1 Benefits of MIG WELD Aluminium Wires

2 Our History over 30 years Established in 1986 ; MIGWELD has always manufactured Aluminium welding wires. In more than 30 years of activity the company was able to consolidate its position on the world market, thanks to the continuous improvement of the quality and of the performances of its products. MIGWELD in many Markets is considered as the reference for high quality and productivity welding Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 2

3 Facts and Figures Staff: 40 people Yearly Turn Over: > 1500 Tons of Wire and Rods Market: > 90% Export in 48 countries across the world Being located in the middle of western europe MIGWELD has a central position within the most industrialized countries of our continent. In fact we export more than 90% of our production Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 3

4 Our Products Our Product portfolio spans from 1000 to 5000 series alloys. Including 2000 series alloys. We are able to deliver the standard diameters between 0.8 mm up to 2,4 mm, but on request we are able to manufacture customized diameters for special applications.

5 Wire diameter tolerance According to the EN ISO 544 standards, the maximum diameter tolerance of the wire for metal shielding gas welding is set at +0.01/-0.04 mm. These limits being fully used would lead to an alteration of more than 8 % of the cross section of the wire. In the welding process this means the speed of the wire feeder has to be corrected with up to 8 % to keep the same processing properties. MIG WELD keeps tolerances steadily around +0.0/0.02 mm thus limiting the highest wire feed speed deviation to 3.31 %. Diameter deviation [mm] Cross section area deviation [mm 2 ] 1,21 +0,83% 1,15 +1,65% 1,20 0,00% 1,13 0,00% 1,18-1,67% 1,09-3,31% 1,16-3,33% 1,06-6,56% Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 5

8 Our Driver : The productivity The packaging is a K-Factor to achieve the highest productivity and flexibility. MIGWELD offers a wide range of different solutions Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 8

9 Our Driver : The productivity A wide range of spools allows our customer to adapt the quantity of wire in usage to their final product output. TIG welding rods S11 0,5KG B400 18KG S200 2KG B300 7KG S300 6KG BS300 7KG Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 9

10 Robust attractive convenient packaging Further we have a unique system decoiling system to run 40 kg wire basket. This decoiling system has many benefits for users, like - the Aluminium wire doesn t tangling, doesn t has twisting issues NO DOWNTIME because of the above mentioned reasons in the production - well tempered Aluminium wire (no humidity inside the decoiling system) - easy to install - the wire will come always perfect straight out of the contact tip. Very important for Laser welding / brazing applications and long longitudinal welding seams. Many OEM in the transport segments like automotive, motorbike, railroad, aviation and trailer business using this system. B400 40KG Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 10

11 Robust attractive convenient packaging Reliable and continuously spool in, in recyclable bulk drums for manual and automatic welding. The volumes starting from 40 kg until 250 kg for high productivity welding. This packaging, made out of hard carton is very rigid and excuse a tough treatment in the work shop. The diameter of the drums are Diameter Drum [mm] Weight [kg] No confusion by reading the emboss of the alloy from the TIG rods Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 11

12 Superior quality MIG wires & TIG rods from a Global quality Aluminium wire manufacturer End customers in Aluminium welding fabrication around the world, appreciate the consistently high quality, high productivity and high reliability Aluminium welding wires and rods from MIG WELD SAS in Longvic (France), because of: - Trouble-free wire feeding, - X-Ray quality weld capability, - Robust attractive convenient packaging, - Automation precision/productivity products, - Consistent uniform welding parameters, - Tightly controlled wire chemistries, - The right product mix for local market needs, - Readily accessible technical support - Unrivaled customer satisfaction End customers who are using the MIG WELD Aluminium welding wires and rods for their production increasing their profit from the beginning on, because of the trouble free products Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 12

13 Trouble-free feeding Trouble-free feeding, due to smooth wire surface, free from flaking or shaving regardless of liner or gun cable length. When you find such a welding wire surface like from our competitor, your productivity will dropping down dramatically due lots of shaving Result: change of liner and contact tip frequently Porosity will be an issue too, because of unstable arc, which will clock the liner soon or later totally. Better is to use MIG WELD wires. We guarantee you, freedom from the above mentioned issues Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 13

14 X-Ray quality weld capability X-Ray quality weld capability, due of an excellent clean welding wire surface. Results are no porosity in the welding seams. Independent the welding position. Here is a nice comparison after a smoke test. You can see at left wire residue of combustion. The right wire is the MIG WELD quality. Very clean wire surface. No residue of combustion. That means, no porosity in your welds Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 14

15 Automation precision / productivity products Automation precision / productivity products, no rework due poor welding wire surface, which has the consequence of, of clogging the liner, unstable arc, porosity in the welds, Cast diameter at the 5XXX series alloy is important. Is the cast to small (Ø mm) a increased contact tip wear and an increased friction in the liner is predicted. MIG WELD recommend a diameter from mm. In summary - lots of downtime. A customer complain is a foreign word for us. We delivering thousand of tons of material all over the globe, without any quality issue. Competitor ER mm, Cast Ø 320 mm MIG WELD ER mm, Cast Ø > mm Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 15

16 Tightly controlled wire chemistries Results of our material specifications are always high mechanical values in tensile and yield strength as well as in elongation Parent Material 5083 H111 Filler Material ER ,6 mm The right product mix for local market needs, We have a complete range of filler alloys and accessories to assist you in your daily business Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 16

17 Readily accessible technical support We are there where you are. We will assist you while your application until you are satisfied. from here till there Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 17

18 In questions of approvals and certificates We have a comprehensive amount of approvals for our customers worldwide. We have the VdTÜV Approval for alloy Fit for cryogen applications till 196 C Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 18

19 Speed Pac the cost saving clearly represented The MIG WELD Bulk package are made to allow users to get the maximum return of their money in manual, mechanized and robotized welding. The table on the next page, gives you an overview of real cost savings when comparing different bulk packages with 7kg, 20 kg or 40 kg Aluminium wire spools. Welding station downtime for spool exchange depends on several different factors as the set up (reachability of the wire feeding system), liner / torch length and distance to the place where the spools and bulk packages are stored. The wire exchange time is at every product different due the different set up. Stable feeding and straight wire delivered from a bulk package delivers a good positioning, good penetration, less spatters, good appearance and less post weld repair. Further, no unfinished work pieces or rejects due to abrupt spool wire ends are largely avoided with bulk packages from MIG WELD. All this results together reduce manual rework effort and repair work costs Property of MIGWELD S.A.S.U. Longvic France 19
