Steyr finally found the solution
they needed in cold metal transfer
(CMT), the ‘cold’ welding process
developed by Fronius.
The CMT welding process
significantly reduces the heat
input in comparison to other MIG/
MAG processes. The secret lies
in the digital process control,
which automatically detects
short circuits and then helps to
detach the droplet by retracting
the wire: during welding, the wire
moves forward and is pulled back
again as soon as the short circuit
occurs. As a result, the arcing
phase is very short and the heat
input reduced.
Using this process, the energy
input can also be continuously
adapted to suit the component
to be welded. Users benefit from
spatter-free material transfer and
optimum welding results. CMT
is therefore ideal for welding
steel joints using CO2 and other
shielding gases. It is also intended
for use in the joining of steel and
aluminium, as the steel base
material is only wetted by these
braze-welded joints and does
not melt. This means it perfectly
meets the requirements for use in
the automotive industry.
OUTSTANDING
RESULTS FROM
AN EXCEPTIONAL
PROCESS
With the help of the CMT welding
process and by optimising the
welding wire, Magna Steyr has
developed a technology for joining
steel and aluminium efficiently
and reliably. Being able to set the
welding parameters precisely
keeps the intermetallic phase
thinner than ten micrometres.
The mechanical properties of the
joint meet all the requirements
placed on them. Compared to
conventional processes, CMT also
offers the advantage that welding
no longer needs to be carried out
on both sides, but now only on
one side, which lowers costs and
reduces the workload. Additional,
expensive joining processes such
as punch riveting also become a
thing of the past – leading to even
greater cost-effectiveness.
