We have exciting and very positive news to share with you! Today, we announced that our parent company Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX) intends to build on our strategic momentum by separating into two independent and publicly-traded companies—one business will focus on fabrication technologies (ESAB) and the other on specialty medical technologies (MedTech Co. and DJO). 

From a leadership perspective, I will continue as CEO of ESAB with our current team.  Together, we will continue to strengthen ESAB’s fabrication market leadership. ESAB expects to invest its significant free cash flow into growth-related capital investments, innovation, productivity and strategic acquisitions.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced its new Cutmaster® 40 manual plasma cutting system. It weighs 10 kg, offers a rated output of 40 amps at 35 percent duty-cycle and delivers a recommended cut and pierce capacity on 12 mm steel and can sever steel up to 16 mm. It uses 200 – 240VAC ± 10% 50/60 Hz 1ph main power and can run off a generator with at least 8kW.

“Head-to-head evaluations against leading competitors confirmed that the Cutmaster 40 delivers superior cutting performance and unprecedented power and mobility,” says Kris Scherm, Global Manual Plasma Business & Product Director, ESAB. “The arc stretch enables the unit to maintain cutting performance while cutting ...

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products today launched Rogue ET 180i and 200iP PRO, its new series of portable, powerful TIG/MMA inverters that feature ESAB’s next-level control technology to deliver professional arc performance. Its full-featured digital TIG controls include those for gas pre-flow, arc start current, end current, gas post-flow and HF (non-contact) or Lift-TIG arc starts.

Tipping the scales at 8.7 kg and 9.6 kg, respectively, Rogue ET 180i and 200iP PRO units are one-third lighter than competitive inverters in its class. Both units measure only 403 x 153 x 264 mm but deliver a maximum TIG output of 180A (180i) and 200A (200iP PRO) at 25% duty cycle and a stable TIG arc down ...

ESAB research results, published a technical paper in the April 2020 issue of Saudi Journal of Engineering & Technology, conclude that in the event of an imbalance of d (delta) ferrite and austenite volume fraction, the chemical composition of the phases may be very different from that of the alloy.

PREN values are a predictive measurement of a stainless steel's resistance to localised pitting corrosion based on its chemical composition. PREN is frequently specified when stainless steels will be exposed to seawater or other solutions with a high chloride concentration.

“We presented our customers with the science necessary to explain critical aspects of welding duplex, super ...
