A recognised quality. ISO certificationIn order to permanently provide our customers

with quality consumables and equipment, all our production units are ISO certified.

For same reason of quality excellence, to warranty our customers an efficient handling of their orders,

sales administration and customers service are also ISO certified.

Since its foundation in 1909, SAF has never ceased to participate in the evolution of the welding and cutting profession. At the beginning SAF was the main company involved in welding works in France.Using the autogeneous oxyacetylene flame welding technique (hence numerous early partnership

agreements with AIR LIQUIDE), SAF’s activity was focussed mainly on ship repairs, this was soon completedby a boiler-making activity. As early as 1913, SAF recognised the advantages offered by the coated electrode welding process and in 1919 launched the first all-welded construction ship: the SAF 4 which facilitated thecarrying out of its ship repair activities.

Since then, the evolutions of the Submerged Arc, TIG, MIG/MAG, plasma, laser, electron beam technologieshave progressively been used by SAF and marketed to its customers. Since 1993, the SAF group has beenintegrated into AIR LIQUIDE Welding (AIR LIQUIDE’s equipment and consumables activity), which allows ourcustomers to benefit from global solutions, processes, gases, equipment and consumables. Thanks to ourexperience in welding and cutting techniques, we can today devote ourselves to proposing innovative solutions aimed at improving the productivity of industrialists involved in metal working.

CTAS, a unique innovation capacity at the customer’s service. Thanks to CTAS (Technical Centre for WeldingApplications) and the design offices of our production units, we can offer innovative solutions toimprove your productivity, your production quality as well as your industrial environment. By integratingand mastering the latest technologies, and by constantly improving the existing processes, equipment andconsumables we create tomorrow’s products.

A permanent listening of our customersWhat helps us to create and propose these specific innovations is our capacity to listen to your needs andunderstand your requirements thanks to the permanent feed-back of our technical and commercial teams.They perfectly know that your company is under a constant competition pressure, on your specific markets andthat you need to adapt your organization to a moving environment, the best answer being an improvement of productivity… Thanks to this innovation we are sure that we are able to help you in succeeding in your challenge of productivity optimisation.

Main applications:• Welding and surfacing of new cast iron parts:

- alloyed cast irons,- cast irons with high mechanical strengths,- cast irons with spheroidal graphite,- gray cast irons,- cast irons with steel.

Mechanical characteristicsHardness: 150 - 170 H.B.Deposit can be worked with a file or a tool.

Chemical analysis (Deposited metal)Alloy with an high nickel content (nickel: 52%).

Specific characteristics:• SAFONTE DOUCE’s ease of use, together

with the characteristics of the weld metal, solve almost all problems involved in welding cast iron, particularly when sealing and machineability are required.

• Very careful preparation is important: clean surfaces, bevel,square-off joint lines, etc.

• Keep local heating down by:- using a small diameter electrode,- using the lowest possible current and a medium arc length,- using a short, narrow and carefully spaced runs.

• Avoid sudden cooling. Preheating (50 to 300 °C) is sometimes necessary.

• In some cases, peening may be advisable immediately afterapplication of each weld bead.

• Keep electrodes away from moisture.• Where necessary, dry at 80 °C for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Initial welding time and currentAllows to pre-heat a piece and to position it correctly on the joint to be welded.

Up slopeAllows a progressive rising of the welding current.

Arc slope downPrevents a crater at the end of the welding cycle and prevents the risks of crackingparticularly light alloys.

Final current and timeUseful in positional welding for continuing the welding cyclewithout extinguishing the arc completely.

Post-gasProtection of the work piece and the electrode after weldingcompleted.

Balance Accentuates, during AC welding the penetration or the cleaning phase.

Pulsed weldingMakes position welding and welding of thin sheet plateeasier, and prevents the collapse of the molten pool.Allows a regular deposit of filler metal and improves the penetration.

