Miller Electric Mfg. LLC and Hobart Brothers LLC have launched the new SubArc Hercules system, a combination of the XMT 450 SubArc Hercules power source, SubArc Hercules torch, and SubCOR metal-cored wire. According to the company, the system is designed to increase deposition rates and reduce welding time by an average of 30%.
The system produces weld beads with robust mechanical properties suitable for applications in the pressure vessel, process pipe, structural steel, shipbuilding, and wind tower industries. Applications include long multipass welds, large groove welds, high-speed fillet welds and lap joints, and weldments sensitive to high heat input.
