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.