TIG welding

DVT: TIG wire feed system with regulating device.Principle of the processAt the front of a TIG torch, one feeds out, at a constant speed, a cold wire which, at the same time, effects a “back and forth”movement. Paying out the filler metal is ensuredby a payout plate which has 2 or 4 rollers. The wire feed speed acts on the size of the dropsof metal which are deposited, whereas the “backand forth” rythm determines the number of drops deposited.

Advantages

• Increased productivityIn all cases, one sees a clear improvement in performance, whatever gas is used. This improvement of performance is obtainedthanks to various gases of AL range. The welding speeds become comparable with that of MIG manual welding.

• Ease of usePROTIG DVT torches are extremely flexible and the position of the wire lead-in (over the pool) is highly appreciated by welders.TIG DVT welding is easily carried out in “all positions”.

• Increased comfortWorking with DVT is less tiring, for the welder.He keeps one hand completely free and can focus his attention entirely on the arc,this makes his work more precise and thus of better quality. If one compares it to MIG welding, the operation is less noisyand does not generate spatter.

MIG: metal inert gasArc welding procedure with a consumable wire.This wire is transferred in the arc and the metalwhich is in a molten condition deposes itself in themolten pool. All this is protected by an inert gas.

MAG: metal active gasSame description as MIG but the protection gas is an active one. (CO2 or argon + CO2 mixture).

MIG pulseThe current varies during welding, the power source is imposing it a very precised “shape wave”. The pulse is above all used for stainless steel wiresand light alloys.

Synergic MIGThe welding parameters are programmed in thepower source set for a common evolution according to a predefined law. One single setting isneeded which facilitates the use of those machinesand improves the welding quality.

2 times modeThe welding occurs by pulling the torch's trigger. It stops by loosening the trigger.

Classical 4 times mode The pre-gas occurs by pushing the trigger, after-wards the welding starts by loosening it then withthe next push on the trigger the welding stops andthe post-gas stays active until releasing the trigger.

Spot mode The power source starts to weld when the trigger ispushed, but the welding stops automatically after apre-set delay.

Intermittance mode This is a point mode which is repeatable. If thepush on the trigger is maintained, the welding willbe retaken after an other delay which is as well tobe regulated.

Speed regulation The welding wire spool is electronicaly regulatedwhich imposes a constant speed of the spool.

Burn backTo solve the problem of wire stiching in the moltenpool on completion of the weld cycle.

Soft startFirstly the wire advances slowly just till the short-circuit point and the arc start; the chosenwelding speed is then set up.

OPTI’systemWelding parameters optimization following needs of the welder (available only on OPTIMAG andOPTIPULS installations).

A.N.D. (Arc Non Disruption)Device avoiding arc disruptions (available only onOPTIMAG installations).

Arc Progressive extinctionor crater filler Allows correct finishing of the weld with the suppression of the crater at the end of the weldthanks to a progressive extinction of the arc (on SAFMIG TRi) or by levels (on OPTIMAG).

Protection against Ball-effectAt the end of the weld cycle in short circuit regime,this device avoids the formation of a ball at the end of the wire. This contribute greatly to the arc-restriking (on TRi installations or OPTIMAG).

Economical aspectsWelding with KERALINE our new range of ceramic backingenables you to build a much more efficient weld of the weldroot :• without gouging,• without grinding,• without re-welding,• without rework,• with an higher root disposition,• with a bigger root thickness permits higher welding

current for the hotpass.

The use of the ceramic backing enables you to weld withhigher Amperage. The quality of the weld will be improved :• higher penetration,• minimum risk of lack of fusion,• smooth profile of the root pass.

BrazingThrough the heating action

of a torch flame, filler metal

(solder) is drawn into the annular

space of the joint.

This phenomenon results

from solder molecules being

attracted to the molecules

of the base metal in the parts

to be assembled.

Braze weldingBraze welding is used

to assemble two parts made

of the same or dissimilar types

of base metal, without melting

the base metal, using a filler metal

with a melting temperature

that is lower than that

of melting the base metals.

This is a gradual welding

operation where the filler metal

moves as welding progresses.

The technique is used to

assemble steel, galvanised steel,

copper, copper alloys

and to repair cast iron.

