Pushing the Productivity Envelope with Tandem Gas Metal Arc Welding EWI is leading the development of new applications for tandem gas metal arc welding (T-GMAW) to achieve dramatic increases in welding productivity as compared with conventional arc welding techniques.
  • Significant increases in travel speed and deposition rate, as well as a reduction in heat input have been achieved when welding in the 1G, 2G, 4G, and 2F positions.
  • A wide range of applications have been studied, ranging from welding of sheet metals at travel speeds up to 200 inches per minute to narrow-groove welding of five inch thick sections.
