Build better wind towers

Welding and cutting processes are a central element of wind tower production and as the demand for wind towers grows, manufacturers must consider the best methods for achieving increased productivity.

A new study from ESAB focuses on the production of wind towers and explains the methods with a special focus on welding and cutting.

It examines how various alternative production steps can be optimised and made more effective in order to contribute to overall production and profitability by higher throughput and/or cost savings.

The guide looks at the challenges involved including strength requirement, materials choices and flow layout variations. It also considers bead shape, speed, heatinput, consumables requirements and solutions and high productivity welding processes.
