We have seen several instances of cold cracking in welds when visiting customers. The standard of welding work and adherence to correct procedure was not an issue, so the question was why it occurred and what can be done to avoid a repetition.
The biggest gains for your business can be made by improving welding operator efficiency to reduce your single biggest cost - labour.
The quickest change you can make to your supply chain efficiency is to take time regularly to look at the work ahead and plan for your wire and consumable use well before you need it.
