Submerged Arc welding tip

The uniform dispersion of ultra-fine AL2O3 particles makes ARTRODE a suitable choice for serving in severe conditions. When high conductivity and wear resistance are required (especially at elevated temperatures) ARTRODE exhibits outstanding performance.

The uniform dispersion of ultra-fine AL2O3 particles makes ARTRODE a suitable choice for serving in severe conditions. When high conductivity and wear resistance are required (especially at elevated temperatures) ARTRODE exhibits outstanding performance. For example contact tips in submerged arc welding need to have low electrical resistance, high thermal conductivity, wear resistance and structure stability at high temperatures. ARTRODE fulfills all of these requirements and can be an excellent substitute for the well-established alloys such as Beryllium-Copper or Chromium-Zirconium-Copper. It shows at least double lifetime as compared to Cu-Cr-Zr and contact tips made from Beryllium-Copper have been successfully replaced by ARTRODE-11 in submerged arc welding of pipes for oil and gas industry resulting in lower cost and longer lifetime.
