In the Offshore Industry welding is being pushed by new demands to meet both material design criteria and increased production. Welded structures for different production platforms include; Jackup Rigs, Jacket Design, Compliant Towers, Semi Submersible and Spar Designs being the main focus.

For many years Lincoln has been developing high quality welding consumables for the Offshore Industry in combination with unique welding equipment. The knowledge gained from our R&D and application centres around the world has allowed us to offer you welding solutions that can improve quality & safety, reduce costs and increase speed. A Typical example of such innovation is the New Powerwave® 1000AC/DC for Subarc welding, where productivity is being taken to new levels.

For a wide range of Onshore / Offshore applications such as, Large Steel Tubular Steel Structures; Legs and braces; Pipe production; Topside and Processing equipment; Lincoln has a complete Offshore Consumable Matrix.

Materials include; Carbon Steel; Stainless Steel; Duplex and Super Duplex; Fully Austenitic and Super Austenitic; Nickel base.

The welding processes available for the above include; Powerwave® AC/DC Submerged Arc (1-2-3 arcs) Stick Electrode, FCW, INNERSHIELD®, MIG, GTAW and STT®

The Lincoln Electric Company has been involved in Global Offshore Welding construction for many years and has gathered a wealth of knowledge both in consumables and equipment. We have reliably provided these products to every corner of the world. Whichever country your next job is in, Lincoln stands ready with the products and support you need.

If you are involved in the Offshore Industry, ASK Lincoln about the new basic flux Lincolnweld® 888. Classified H4, its diffusible hydrogen level is lower than all its major competitive fluxes and gives you the best integrity weld and mechanical properties. Moreover, the superior slag removal capability of 888 will allow you to design tight grooves saving time and important quantities of weld metal. Furthermore, 888 efficiency in Multi arc configurations can offer you additional productivity improvement. In fact, by combining 888 flux and the Powerwave 1000 AC/DC, Lincoln has already successfully developed welding procedures with up to 4 arcs!

For applications requiring stress relieving, ASK Lincoln about the Latest HSR range of flux cored wires. For all temperature and strength requirements, Lincoln offers the right product fit that will bring excellent weldability and very low repair rates, enhancing productivity.
