Avesta Welding

At the start of the 60's, Avesta Welding was the first company in the world to offer AC/DC electrodes that, thanks to their good weldability, contributed to revolutionising the methods for welding stainless steel. In the beginning, the production method was simple and very much like that for making candles, i.e. the core wire was dipped in the mixt... ure that then formed the coating. With the development of new steel grades that require new filler metals, the number of ingredients in coatings has risen from the initial four or five per product to the current thirty or so. Research and development have always been extremely important elements in the company's electrode manufacturing operations. Avesta Welding now has a complete product programme that, as regards stainless steel applications, covers almost all customers' needs. The company has customers in all major segments of industry. Chief amongst these are the pulp and paper and the chemical industries, both of which make great use of stainless steel. Avesta Welding is at the forefront of the development of covered electrodes and flux cored wire (FCW). In recent years we have launched two entirely new product concepts that optimise welding properties in various positions. The electrode concept comprises 2D electrodes for flat welding, 3D for all-round welding and 4D, a special product for welding pipes. Our new range of stainless steel FCWs also employs the 2D, 3D concept. "Continuous improvement of our product offerings has always been the way we work. Now, as we celebrate 75 years, we will be reinforcing this and, to build further on our traditions, continuing to invest in production and product ranges. Keep an eye open for the results! says Jerker Roos, marketing manager at Avesta Welding. Avesta Welding can supply welding consumables that meet all the requirements placed on the steel in question. Our operations are highly focused on customer needs and wishes. Development is carried out in close collaboration with Outokumpu Stainless. A good example of ...Read More
