Reduce your costs

Choose the correct gas for your application and reduce costs by as much as 25%

Any welding process has four operating cost components – their approximate contribution to total cost are:

Cost Components Total cost percentage Labour 30% Wire or consumables 45% Shielding gas 12% Power 13%

There are some other cost components relating to weld preparation and post weld cleaning.

The right selection of shielding gas can have a significant impact on reducing weld costs and improving weld productivity by

Increasing weld speed Reducing inefficient wire deposition (excessive spatter & convex bead shape) Improving weld quality (reduced weld rejection) Reducing clean up times (less spatter) Improved operator satisfaction

BOC has been partnering a number of organisations, in a wide range of industries , to help reduce their weld costs
