When the FABTECH International & AWS Welding Show hits McCormick Place in Chicago on November 15-18, ESAB will be there with a championship display of welding and cutting capabilities. This annual event brings together more than 1000 exhibitors and an expected 35,000 attendees and features thousands of live equipment demonstrations. This year, ESAB will demonstrate that we are the “undisputed champion” of welding and cutting with numerous new products and solutions for all applications from manual to high production automated lines. Our “heavyweight” booth, #34043, will feature solutions for automation, submerged arc welding and other high production applications. Our “middleweight” booth, #40035, will focus on manual equipment and solutions for smaller shops and individual welders. Visit both booths, take the “tour” and demo some equipment and you’ll be registered for a chance to win a Wii and a Mike Tyson knock-out game. Join us in Booth #34043 on Monday, November 16, at 2:30 pm for a special birthday celebration for our Marathon Pac. We’ve been offering welding wire in this innovative bulk package since 1989. We were the first to offer you this economical and productive solution for non-stop welding, and we intend to continue to pioneer innovative packaging solutions for many years to come. Over the years, the Marathon Pac and Endless Drum™ system have helped countless customers improve their productivity by decreasing the number of interruptions needed to change to a new package of wire. Come join us for cake and celebration!

 Last year, ESAB's Coreshield 8 was used to revitalize this very famous stadium, and turn it into the place it is today. If you are one of the first five people to correctly identify this stadium, you will win an ESAB jacket to help you battle the cold winter weather! |

Troy Scherer built this unusual toilet scooter as a fun at-home project in his spare time. This inventive, albeit hilarious, project features an all aluminum chassis and aluminum treadbright fenders. The 36-volt electric transaxle was taken from a mobility scooter. All parts were cut with ESAB’s HandyPlasma 250 and welded with the Migmaster 250. |

Metal-cored wires provide a high deposition rate. Once they realize the ramifications of this high deposition, many welders try to pour as much metal into the joint as possible. This can lead to problems. One of the biggest problems welders encounter when they convert to metal-cored wires for multiple pass weld joints is that they tend to “ride” the puddle rather than staying on the leading edge of the puddle. This results in inadequate penetration, and in some cases, failed radiographs or UT inspections. |
