0155972880 - ESAB A6 Strip Cladding Conversion Kit 30-100mm

Maximize Surfacing Efficiency with the A6 Strip Cladding Kit

For professional welders and automation operators, the ESAB A6 Strip Cladding Kit represents the ultimate upgrade for heavy-duty surfacing jobs. If your shop handles large-scale overlay projects—such as cladding carbon steel rolls with stainless steel or hardfacing wear plates—feeding standard wire can be slow and inefficient. This kit allows you to convert your reliable ESAB A6 welding head to run strip electrodes up to 100mm wide. Strip cladding is the gold standard for covering large surface areas quickly while maintaining a smooth, flat bead profile that requires minimal post-weld machining.

The 30-100mm capacity gives you immense flexibility. You can run narrower strips for smaller diameters or intricate areas, and switch to wide 100mm strips for massive open surfaces to maximize travel speed and deposition. The kit is designed to ensure smooth feeding without slippage, which is crucial when running at the high amperages required for strip cladding. The contact jaws provide excellent conductivity, preventing overheating and ensuring a stable arc or electroslag pool. This stability is key to achieving the low dilution rates that make strip cladding so effective for corrosion-resistant barriers.

Using this kit transforms your A6 tractor or beam-mounted head into a dual-purpose machine. Instead of investing in a dedicated cladding machine that sits idle half the time, you can simply swap out the front-end components. The conversion is mechanical and robust, designed for the reality of the shop floor. Whether you are running submerged arc flux or using the electroslag process for high-speed deposition, this kit ensures your A6 head delivers the performance ESAB is known for. It allows you to bid on more complex surfacing contracts with the confidence that your equipment can handle the volume and quality requirements.
