carbofil gold - Oerlikon, the expert for industrial welding

CARBOFIL GOLD
Solid MAG wire for welding structural
steels with MHC technology.
The new wire for enhanced productivity.

Current
What is required when MAG welding?
✔ Arc stability
✔ Excellent feeding properties of the wire
✔ Low spatter
✔ Good start and stop characteristics
✔ Low consumption of contact tips
In the industrial sectors of automotive and transport,
manufacturing, pipe welding, steel buildings and structural
steel works are required highly reliable welding consumables
for use without compromise during welding.

Our proposition
The results of our research teams…
■ CARBOFIL GOLD are the new solid wires
developed by our Welding Research Centre
(CTAS) for mild steel and carbon manganese steel
applications to increase your productivity.
■ The CARBOFIL GOLD wire series represents the
sum of our experience in solid wire production,
Germany technology, reliability and our R&D studies.
…and of our dedicated German plant:
■ The GOLD wire series is produced in our
manufacturing plant located in Germany with
a dedicated production
system that guarantees
excellent product
quality. Wire quality
means not only a
colour on the surface,
but also what is under
the coating because
this is the difference.
A new drawing process:
the GOLD drawing process
■ CARBOFIL GOLD wires are produced in our plant
where a new drawing process has been
developed that is able to guarantee a low content
of elements associated with arc instability.
■ Additionally, the GOLD drawing process produces
a wire rod surface which is extremely clean and
hence a coating
treatment of
outstanding quality
and adherence.
Bending test for adherence
coating control
■ Air Liquide Welding Research Centre has invested
considerable resources in the last 3 years to
fundamentally investigate how to increase weldability
performance in MAG applications and how to produce
a product that combines a high weldability
performance, product quality and easy handling for
welders.

Customer's testimonies
"The exceptional arc stability of this wire
gives a highly consistent welding quality"
"The wire is easy to weld and the welders
now choose the CARBOFIL GOLD wire
because it makes their life easy”
"The low spatter speeds up weld cleaning"
"The start and stop characteristics are very
soft producing a consequently good bead
aspect."
"The high quality of wire is always
consistent"

CARBOFIL GOLD
MHC: Metallic Hybrid Coating
Characteristics that make the difference
Exceptional arc stability, the GOLD wire shows less variance in current than standard wires on the market.
A very low presence of spatter, that can be removed very easily.
These exceptional characteristics of the CARBOFIL GOLD
wires are the results of the innovative MHC (Metallic Hybrid
Coating) surface coating produced by the innovative GOLD
drawing process.
■ The surface treatment of the solid wire surface by metallic alloys gives confidence
of excellent electrical contact, protection from moisture and a surface free from
residuals of chemical process which can result in impaired welding characteristics
■ In addition to these quality enhancements, the new hybrid coating treatment
developed for CARBOFIL GOLD wires gives exceptionally good feeding
characteristics due to the reduction of the glide force through the liner and the
controlled thickness of the coating. The high adherence of the coating reduces
peeling and clogged liners.
■ The final result is that contact tip wear is reduced, with consequently less down time.
A reduced metallic coating level in the welding fumes
■ The new hybrid coating treatment allows the metallic content in the welding fume
to be reduced, in relation to the main competitor products, without decreasing the
level of protection and functionality of the coating.
■ Conditions of the test:
✔ Automatic welding on S355 sheet – 18mm
thickness (turning disc) with wire diameter 1.2 mm
✔ Semi automatic welding with cooled torch TR 400
✔ I = 300A
✔ Wire feed speed = 11 m/min
✔ Contact tip distance = 20 mm
✔ Welding speed = 40 cm/min
✔ Shielding gas: ATAL 5A (Ar/CO2 mixture 82/18)
A very good and shiny bead aspect with a low presence of silicates
The quality
control process
The detail of the
CARBOFIL GOLD
drawing process gives
the possibility to check
every single stage of the
manufacturing process
resulting in a high quality
and consistent product.
All the spools and drums
of CARBOFIL GOLD
wire have the same
quality, the wire is easy
to use and this gives
welders simplified
power source regulation.

The NEW easy opening box
The packaging of CARBOFIL GOLD wires has been completely renewed,
in order to guarantee better safety and less down time, leading consequently to greater productivity.
