In production welding, all or most of the variables can be controlled. They have complicated jigs and positioners, perfect joint design, and the work is repetitious so that the welders become expert on the limited number of operations they make. Additionally, they always know the exact analysis of the clean, new base metal they are welding.
The maintenance man has a much more difficult job… maintenance is a now situation
There is no time to build jigs and fixtures. The maintenance man usually has to weld dirty, greasy metals and often he does not know the analysis of the base metal. He seldom knows what repair he will have to make next, yet has to be prepared to fix any breakdown, whether the metal is cast iron, high carbon steel or aluminum.
SHUBER Welding Alloys have been developed through intense research to simplify the maintenance man’s problems. SHUBER Welding Alloys provide you with exceptional versatility, outstanding physical properties and greater ease of application.
SHUBER Welding Alloys take the guesswork out of maintenance because they have been designed to compensate for the more difficult maintenance conditions.
Ordinary electrode coatings provide no control of the heat energy or metal flow in the arc and transfer the metal in globular form.
Shuber Coatings form a “Plasma Action” at the tip of the electrode controlling the molecular velocity and increasing the stability of the arc.
Shuber’s “PLASMA ACTION” Coatings completely change the characteristics of the arc.