WeldingWelding consists of an assembly

operation in which the base metal

of the parts to assemble is heated

to coalescence to form the joint.

Depending on the thickness,

welding can be achieved

under conditions that may

or may not be welding

conditions, strictly speaking:

the hottest flame (3 150 °C),

the easiest to adjust,

the strongest per unit of area,

the most oxide-reducing,

can cause inclusions.

Choice of flame• Using a neutral flame (equal mixture of oxygen

and acetylene) is often preferable, especially when

assembling metals that oxidise easily at high

temperatures.

• Due to its chemical and thermal characteristics,

the oxy-acetylene flame offers the best compromise

between flexibility and performance.

• To achieve very high-quality brazing or braze welding,

depending on the flame adjustment, the flame can

easily be neutral.

• An oxy-propane or air-propane flame cannot be used

to obtain a reduction flame. It can be used only for

soft soldering.

Flame adjustment• For braze welding, only an oxy-acetylene flame

can be used. The flame should be adjusted so that

there is slightly more oxygen for bronze, brass

and galvanised steel.

• For others the flame should be neutral.

1 – Pressure regulatorMaintenance

A - Check threads to ensure

they are leaktight*.

B - Check pressure gauges.

C - Turn adjustment knob after

opening gas valve

and check that pressure rises

gradually.

Golden rules

• Never lubricate.

• SYMAP** recommends replacing pressure regulators

after no more than five years of service even

if they are still operating correctly.

2 - HosesMaintenance

Inspect the entire length of the

hose by bending it to make sure

it is in good condition. Check

for splits, cracking and swelling.

Golden rules

SYMAP** recommends replacing hoses after three years

of intensive use, otherwise once every five years..

3 – Quick-action couplingsMaintenance

D - Check that coupling

are securely fastened.

E - Check leaktightness*

in use at service pressure,

first with coupler secured,

then disconnected.

Golden rules

Always replace if an incident has occurred (crushing, damage)

or in case of malfunctioning (leak, pressure loss).

4 – FlashbackarrestorsThese are vital safety parts as

they prevent flame flashback

and gas mixture if the torch

malfunctions.

They must be placed as closely

as possible to the torch or be

built onto the handle.

Golden rules

• Always replace if flashback

or damage has occurred.

• SYMAP** recommends replacing flashback arrestors

after no more than three years of service, even if they are still

in good condition.

5 - TorchMaintenance

F - Check inlet connectors.

G - Check valves to ensure

they are leaktight*.

H - Check that nozzle or cutting

tip is in good condition

and check for any leakage.

Golden rules

SYMAP** recommends replacing

the torch after no more than five

years of service, even if it is still operating correctly.

HEAD PROTECTION

SAF protective headgear includes:

* hand-held masks,

* conventional face masks,

* liquid crystal masks.

All masks comply with European

standard EN 175 (Filters for eye

protectors used in welding

and similar operations).

EYE PROTECTION

Choice criteria: goggles are mainlyused to protect yours eyes againstlight produced by flame welding or cutting or against mechanicalattack (grinding f.e.). Then the design or the habit makethe difference:• PILOT range with round glasses• CLASSIC range• FASHION range• MASKSVerify that the product are conformwith the EN standard (CE markingmandatory). Main EN Standards are EN 166 for basic conditions, EN 169 for welding filters, EN 170 for UV filters, EN 171 for IR filters and EN 172 for solar filters.

• UV filters: type of filter codification

2 or 3, graduation 1.2 to 5,

• IR filters: type of filter codification

4, graduation 1.2 to 10,

• solar filters: type of filter codification

5 or 6, graduation 1.1 to 4.1,

• welding filters: type of filter

codification 3 or 7, graduation 3

to 16 (welding assistant 1.3, flame

welding 3 to 5, oxy-cutting 5 to 7,

arc welding >7).

EAR PROTECTION

State regulations define

the obligations of employers

with regards to noise protection.

Employers are legally obliged

to provide personal protection

to workers exposed to sound

levels higher than 85 dBA/day

or peak levels of 135 dB.

