composition, the electrode geometry is also important here since it has a significant influence on the welding result. The Gesellschaft für Wolfram Industrie mbH took this into account in the development of its two new ORBISTAR electrodes for orbital, tube and circular welding, designed in close cooperation with users. They set themselves apart with especially good surface quality, accurate point grinding and a precise longitudinal section.
