Three specialized and dedicated brands
A wave of mergers and acquisitions in the 1990’s and 2000’s brought some of the best welding companies in Europe’s economic heart
together. Assembled under voestalpine Böhler Welding are the well-known, formerly independent producers Bohler, Avesta, Thyssen,
UTP, Soudokay and Fontargen, and their immense portfolios have now been condensed to three specialized and dedicated brands
marketed worldwide:
Böhler Welding – More than 2,000 products for joint welding in all conventional arc welding processes
are united in a product portfolio that is unique throughout the world. Creating lasting connections is the
brand‘s philosophy in welding and between people.

Demanding industries
Demanding industries
voestalpine Böhler 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
specialists for all target segments who understand your specific
challenges and give support in finding optimum welding solutions.
Thermal power
voestalpine Böhler 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. A wide 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 processes covering the various strength levels, most of which are lowhydrogen 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. Relevant to both oil & gas upstream and downstream is our complete
range of 1% Ni-alloyed welding consumables with all-weld metal Ni-content kept below 1% to ensure conformance with the
NACE MR0175 requirement for SSC safe service in sour environments. 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 Böhler Welding has been involved in the LNG industry 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:
Civil construction
Our broad portfolio of products is applied in the prefabrication of
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 hermetically sealed cans and seamless cored wires give optimum
protection against moisture reabsorption when used outdoors
and thereby protection against hydrogen cracking in all US climate zones.
Pipeline construction
Material specifications play a crucial role in the success and integrity of on and offshore pipeline construction, especially in lowtemperature and sour service applications. voestalpine Böhler
Welding offers a full range of cellulosic, and basic vertical-down
and vertical-up electrodes, as well as solid, flux and metal-cored
wires for semi-automatic and fully mechanized welding, selfshielded flux cored wires and submerged arc wires and fluxes for
steel grades up to X100. Consumables for martensitic, austenitic,
duplex and corrosion resistant alloys (CRA) are readily available.
NACE and CTOD tests have been carried out with a wide range
of our products. We cooperate with major pipeline constructors –
both on and offshore – and supply dedicated consumables for
their specific welding systems.
Quality & HSEE
voestalpine Böhler Welding fully commits to the philosophies of
quality, health & safety and environmental & energy management systems. Our Global Quality & HSEE function ensures the
implementation and maintenance of a multi-site management
system comprising ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. In addition, voestalpine Böhler Welding is committed to implement ISO
50001 standards for all European manufacturing plants.
■■ 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 welding 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, dissimilar joints, nickel-base alloys and aluminium.
Transportation
voestalpine Böhler Welding is a strategic partner and the number
one supplier to Europe’s global leaders in the manufacture of automotive and heavy construction vehicles. We have helped our
key customers who opened new production sites around the
globe by supplying proven products of consistent quality. Highlighted in our product range is a series of excellent cored wires
for the robotic welding of exhaust systems in both austenitic and
ferritic stainless steel. Another powerful innovation is the Alform
welding system for high strength steels applied in e.g. trains and
lifting equipment, where state-of-the art steel from voestalpine is
available with dedicated filler metals and optimized welding procedures for the best possible high strength welding results.

improved high temperature properties, e.g. creep resistance, compared
to low carbon, non-stabilized grades. Avesta 347/MVNb can also be used
for the second layer (first layer 309 type) when cladding mild steel. Avesta
347/MVNb is primarily intended for high temperature service requiring heat
treatment, but the corrosion resistance corresponds to that of 308H, i.e.
good resistance to general corrosion.

Core wire alloyed, rutile covered electrode for welding duplex stainless
steels such as UNS S31803 and S32205. Areas of application are
primarily in the offshore and chemical industries. In addition to increased
strength and toughness, the high proportion of ferrite in the weld metal
also makes it highly resistant to stress corrosion cracking.

Avesta 2507/P100 is a rutile electrode designed for welding super duplex
stainless steels such as 2507/1.4410. The weldability of duplex and super
duplex stainless steels is excellent but the welding should be adapted
to the base material, considering fluidity, joint design, heat input etc. For
detailed welding recommendations, please see “How to weld duplex
stainless steels” or contact voestalpine Böhler Welding.

Avesta 253 MA is primarily designed for welding the high temperature
stainless steel Outokumpu 253 MA, used for furnaces, combustion
chambers and burners. Both the steel and filler metal offer excellent
resistance to oxidation up to 2012 °F. The chemical composition of
Avesta 253 MA is balanced to give a crack resistant weld metal. The steel
often forms a rather thick oxide in the welding of hot rolled and oxidized
plates and therefore welds must be brushed or ground clean before
welding.

Avesta 253 MA is primarily designed for welding the high temperature
stainless steel Outokumpu 253 MA, used for furnaces, combustion
chambers and burners. Both the steel and filler metal offers excellent
resistance to oxidation up to 2012 °F. The chemical composition
of Avesta 253 MA is balanced to give a crack resistant weld metal.
The steel often forms a rather thick oxide in welding or hot rolling
and oxidized plates and welds must be brushed or ground clean
before welding. Corrosion resistance: Excellent resistance to high
temperature corrosion. Not intended for applications exposed to wet
corrosion.

of purity. It is particularly suitable for welding hydro
crackers because of the low P pick-up of 0.004 %
max. UV 420 TTR-W permits sound welding on AC,
by this achieving a higher level of toughness when

BÖHLER FOX EV PIPE is a basic covered electrode which has
excellent welding characteristics for pipe welding in the verticalup progression of root passes with negative polarity as well as
filler and cap passes with positive polarity. BÖHLER FOX EV
PIPE offers considerable time savings against AWS E7018 type
electrodes when welding root passes due to increased travel
speeds.