The employer must also set up a

program providing collective safety

measures. To help in this task, SAF

has chosen a range of personal

and collective safety equipment

adapted to the specific needs

of the welder and the welding

environment that comply with:

• EN 352-1

(Hearing protectors - ear muffs),

• and EN 352-2

(Hearing protectors - ear plugs).

CAUTION:

For all welding

or cutting

applications,

SAF strongly

recommends

using eye

protection

that complies

with

EN 169

or EN 379

for protection

from harmful

electric arc

radiation.

BODY PROTECTION

Standard EN 340

defines the general

requirements that

must be met

for any garment

to bear the CE mark (ergonomics,

wear, size, marking,

manufacturer’s information).

In addition to the CE mark,

a garment may also comply

with other European standards

depending on its use.

Welding garments are also

covered by European standard

EN 470-1.

Standard EN 340

relative to protective clothing

worn during welding stipulates

several requirements.

Clothing complying with EN 470-1

does not conduct electricity

from the outside to the inside;

metal fasteners are not used,

or are covered. Outside pockets

must be avoided or placed

at an angle or designed with

a flap to prevent ingress of molten

particles. In general, clothing

that complies with EN 470-1

meets certain requirements

in terms of tensile strength,

tear resistance, flame spread,

and molten metal splash.

HAND PROTECTION

Hands are undoubtedly the most

exposed part of the body

and can be the least protected

due to lack of appropriate

equipment or negligence.

Nearly 40% of work-related

accidents leading to absence

involve the hands and upper limbs.

Well aware of this problem,

SAF has selected a range

of welding gloves appropriate

for various applications,

combining performance,

protection and optimum comfort

for welders’ hands.

Welding gloves standards

Standard EN 420 defines

the general requirements for gloves

(dexterity, safeness, pH, chrome

content, size).

All EC-certified gloves meet these

requirements.

In addition to the CE mark,

a pictogram may also indicate that

the glove has been subjected

to additional tests by a certified

laboratory according to European

standards.Welding gloves are generally

subject to two specific standards,

which evaluate the product

performance level after several

tests. The higher the number,

the better the product performed

in testing; an X means that the

glove was not subjected to the test.

of fumes

The context:

• a welding workshop for the students

• 4 types of work:- welding at fixe place

on samples,- welding on bulky metal

structures,- brazing with the bench,- cutting on automatic machines

(plasma and oxycutting processes).

• Customer requests:- modularity and effectiveness

of air flow rate according to the number and the type of operation stations,

- filtration and partial recycling of the air (particulary in cold season).

The solution applied:

• a centralized network for oil weldingapplications with extraction and filtration with self-cleaning.

Each station is equipped with a motorized obturator and the networkserves: - 6 double tables suction

(welding of test-samples),- 6 suction panels (brazing), - 3 booms PEBE with large operatingrange (bulky parts).Two distinct networks with filtration by CYCLOFILTRE with self-cleaning for cutting machines.

Page 154: SAF - Welding & Cutting Guide

Submerged arc welding (SAW) is a process that gives high productivity(high speed of execution, due to high penetration no bevelling is necessary), excellent quality welds (high penetration and compactness,no spatters), together with a good level of operator comfort (no fumesand no visible arc). SAW process is currently used in several different activity sectors (shipbuilding, vessel fabrication, reconstituted weldedbeams...)

2-2 AFTER HEAT TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONSTo obtain the expected characteristicssome precautions have to be taken:• drying of bonded flux,• the use of non recycled flux,• interpass temperature between

150-200 °C (aim 150 °C),• welding energy has to be between 15 and 20 kJ/cm.

* At low temperature the impact strengthdepends largely on the carbon content of the molten area: C % limit 0.12 % approx. Choose a base metal with not more than 0.15% carbon (chemical analysis of deposit = 70 % chemical analysis of steel + 30 % chemical analysis of wire/flux combination).

** For steel grades E28-4 and A 42 a compromise must be found for the UTS giventhe required impact strength (–40 °C).
