Svedala Compaction Equipment, Karlskrona, Sweden.

Use of PZ6105R, a metal-cored wire specially devel-
oped for robotic welding, for the fabrication of frames
of vibratory road compactors.
Important wire properties are a good penetration and
tie-in, necessary to avoid fatigue cracking, excellent
feedability, and smooth arc ignition without burn-back
problems and low spatter.
Shown here is CA152, a universal frame for various
Dynapac compactors. Clearly visible is the characteris-
tic regular frequency at which slag islands are formed, re-
sulting from very stable arc properties. The close-up
(bottom) reveals an excellent weld appearance with easi-
ly removable slag.

welding wires
Contents page 4 The majority of the products described in this catalogue are classified according the fol-
lowing AWS classification systems. Note that metal-cored types for carbon steel and
stainless steel are included in the AWS classifications for solid wires and rods, whereas
other cored wire types are covered by separate AWS classifications.
Below, the coding system of these classifications are briefly described, explaining the
coding applying to the cored wires in this catalogue. For further information, readers are
referred to the appropriate AWS specifications.

a single pass, only.
An “M” indicates that the the electrode is classified using

75-80% Ar/balance CO2 shielding gas. When the “M”
does not appear, it signifies that either the shielding gas
used for classification is CO2 or that the product is self-shielded.
