WiseSteel – Quality and Productivity for MAG Welding of Structural Steel

5 September 2021

Welding equipment faces raised expectations due to more demanding base materials. In the welding of stronger steel grades, Kemppi has optimized arc control as a practical solution. WiseSteel is a MAG welding process developed by Kemppi for welding structural steel. The process can reduce the risk of welding defects at high welding speeds. It also enables the use of the low heat input required for stronger steel grades.
