Heavy Equipment Manufacturing – Durability & Efficiency
Share
Client: Agricultural Equipment Manufacturer, Midwest USA
Challenge:
The manufacturer required a filler metal that could deliver strong, durable welds for thick steel frames used in tractors and harvesting machines. Previous wires caused excessive downtime due to feeding issues and frequent tip changes.
Solution:
Xycore Inc recommended BLUME® Flux-Cored Wire (E71T-1C) for high-deposition welding with CO₂ shielding gas, ensuring strong welds on heavy plate sections.
Results:
-
40% Increase in Deposition Rate, boosting productivity.
-
Reduced downtime thanks to smooth feeding and stable arc.
-
Welds passed impact toughness testing at low temperatures, ensuring durability in harsh farm conditions.
-
Enhanced operator efficiency with easier slag removal and less cleanup.
Customer Quote:
“Our production lines became more efficient with BLUME® flux-cored wire. Welders loved its arc stability, and we loved the cost savings from fewer consumable changes and faster output.”
