1) Edge drying is recommended at 60 C directly before welding, see also Technical Terms of Delivery of voestalpine Grobblech GmbH.
2) Pre-heating according to EN 1011-2 is recommended for complex welded structures (such as out-of-position welds, high number of weld seams, ...), depending on plate thickness and H2 consumption.
3) An interpass temperature below 150 C is recommended for special requirements in strength and toughness of the weld metal and in the weld joint.
4) Measured cooling time t8/5 (seconds) by means of thermocouple submerged into the melt.

The alform welding system provides best results during the GMAW welding of heavy plates. The welded joint in
thermomechanically rolled base materials and high-strength filler metals guarantees high strength and excellent
toughness.
