Rapid Weld
Focussed spray arc with high deposition rate and deep penetration
Rapid Weld is a highly focussed spray arc that achieves penetration welding with sheet thicknesses of up to 6 mm. The longer stickout and the high arc pressure ensure optimum root capture and reliable penetration welding. For sheet thicknesses that require seam preparation with a bevel (HV seam), the bevel can be designed with a smaller opening angle. This can significantly reduce the number of layers required to fill the weld seam.

Materials
- Steel
- Coated sheet steel
- Heat-resistant steels
Your advantages
- Cost savings from 5 mm material thickness due to deep penetration thanks to high arc pressure
- Lower seam preparation costs for sheet thicknesses over 5 mm thanks to smaller opening angle
- Narrower bevel opening angle reduces the number of layers and thus reduces the welding time
- Increased efficiency due to less material and lower energy costs
