Cleveland – Lincoln Electric^® officially announces its new Process HDT solution for the heavy fabrication industry. Developed for high-deposition robotic applications, this new innovative solution doubles the deposition rates typically seen in single-wire processes. By combining a new high-deposition waveform with a specially formulated metal-cored wire, Process HDT delivers deposition rates that exceed Tandem MIG applications, but with the streamlined set-up of a single-wire application.

Utilizing the Power Wave^® S700 Power Source, Metalshield^® HDT^™ Metal-Cored Wire and licensed Process HDT Waveform¹, Process HDT provides a complete GMAW-C solution for high-deposition, multi-pass welding applications. Developed to be a simple, cost effective solution, Process HDT can provide single-wire deposition rates in excess of 35 lb/hr (16 kg/hr) while eliminating the complexity of Tandem MIG.

The Metalshield HDT metal-cored wire was designed specifically for providing a smooth, controlled droplet transfer and reduced spatter in high-amperage applications. It is formulated to resist porosity as well as offer excellent weld profiles and good toe wetting for fatigue resistant welds.

“Fabricators continue to be challenged with producing more and improving quality without introducing added complexity into their welding operations, says Troy Gurkin, Global Industry Segment Director- Heavy Fabrication. “Process HDT provides a solution for that challenge, delivering the ultimate combination of automated high-deposition welding and ease of application all while driving productivity levels that exceed Tandem MIG at a fraction of the cost and complexity.”

¹Process HDT^™ Activation Capability with Power Wave^® Systems
Your purchase of a Lincoln Power Wave Welding System comes with (i) a license to use Lincoln Electric standard Power Wave waveforms, and (ii) Process HDT waveform capability, which requires the purchase of premium Metalshield^® HDT^™ wire or purchase of a separate license. Unless one of these is purchased, the Process HDT waveform will not be available for use on these machines, and only the standard Power Wave waveforms are usable.
