everything from giant trusses to box
columns. Many of Owen Steel’s building
drive cores are steel (v. concrete), which
can handle the multiple load variants
and large amount of weight demanded
by the complicated, mid and high rises
the company specializes in.
Lincoln’s UltraCore 71C wire is
specifically designed to deliver superior
consistency, reliability and performance
for these heavy-duty applications
utilizing 100-percent carbon dioxide. It
provides great flexibility on both single
and multiple pass welding applications,
including fillet, lap and butt welds. For
Owen Steel, one of the primary
distinguishing characteristics the
UltraCore wire has delivered is greatly
increased deposition rates.
“UltraCore’s long stickout procedures
have allowed us to maximize the
deposition rate, while giving our welders
better arc control,” explained Dexter
James, Owen Steel welding supervisor.
This extended stickout – up to 1-3/4” –
combined with high wire feed speeds
allow for higher deposition rates and arc
stability, while performance and weld
properties are maintained.
“It has also helped
reduce welder
fatigue, which our
guys really
appreciate,” James
added.
Mike Daley, Owen
Steel quality
assurance manager,
added that the
welders also
welcome the
decrease in spatter
provided by the
UltraCore wire:
“We’ve seen a
notable decrease in
spatter, clean up and rework. And with
its extremely tight tolerances, there is
less adjusting, less waste and greater
efficiency – all of which empowers our
welders to do their jobs faster without
sacrificing quality.”
“The UltraCore wire was the competitive
advantage we needed. It delivers
consistency, control and efficiency.
We’ve decreased downtime, clean up
and rework. We’re spending less time on
projects, while dramatically increasing
productivity,” Murciano summarized.
“Our customers benefit, as does our
welders and our bottom line.”
