 Demanding industries

Demanding industries
voestalpine Bhler Welding is a strategic supplier of filler metals to
demanding industries in North America, serving them with best-
in-class products and valuable application support. We have spe-
cialists for all target segments who understand your specific chal-
lenges and give support in finding optimum welding solutions.
Thermal power
voestalpine Bhler Welding develops creep resistant and high
temperature filler metals, including products for Advanced Super
Critical Power Stations. Very well received in North America are
our flux-cored wires for P91 and P92 creep resistant steels for
which long term creep data is available. Awide range of products
for heat resistant/high temperature applications complement our
program.
Oil and gas
Our products can be found in every field of oil and gas production
and processing. For the oil & gas upstream segment, we supply a
complete range of filler materials for all applied welding process-
es covering the various strength levels, most of which are low-
hydrogen falling in AWS class H4. Part of these is our vast range
of seamless cored wires which offer the best possible protection
against hydrogen induced or hydrogen assisted cracking. Rele-
vant to both oil & gas upstream and downstream is our complete
range of 1% Ni-alloyed welding consumables with all-weld met-
al Ni-content kept below 1% to ensure conformance with the
NACE MR0175 requirement for SSC safe service in sour environ-
ments. In addition, our program features a vast range of filler
metals all grades of duplex stainless steel and for Ni-base alloys,
including CRA cladding solutions.
LNG
voestalpine Bhler Welding has been involved in the LNG indus-
try from the very beginning with advanced products and welding
procedures for the safe and efficient construction of typical LNG
transport, storage and handling installations, such as:
LNG carriers, tanker trucks and rail tank cars
Regasification terminals and large cryogenic storage tanks
Liquefaction trains and short LNG pipelines
Our range of LNG welding consumables covers all main arc weld-
ing processes and construction materials commonly used in the
fabrication of LNG installations, such as non-alloyed CMn steel,
5-9% Ni low-temperature steel, austenitic stainless steel, dissimi-
lar joints, nickel-base alloys and aluminium.

components and on-site welding of buildings, bridges, masts,
highway structures and other civil constructions. A vast range of
stick electrodes and gas and self-shielded cored wires, including
types certified for seismic applications according to AWS D1.8.,
allow the productive, manual out-of-position welding. Extra
moisture resistant stick electrodes in vacuum packaging or her-
metically sealed cans and seamless cored wires give optimum
protection against moisture reabsorption when used outdoors
and thereby protection against hydrogen cracking in all US cli-
mate zones.
Pipeline construction
Material specifications play a crucial role in the success and in-
tegrity of on and offshore pipeline construction, especially in low-
temperature and sour service applications. voestalpine Bhler
Welding offers a full range of cellulosic, and basic vertical-down
and vertical-up electrodes, as well as solid, flux and metal-cored
