0772306900 - ESAB ESW Strip Cladding Head 30-60mm Assembly

Industrial Surfacing Solution: ESAB ESW Head

Maximize your shop's cladding productivity with the ESAB ESW Strip Cladding Head 30-60mm. This heavy-duty welding head is the heart of any high-performance electroslag strip cladding setup. Designed specifically for the ESW process, it enables the deposition of wide, flat beads of stainless steel, Inconel, or other alloy materials onto base metals with exceptional speed and quality. The ESW process is renowned for its ability to achieve high deposition rates—often double that of submerged arc strip cladding—while maintaining dilution rates as low as 7-10%. This makes it the ideal tool for fabricators needing to meet strict chemistry requirements in fewer layers.

The versatility of the 0772306900 model lies in its ability to handle strip electrodes ranging from 30mm to 60mm in width. This flexibility means you can use a narrower 30mm strip for smaller diameter vessels or complex geometries, and switch to a 60mm strip for massive, open surface areas where maximum coverage speed is the goal. The head is engineered to manage the high amperage required to melt these wide strips continuously, featuring heavy-duty insulation and robust contact surfaces that resist overheating and wear.

Seamless Automation Integration

Designed for the rigors of the industrial environment, this cladding head integrates perfectly with ESAB's ecosystem of welding automation equipment, including power sources, control units, and travel carriages. The feeding mechanism provides positive traction on the strip without deforming it, ensuring consistent feed speeds which are critical for maintaining the stability of the electroslag pool. The open design allows the operator to easily monitor the strip entry and make necessary adjustments.

For maintenance teams, the design is intuitive. Wear parts are accessible and easy to replace, ensuring that your automation cell spends more time welding and less time in service. By utilizing the Electroslag process with this specialized head, you eliminate the arc, resulting in a quieter, cleaner working environment with virtually no spatter and easier slag removal. Invest in the ESAB ESW Strip Cladding Head to deliver superior overlay results on your most critical projects.
